The big leap for handheld devices was from flip phones to touch screen computers. I don’t think we will leave handheld devices for glasses, brain chips, etc. The race is now on to make the first handheld “super computer.” So compute is the next leap. If Apple introduces an astronomically powerful iPhone in the next couple years with sci-fi battery technology, that will be the real change people are looking for. Also, imagine if iPhones had a projector, would be cool

The problem is not a fear of short term uncertainty but an overconfidence in long term success. since you are a comp sci grad i’d expect you to understand how as of right now the expectation that infinite scaling won’t bring about agi (which is what investors are hoping for) So even if it was capable of replacing tons of relatively high level jobs with automation (and even that is being very generous) It in no way justifies companies like nvda making up a whopping 8% of the s&p500, like that’s insanely ridiculous and i’m not even counting amd and the other ones

Two different things - firstly, yes, it is automation at an unprecedented scale, but it is inevitable, if not US, China will do it, if not now, in a few decades, no point in delaying the inevitable, we are just scared of short term uncertainty, we’ll figure out a way to make society balance again, we always have. And to the overvaluation part, if you’re talking about PLTR sure, but GOOGL, MSFT, META, AMZN aren’t too far off historic Forward PEs and they have earnings growth to show for their increased capex. And I am an unemployed comp sci grad for what that’s worth 😂😂.
