Remember when every new iPhone keynote felt like a glimpse into the future?
With GPT-5, it’s clear we’ve left the peak of the hardware S-Curve behind and are now accelerating up the software-driven curve of AI innovation.
I still remember when every iPhone keynote felt like peeking into the future. The lights would dim, the room would go quiet, and for a few moments, it felt like we were witnessing something transformative.
Watching OpenAI announce GPT-5 yesterday brought back that same spark, but in a very different way. The energy, the attention, the momentum—it all made me realize how much the focus in tech has shifted.
Smartphones continue to improve with better cameras, faster chips, and sleeker designs, but the changes feel predictable now. It’s a classic example of the S-Curve of Innovation as hardware has reached the plateau, where each step forward feels more like refinement than reinvention.
What really stood out to me with GPT-5 wasn't just the model itself, but how quickly this kind of AI is weaving into our daily workflows, tools, and habits. That’s the real leap. It’s not about one product launch, it’s about the speed at which this technology is already changing the way we think, work, and build.
The most meaningful upgrades no longer come from what’s in your pocket, but from what you can create with a prompt.
