Steve Hou(@stevehou):Unpopular opinion: AI basically became useful for enterprise use early this year with agentic AI acceleration. Everything before was basically consumer and hobbyist. 2026 is year 0 for AI enterprise use. So why would anyone have expected measurable productivity increase already.
