I really had to dig through my cynicism to the buried tech optimist in me. But here is some tech I think is really cool.
Framework: obviously
Cloudflare: the features like cloudflare workers and anti ai stuff is pretty cool. Ddos mitigation they do is impressive.
Nvidia: their GPU tech is insane. They are going full stack with their own networking and GPU on the motherboard like a CPU. Their dlss as much as I hate it is very impressive.
Perplexity browser is interesting to me I can’t wait to see what it turns out to be. The idea of having a new way to browse the web is cool.
Ar glasses are getting really good x real air 2s i want a pair so bad.
Self driving cars: waymo and Tesla self driving is incredible.
Boston dynamics robots are sick. Warehouse logistic robots are sick I really like what Amazon is doing on that front.
Bluesky is cool tech as much as I hate that it copied the fediverse and usurped it with vc funding
Yeah, Cloudflare is doing some interesting things. But, for the most part those aren’t consumer-focused services.
Perplexity is one of the worst of the AI offenders. Their crawlers don’t respect “robots.txt” or other things that say that LLM crawling isn’t allowed.
For self-driving cars, I’ll give Google credit there. Their Waymo division is really making progress in self-driving cars. They didn’t come up with the concept, but they’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
OTOH, Tesla’s self-driving is a joke. In fact, by calling their bullshit “full self-driving”, they’ve forced the legitimate self driving car companies to use a different term. Tesla’s self driving is so bad that it’s hurting the rest of the industry and setting back the possibility of actual self-driving vehicles by years.
Boston Dynamics humanoid robots are cool, I’m not as impressed with their robodog though. But, from what I saw from Beijing last week, they’re already way ahead of Boston Dynamics. Even when some of their bots were failing, the kinds of movement they were making before they failed seemed more advanced (and natural) than the Boston Dynamics bots.
I disagree with some of your choices, but you’ve got some good ideas too.
Perplexitys methods are bad but the concept of a natural language web browser is a completely unique thing and thats interesting to me. Its like when google enabled people to search “how to change a tire” instead of before where people searched with keywords.
Idk how you can say self driving tech is not cool. Even the worst self driving which is Tesla’s is still very impressive. Telsa can drive autonomously through the street using only cameras. Is it perfect no but its still very good and its only a joke because of how good the competition is. That gives me a lot of hope for self driving cars.
As for that Chinese robot dog yeah I see the video that got put out, I dont think it blows away Boston dynamics version in anything but manufacturing costs. All the falling and all terrain movement the Chinese dog can do has been done by Boston dynamics for almost 5 years at this point.
Self driving tech is cool. Tesla’s take on Self Driving is not cool because it’s not effective.
Telsa can drive autonomously through the street using only cameras.
Sorta… a bit… in a way that will lead to an accident sooner or later. If they put LIDAR on their cars it would be far more effective, but Musk wants to be different. He insists on only using cameras even though you can’t safely do self-driving with only cameras. Typical Musk, cutting corners and lying.
Yeah its dumb to not use lidar and elon musk sucks but the cars can self drive without a doubt. That self driving is impressive even if waymo is already doing taxi services with near perfect driving for the past few years.
So can my sister’s car for a few seconds if you put the cruise control on. But it can’t self-drive safely, and neither can Teslas. But, my sister’s car doesn’t advertise the ability to self-drive. But, Musk pretends that Telsas can, which is extremely dangerous. He’s killing people by muddying the waters and pretending his cars can self-drive safely.

Ok idc about defending tesla anymore. Self driving is cool tech and we can pretend Tesla’s cant self drive.
Sounds good.
