I wonder if it's me simply getting older and naturally jaded, or a real change in the world, but tech / software is just getting less personally exciting for me. Things are getting mature, they are on high version numbers, the innovators replaced by committees. Enshittification rampant. I used to be excited for things like new features in Python, but maybe related to the switch to design-by-committee model, I'm less so now. ML and AI was exciting, surprising. Today, there are still cool things like the new Gemini image editor or Genie 3, or Veo 3, but it's hard to ignore how its use is also mostly feeding the monetized enshittification metric-gaming slop-production that displaces genuineness from the net. At this point, none of these advances are jaw-dropping. They just built a bigger datacenter, curated their data better, trained a bigger model, etc. And what's the endgame? Real-time photorealistic 24/7, photorealistic VR experiences? Probably doable, but dystopian. New phones used to be fun, new OSs used to be fun, now things are somehow simultaneouly stale and too-fast-moving. The same category of things, but with churn that doesn't make one interested in putting in the time.
