The fact that their desktop offerings are so pap is an indictment of their engineering prowess and a demonstration of their apparent inability to use their own (actually very good!) LLMs to generate decent software.

It baffles me how a technology so good at spewing out software is apparently unused by the people who are developing the technology.

I've lived through enough hype cycles in tech myself that I do know that eventually it tones back down and people go back to work, perhaps altered from what they did before with new approaches, but back to work nonetheless.

I just felt myself that this particular technology, and this particular cycle, might be a little different - let alone in how it caused changed in our society whether it worked or now, but that also, there is still room to go.

I'd be fascinated to know what they say on the inside, if there is still room to go and to improve, or if we're nearer some sort of plateau in progress.
