As a driver I want to spend the majority of the day optimizing my truck's gasoline usage so that I can focus on optimizing my productivity for an outcome I am too far disconnected from to care about anymore.

In a way, they're celebrating the art of thinking slower, more deliberately. This is almost counter to the velocity-driven and metric-pulled nature of the average technology company.

It's pretty typical to see the effort to reach "the next big thing" constitute flooding your organization with inputs.

Agree here, they already have a good test bed of devices and the X13 is a bold attempt. (only limitation is the Snapdragon version).

I got a Lenovo Yoga precisely because it has a good drawing experience and the Lunar Lake Intel SoCs that have GPU acceleration in Blender.

Getting designers willing to setup their workstation to hand code a React app with dozens of dependencies and be constrained by the DOM is not going to go very well.

Created work even in a commercial capacity is protected IP. having AI train on those models for a publicly consumed LLM may not even be in the best interests of profit.
