That jump in computer intelligence, so soon, is completely surprising. And I bet most actual sci fi fans would agree.
I used to dismiss anything near-future involving any robot or AI you could just talk to. Now it exists. Unfathomable.

You forgot one.
Not sure mainstream tv would still follow this logic today.
AI is in.
But at some point we’re hitting a wall here. If we want our software to undo 100,000x more processing powers, we need that llm software emulation layer.
I thought you need at least special relativity for time dilution.
The whole window arranging so you can click on them doesn't help you when you have multiple desktops, close some terminal, and jump to some other terminal three desktops away. Like, arranging windows so you see some part of it always, just so you can click on it to switch back and forth between windows feels like a horrible workaround for broken alt-tab behavior. But there's additional levels of weirdnesses that just make using Apple frustrating and scary, like it's constantly throwing random curve balls. It just reeks disorganization. Which is really unfortunate - 10 years ago or so (when witcher task switcher still worked) I really enjoyed working mac. Back then I was mostly coding in the same windows I guess. Nowadays it's business work, and it's just a pain.
In the end you’ll spend a significant amount of your time trying to “get back” to where you just where (that alt-tab, a possible savior for this in all other OSs, doesn’t work at all on Mac just adds to the UX mess)
Every app window / browser tab is like 1GB these days.
But the functionally most use would be mostly there with office 95 at the latest (except for syncing).
Why does software nowadays use 1000x the resources of software 25 years ago, but only provides minimally more useful features.
The second is lack of privacy, in terms of attractiveness. 6-people-per-cabin couchette cars have sufficient capacity, but the market isn't quite there anymore.
We basically want to get as many cabins as possible in railcar (to reduce cost), but they're are comfortable and private (to increase attractiveness). With these levers, you can change the operating margin from -15%..-10% to around 10%.
We are not an operator, so we will work with operators, basically adding our railcars to their trains.
It kind of feels people have given up. I'm working on a startup that aims to replaces aviation (the most difficult emissions to avoid) with night trains in Europe (currently economically uncompetitive). It's an obvious impact story, but impact appears to be "out".
