Precursor Ventures compares AI adoption speed to the internet. An LLM reached 90% non-US users in three years, versus 23 years for the internet. The speakers debate whether the product itself or existing infrastructure explains the difference.
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.
