All these AI developments feel like the early crypto days—there’s constant buzz and mind-blowing stuff happening. 

DeepSeek appears out of nowhere—wow! GROK suddenly becomes the smartest of them all—wow! Y Combinator’s handing out $20K grants to students for summer AI projects, and the U.S. is pouring money into the AI industry.

Me? I’m just a thrilled end user waiting for projects that shake up the physical world—like cooking meals, fixing my gadgets, or doing home renovations. It actually feels a whole lot closer now than it did five years ago.
