Just reflecting on two things that have NOT gotten visibly faster with AI:
-
Launching financial services in a new country/region. Many US neobanks are still not available in the EU, and the other way around. Software was never the bottleneck?
-
Adding support for old hardware. Windows 11 still doesn’t run on older devices; iOS still doesn’t support older phones, same with Android. Even though we have more ways to make it work, no
What else is like this, where things have not gotten faster at all?
