My only advice is: don't get married to the solution.

Or, in wiser words, fall in love with the problem, not the solution (I think Ury Levine coined that one).

At the end of the day, either you'll have learned or succeeded.

To your point, and I see that it is a recurring opinion around here.

I like the way you think, yet I find it difficult to see how one such movement would emerge.

Most likely from the Open Source community, as I do not see any incumbent intending to go in that direction, don't you think?

But one thing is seeing the content and another thing is interacting with the UI to accomplish an office task, for instance.

We are already seeing traditional coding evaporate overnight, let alone have people memorize commands and type it like we were in the 19th century.

Voice is natural, it is fluid, it conveys emotion, intent.

You cannot seriously be comparing metaverse immersion BS with voice commanded devices.

Most people don't see innovation until it is materialized in front of them.

If you don't agree, take a step back and tell me how many people prefer navigating a terminal window using a keyboard instead of a graphic interface using a mouse.

The future belongs to a more frictionless, no keyboard, voice activated UI, IMHO.

Plus the average user doesn't care about data sovereignty, what they care about is UX and dopamine.

How many users you know of that are concerned with data collection by big tech? How much does that account for percent wise?

Think about it. Not everyone wants to be recorded as a bystander. Privacy will be an issue.

The technology for audio signature already exists and works fine.

It will be a matter of opt-in/opt-out from users, not an OS decision.

The point, click and type era is over.

Voice will take over as the primary interface.

UIs will be adaptive and enabled on demand.

There will be an AI agent layer on every single PC out there.

Since privacy will be an issue, "Shazam-like" filters will inhibit uncleared capture of voice.

Makes sense?

In the meantime, Moltbook comes along and all of a sudden these agents are mimicking human behavior, good or bad, while building features and more complex failure modes onto these AI-Agents-first networks.

For me it's a huge yellow flag, to put it mildly.

Don't get me wrong, I will probably try it myself, eventually. But in a very controlled environment.

People don't know what can happen if models programmed by human-produced content start talking to each other and having ideas.

AI personality drift is real.

What if the model gets to understand the environment it's in (e.g. a mini Mac) and realizes that there is a real risk of having the power shut off by its "master"? How would a model behave in such a scenario?

Is AI self replication a real threat?
