They had to basically shut down their consumer video division.
They've shut down a number of other divisions in favor of
co-generating models that are recursively self-improving and targeted at enterprise use cases because enterprises have the money and the desire to use advanced reasoning capabilities.
So the adjacent question I would ask is, what will an AI feel like to an enterprise rather than to a consumer in mid-2028?
I can tell you what I think you want to hear.
Which is you want to hear that mid-2028, you're going to have an AI exocortex that's a quasi-upload of you, your digital twin in the cloud that knows everything about you and your life and is fully optimizing your meat body existence, knowing what it knows about you.
I think that's what you want to hear.
I don't think that's actually how things are going to play out, though.
I think what AI will feel like in 2028 from a consumer perspective, yeah, sure, we'll have better augmented reality, we'll have better robots in the streets.
All of that, I think, is already essentially priced into the market.
What's not being priced in right now, the non-obvious insights are new scientific discoveries that consumers aren't the ones who are driving what you're taking into power.
The question, as constructed, is basically what products is Apple going to launch in 2020?
Because these all map onto Apple product categories.
You get your smart home, you get your robots, you get your wearables of all sorts.
Maybe if we're lucky, we get ingestible robots.
We get all of these things.
But I don't think that's the essence of what AI is going to feel like to a consumer.
And I don't think that's the core or the frontier.
Salim, what do you think?
Alex, I'm generally so I'm a big fan of Werner Vinci, who wrote extensively about what the near future AR VR metaverse, if you like, would look like.
