This is a meta comment, but I think it's extraordinary that we're only 15ish years from the first smartphone release and we've already reached the "boring" incremental improvement phase for these tiny pocket supercomputers.

Consider how long it took PCs to reach the same stage (with a fraction of the adoption). It was like 20 years from Kenbak-1 to the 90s PC era.

Current LLMs and misc. deep learning enable an early kind of ubiquitous personalized AI augmentation that's always with you.

One barrier to innovation here is that most of tech has shifted to think of empowering users as not the goal, but rather, empowering users is an occasional necessary step towards the company exploiting those users harder.

We could use better thinking.
