technical path
if technical path is wrong
then likely project will fail
lots of efforts will be wasted
many wrong technical paths looks attractive
they promised a great future
but finally they failed, and forgotten
tech industry don’t lack stories of wrong technical path
semantic web, virtual reality, java applets, nosql, big data, web3, p2p, 3d printing, no-code,
a common pattern is the over promise of applications
most of the time, we don’t need big data, nosql, vr
today llm could be another over-hyped technique
we should treat it as another tool, which is good at text/image/video/audio understanding and generation
but the intention to rebuild everything with llm is doomed to fail
it could achieve very high level of intelligence, like solving ioi math problems
but most applications are not math problems
