Who went to prison for illegally spying on innocent citizens and foreign countries? That’s right...no one. They can do whatever they want since Americans have become sheep quite some time ago and don’t stand for anything and keep voting the same corrupt status quo into office.

AR glasses? Please, no, those are a privacy nightmare. I won't know what info you are gathering or automatically shown about me when looking at me. Big companies having my info is one, having it at the fingertips or should I say eyelashes of everyone in the world? Shudder. Sure, there could be rules around it, but who tells me you are complying to them so no, please God, no, no. Ok, rant over.

My phone. Batteries that last days. Better cameras, but the laws of nature are in the way for the most part there. Easier integration with other equipment like your laptop, TV, or camera gear. Longer support. Modular options to select exactly the phone you want, just like laptops and PCs. OS freedom if you want to. One time purchase for all apps, so you don't have to buy them again when switching Android to Apple. Better yet: a shared app store for all platforms. But most of all: better battery life.

Don’t know about NSA, but I do know that Microsoft/CharltGPT has been soliciting NASA for research purposes. They did a presentation the other day to my husband’s department. I think they are looking ways to improve chatGPT’s science and code handling skills. They said they wanted to see how NASA uses AI.

My husband already uses ChatGPT for coding menial tasks, like unit tests, and minor scripts. NASA works with very proprietary hardware, because it has to survive being in space, so Microsoft might be curious what kind of hardware questions they ask to help other hardware companies.

Microsoft might also be soliciting NASA just to say, “we are so awesome that even NASA uses us!”

I’m any case, I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t already reached out to NSA. Much of NSA’s internal data is probably classified/restricted, so they won’t share that stuff with ChatGPT, but all the miscellaneous web data gathering could probably be handled by chatGPT.

Rollable phones. Don't know how foldable phones are seemingly winning that battle right now, because they seem to be ugly and impractical with a noticeable crease that makes an expensive phone seem like a cheap one.

The other big thing will be AI edge capability. There's a huge gap in performance between what phones need now for contemporary applications, and what they will need to run AI applications on the edge device. I really think this will be the driver in the need to keep upgrading to the latest phones, as even my middle tier device does everything I need.
