If I were to judge on technical advancements alone, I would have to say Lunar Lake.

Also, I'm pretty sure Arrow Lake or Panther Lake were now showcased.

If now = not, there were actual mentions of both in roadmaps. Also mentioned in roadmaps were Blackwell, Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, Rubin Ultra, CDNA4 and CDNA4 next.

Yeah, but merely mentioning them can't win a "best launch/teaser" award, can it?

Challenge: find the ten differences between the below statement and yours :)

'If you can't really trust crypto to not fluctuate wildly in value, and you have to double check whether your ice cream cone didn't just double in price, how can it ever be a valid way to pay things with?'

Its all more of the same. Overcomplicated 'solutions' to problems we never had and won't ever solve either. Basically the gist is: nothing is perfect and no system will ever be perfect. Because humans interact with it, you will need humans to keep it within the boundaries of what's acceptable. This applies to crypto. Its unregulated but humans keep screwing with it. And that also applies to AI: its unregulated, and humans keep screwing with it. What are they trying to replace? Regulated systems that work fine.

No system is infallible. Its the perfect thing to sell: a product that's never done, feeding on its own nonsense, and just like crypto, 'forever in beta'. 'But this time its really great'...
This post, and the one you replied to sum up my feelings about the two biggest "developments" (aka. fakes) in IT within the last 10 years perfectly.

What about 8K Monitors?
You'll keep seeing 5K and 6K first, before 8K becomes the fad. The PS5 revision even removes the '8K' logo from its packaging. Hardware is not ready to render and most software is useful for that resolution unless it's usually designed with a +300% scale.
In my opinion, for the desktop/gaming space, QUXGA and WQUXGA ought to become the norm, while TVs and the like keep on their 16:9/12:5/21:9 shenanigans.
