    What are your thoughts on Magic Leap, and how soon augmented reality will become small enough to wear and useful? How do you calculate that?

    I didn’t get a chance to join in, but I went and read through the Q&As just now and it seems like it was a really good discussion.

    BTW, I was just reading an article on AI the other day and it made me think of you. I’m glad to hear you liked Her, because I loved that movie too, though I have to admit, in terms of AI predictions, I think it’s pretty farfetched. I’m totally willing to overlook that for its central question about what it means to be human (and to love).
