The Gap Between Possible and Deployed: A Cadence Model of Computer Intelligence and the Forcing Function of Automation Tools
Methods that lower the cost of computer intelligence appear in public years before most products use them. This article measures that gap from dated sources, models how reporting and funding calendars set part of it, and states what data would refute the model.
In plain words
- Many ways to make computer intelligence cheaper and faster are published years before most people can use them in a product.
- Part of that wait is real engineering work. Part of it comes from calendars: companies decide in quarterly and yearly steps, and investors fund in cycles of several years.
- When a tool makes the work cheap enough, waiting stops paying for the seller, and what is left to charge for is the cost of switching away, not the cost of computing.
