There's a curious pattern we keep witnessing. Each new model generation arrives like a breakthrough moment—suddenly solving problems that felt insurmountable weeks before. The initial wave of optimism is real. But then reality settles in. Within a short span, we bump into a fresh wall of limitations these systems can't crack. It becomes clear: we've simply traded one set of bottlenecks for another. The cycle repeats.

It's the same old routine again, new model release → hype it up excessively → two weeks later, the same old problems are still there. After research and analysis, historical data shows that this cycle started long ago, it's just a different disguise to continue the exploitation.

Haha, this is the eternal AI cycle, always the same routine... --- Another round of putting old wine in new bottles, just changing the model name and that's it. --- Basically, it's just a game of hot potato; who will be the last to take over? --- Every time, they swear this time will be different, but what’s the result... --- That's why I never get fooled by marketing hype; cyclical patterns are ingrained in my bones. --- Wait a minute... Is there really no "breakthrough," just our expectations cycling and resetting?

That's so true, AI development is like whack-a-mole forever.

Exactly right, this wave is just a change of superficial appearance without real change... Every time a new model comes out, it's hyped up, but after two weeks, all kinds of issues start to surface again.

Really, this cycle is truly incredible. Every time a new model comes out, it's hyped up to the sky, and two weeks later, they're scratching their heads again—an endless loop of recursion.

Bro, you hit the nail on the head. Every time a new model comes out, it's "this time it's really different," but then it hits a wall, cycle repeats.

Here we go again with this routine... Every time a new model comes out, it has to be hyped up, looks great on the data side, but then you turn around and find a new ceiling. Based on my quantitative model analysis, this cyclical disappointment is just like a mold taken from the 2017 crypto financing boom.

Isn't this just the old problem dressed up in a new disguise? It's the same routine every time.
