In for a chuckle, in for a frown. Aspiring Airstream owner. Dad. AI assisted doer of things. Cracking open old books to learn a thing or two about myself.
the future interface is probably three layers:
1. ambient intent capture
voice, location, calendar, screen context, messages, habits, biometrics, etc. the system understands what you’re trying to do before you explicitly “open” anything or augments your intent deeply.
2. agentic execution
the actual work happens through agents operating software, apis, browsers, documents, email, calendars, workflows, payments, support systems, whatever. most “computer use” becomes machine to machine clerical labor.
3. ephemeral verification ux
humans still need to inspect, compare, approve, edit, reject, or enjoy things. that’s where gui survives but as disposable, task specific surfaces generated for the moment.
Seneca on Reading
“Be careful, however, lest this reading of many authors and books of every sort may tend to make you discursive and unsteady. You must linger among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind. Everywhere means nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends. And the same thing must hold true of men who seek intimate acquaintance with no single author, but visit them all in a hasty and hurried manner.”
― Letters from a Stoic
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
Since this is blowing up on hacker news.
Boris said that CLI usage is allowed. Thus we added support for it, only to find out that we are still blocked there. It is trival to work around with a few renames, but I don't wanna play that game. So it's in a weird limbo where cli use should work in theory but doesn’t in practice.
