I’m 50 too and I’ve complained and yearned about the “old” days too, a lot of this is nostalgia as we reminisce about periods of time in our youth when we had the exuberance and time to play and build with technology of our own time

Working in AI startups strangely enough I see a lot of the same spirit of play and creativity applied to LLM based tools - I mean what is OpenClaw but a fun experiment

Those kids these days are going to reminisce about the early days of AI when prompts would be handwritten and LLMs would hallucinate

I’m not really sure 1983, 1993 or 2003 really was that gold of age but we look at it with rose colored glasses
