   The secret to success for OpenAI, Anthropic and labs is the vision that they saw 10 years back and kept working on it. We're in awe of how models like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 are performing today, but it's important to understand that they've been working on this before we knew about AI.

   The next big thing is Robots and some stealth company building today is going to be a trillion-dollar giant in few years time.

      That’s just hindsight. People work on a lot of different things. Breakthoughs and cumulative improvements reaching a tipping point might happen or not.

         Agreed, Quantum Computing is a nice example of this.

            LLMs were also a nice example of this before 2018 or so, so I wouldn't necessarily count on quantum computing being a disappointment forever.
