At my age (sorry dunno yours) everything comes quickly but I agree this, and other tech stuff lately, come on fast these days.
Side note reminds me of neuromancer (book) where it’s described as subcultures can come up and disappear quite fast. Oddly relevant to today even if we can’t plug into the net. It’s a single line in the book so don’t think that’s the focus if you haven’t read it, but I do recommend. Though the prose can’t be difficult sometimes cause sometimes almost written poetic.
Definitely one of my favourites somehow didn’t read (well listen) till like 8 years ago, wish I made the effort much sooner but grew up mostly without an Internet or friends to tell me I should check it out…then decades happened. Took me a listen or two to really get it but it’s one of those I pick up on some line I didn’t ponder before that says more than first glance.
Rest of the trilogy is great too I’m hoping the 3rd in the peripheral series will be good.
Wow! The enshitification of LLM comes quicker than what I would believe

His Spook Country trilogy is pretty great too. Didn’t read the peripheral one maybe in the future.
Too soon, it might kill AI chatbots (fingers crossed)
