I think it will take a long time for the world at large to realize and then operationalize the potential of this "mundane" technology. It is revolutionary, and also sitting in plain sight. Such a huge technological shift that was considered decades out only a few years ago


Although I am an optimist* about what this can do, I am very much aware — from personal experience — how easy it is to see more than is really there.

The realisation of the tech might be fantastic new things… or it might be that people like me are Clever Hans-ing the models.

* that may be the wrong word; "strong capabilities" is what I think is present, those can be used for ill effects which is pessimistic.
