Someone on a different thread asked what new smartphone CPUs would be used for. The answer, according to this article, is gaze tracking the infinite scroll.

(Hmm. Part of the idea presented here is that it really doesn't take that long, especially in short-form, to gather less than thirty bits worth of targeting. In a world where "bespoke" is available to everyone, will hipsters have to shift to lauding mass-production to differentiate themselves?)
