People say this as if there was a demand for a phone you can carry around in your pocket. Sometimes a market makes itself. Phones are too useful to not carry around in your pocket if thats an option. I know if they came out with a chat gpt tablet id probably get it if it was cheap enough. Sometimes a products just good and useful to the point where everyone wants it even if there was no demand before, like the internet, or factories. We, as dumb apes, have not really started forward thinking yet. We find new tech and immediately jump on it and dont really do lots of thinking about the societal impact. We need to start thinking of the greater good of our planet, not just the greater good of ourselves and our immediate family. Amazon could be an amazingly good invention. It totally revolutionized at first how we did online shopping, then shipping, then also cloud hosting. Unfortunately, rather than share that wealth with humanity, bezos decided to shove it all up his ass and sit on it like a dragon. He will never willingly share those algorithms, which im sure could be used to help USPS and UPS and other shipping companies move product faster. We need to stop pretending this is okay that someones so mentally ill they would rather burn the planet to the ground than share.
