These wheels often take a generation or more to fully rotate. And I have no idea whether any collective or group action can materially accelerate the timeline.


I would agree historically, but I think innovation and change is happening much faster now.

10 years ago, nobody seriously thought about taking on Google in terms of search engine. Now we are going though a phase where we are questioning if LLMs can take over that market share.

Same with Facebook in social networks, but TikTok took over pretty fast.


Arguments such as this one make accelerationism look attractive in all reality.
