Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang responded approvingly ("senpai notices us") to a viral critique arguing today's AI products are seriously uncool because engineers build them for engineers, assuming the whole world lives in a terminal. The post cites Apple's decade as the world's most valuable company: anyone—kids to grandmothers—could pick up an iPhone and get value, while AI today has no equivalent. Wang's reaction suggests he shares the concern.
