The Internet took 23 years to reach 90% non-US users. A major US language model hit that mark in three years. The speakers argue whether the speed comes from the AI itself or from existing infrastructure that was already in place.

That AI adoption piece outside the us. That's where I found metrics that were the most staggering. From the slides it said it took 23 years for the Internet to reach 90% non US usership. In contrast, a leading USA based LLM reached 90% non US usership in three years. So how much of this adoption is due to the product versus the underlying Rails, the Internet software? We've talked about this a little bit in previous podcasts.
