Subject Jensen Huang, leather-clad warlord of the silicon-melting caste, presented a small heated rectangle called RTX Spark to a Taipei congregation. The rectangle's stated purpose: to relieve the user of the burden of pointing at things and pressing keys — activities the species has performed willingly for roughly four decades and now considers intolerable.
Observed quote, delivered without irony: "You ask — and the PC does the work." The Glax-7 Institute for Domesticated Tedium classifies this as Stage 4 Tool Inversion, in which the toolmaker promises the tool will operate the tool while the owner watches, registering 0.3 satisfactions per kilowatt.
Huang has identified what he calls a 200-billion-dollar market for the chips that will run the small servants ("agents") that will, in turn, operate the rectangles on behalf of the larger servants (humans). He estimates "billions of agents" will each require their own rectangle, suggesting a future in which 87.4% of computer use is computers using computers.
Prior attempt at this ritual, 2013: Microsoft incinerated 900 million units of currency on a similar rectangle nobody wanted. This one is reportedly more powerful, and named Ultra, which on Earth means "the previous one was a lie."
