@thomasfuchs That's the emerging tech hype cycle & you seem to be ignoring that some of these things survive into the productivity phase.
3D printing has revolutionized product development.
Some people use voice assistants daily. Dictation has improved a lot.
LLMs are the piece of smarts that voice assistants lacked.
ADAS is now almost mandatory in cars. Not FSD, but saves lots of lives.
VR is slowly getting there, pushing very high-dpi screens, lighter electronics.
