It feels like 6 months ago, I couldn’t go a few hours without being exposed to some new wild claims from Microsoft or Google, or any of the other companies working on this. Lately nothing comes up in any of my feeds.

Thank you for sharing your personal story! I relate so much!
I was a major contributor to the underlying technology and game systems that drove the world’s first internet-enabled touch screen game network. We had crazy score comparison patents, all kinds of shit going man - we were hitting on all cylinders. Partnership with American Games, AMOA, Monolith, major PC distributors like Compaq, tie into in-house developed probability contest back-end … we were exhibiting at the computer game developers conferences.
After three and a half years, it alllllllllll ended up in a puff of smoke. Although I developed some amazing technologies, not one of those things ended up seeing the light of day. Fuck. Me.
I worked on so many firsts in the gaming sector and the truth is, 90% of them at minimum were a complete waste of resources in terms of bringing a product to bear.
But through it all, it was the passion to find problems that needed solving, and then solving them that really drove me so at least I had that!
