What does that mean?

What a smooth experience! I managed to get an old desktop - with no wifi and far from n ethernet port - connected by this gadget! Great job in getting this to work, creating a nice user interface and releasing it!

Opus in December last year.”

You seem to be implying that there was nothing before. Obviously not true.

“AI may be a tool and add 50 IQ points to a 100 IQ person today but what happens when its adding 10000 IQ points.”

What is even IQ? What if it adds 50 now, 25 next month, 12.5 the month after, etc. You should check out Zeno.
