There's been a dramatic increase in sloppy kinda-working something.vercel.com output in niche circles. I think that shows at least a weak demand for certain types of software, but it's not clear that the vast piles of cash that have been burned producing these "apps" are actually resulting in quality of life improvements.

I’m waiting for like GEICO’s app to significantly improve.

I’m not expecting Chrome to because it already had virtually unlimited resources devoted to it. On the other side I’m not expecting my local water district’s to any time soon because the people in charge don’t care even if it was significantly cheaper to improve.

But in the middle is something like GEICO and that’s where I expect improvements if this thing is real.

Except GEICO probably believes it gets no more money from improving the app. Instead they will attempt to improve their general risk modeling as that's where they think the money will come from.

I think you’re right and Buffet probably has the same mindset. Look at Berkshire Hathaway’s website lol no css styling whatsoever.

This may not be the best place, but I am so tired of waiting since ~round 2 of GPT et al for diagrams and graphing...especially if all the relevant data etc can be found online or provided
