The article poses the question "What do you want your phone/computer to do that it can’t", and suggests that there really is nothing left - software is done, all remaining problems are hardware.

I can't think of many things, but there are a few: I want an LLM teaching 1 on 1 language lessons. Good ones, with tailored vocab, tailored reading, tailored listening, grammar lessons, and (most importantly): conversation training including it correcting my pronunciation and grammar.

Current LLMs can do most of that when prompted correctly (and supplied with textbooks and podcasts), just the last part is missing.

But what else is there?

I liked it because he shows the logistic curve, something that's forgotten today when people are enamored with the exponential and the "intelligence explosion" model of

  dx    2
  -- = x
  dt 
even though you never see people actually write that one down.
