Ideas Aren’t Getting Harder to Find

Part of the reason that AI development has been so fast and breathtaking is because it came out of nowhere (for most of us) and has successfully avoided major govt constraints to date. With fewer govt constraints even the electricity sector could create faster and more breathtaking developments.

“…there's a growing body of evidence that suggests ideas are not, in fact, getting harder to find. Instead, the problem appears to be that markets have become less effective at translating breakthrough technologies into productivity gains. Researchers appear to be continuing to generate valuable innovations at historical rates. It’s just that these innovations face greater barriers to commercialization, and innovative firms thus fail to gain market share.”
