I am spiraling. The more I think about this the more I don’t understand how having different colors makes products in almost any category more competitive. It seems like it would be an obvious answer. But “people have favorite colors and are more likely to buy something in a color they like.”?

Do products that come in lots of colors sell more than those that only come in one or two? If so, why‽

Are there really enough people that wouldn’t buy an iPhone, but then it comes out in purple and they’re like “ok I’m in!”?

Alternately, AI Foom happens, we are all digitized because AI can keep us “alive” and “productive” more effectively in digital form, and our relationship with computation becomes “it is the foundation of our existence”. Have you read “The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect”?

…heavily monetized pipes to be processed on shared compute (“the public cloud”). A lot of this is already happening but could be escalated a lot more depending on the monetization/surveillance schemes and incentives that win the future.

…depend heavily on shared centralized compute resources that require a network connection. e.g. some will get powerful personal devices that can run a whole Siri (but good) locally, and only download data from the web as needed for that. Others will have to send all their algo requests through…

I thought about this some more. My answer before was more about how people interact with the outputs of computing. Another answer is that I think some people will get more and more computing locally at their edge devices (phones, home devices) to run their individual algos, while others will…

A lot of stuff gets completely automated out of any individual’s awareness. Individuals pay subscriptions to be able to take back personal control, or to better, more individualized algorithms for automating what information they see, what they do, how much they “feel like they can make choices”

I have the Tern Quickhaul and it is possibly my favorite powered vehicle I have used! I’m getting rid of a OneWheel and a Boosted Board. Tern e-bikes are the true cyberpunk vehicle of the future.

Have you read Hollow Kingdom? A novel about the zombie apocalypse from the perspective of a crow living in Seattle? Seems to sit at the intersection of your interests.
