Reply to comment by iNstein in Why did 2003 to 2013 feel like more progress than 2013 to 2023? by questionasker577

>ed between 2013 and 2023? How about in mining? Metallurgy? Shipping? Logistics? Battery tech? Automation? Farming? agriculture? Computational analysis?

Exactly that! - extreme case of cherry picking/

If I judge by evolution of a toaster in past 20 years, oh boy the progress is really shit, toaster still toasts 2 slices of bread (while our exponential expectations were about toasting 1 billion slices) it still does not talk, does not walk and does not please you sexualy, still requires electricity and all - zero progress, how can one expect any thing to come out from AI, LEV or fusion if toasters are still like that.

if we're being technical toasters from 20 years ago pale in comparison to some of the toasters we have today

Really? I thought there have always been bad and good toasters, the restaurant quality ones with a good clarified butter for the industrial type of toast, and then the residential ones.
