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.

Ageing is a slow, unpleasant but inevitable process of realising your dad was right about everything.

Oh you’re sure ______ won’t work?

Wow. How brave of you.

80% of everything fails. You’re not smart. You’re the guy who bets $5 to win $6.

Critics look like geniuses up front but like fools long term.

Of course they just go quiet when they are ultimately proven wrong.

Or just have a 10% total credit attribution protocol weighting payments according to concept similarity, as evaluated by a big generative model embedding distance test.

Just need to remove friction of credit attribution. Micropayments for IP.
The endgame.

global statistical illiteracy is the root cause of a lot of human suffering

humans have great intuition on how to act in immediate situations.

but things that act across large numbers or across time are functionally illegible to >95% of the population

As a tech co, you can either:
-have cooked
-be cooking
-are cooked
choose wisely.

"Build things that can ship fast" is a psyop.

Build things that are hard to build and thus to replicate.

.@naval on regulating AI and the free access of mathematics:

Almost all the innovation of the last 50 years has come in the unregulated industries.

If you go to the regulated industries like healthcare, it’s a nightmare because there’s just too many bureaucrats who are there saying no, and you can’t actually do anything interesting. …

People who are trying to regulate AI out of this doomsday fear from having watched the Terminator movies one too many times, they’re regulating the free exercise of mathematics.

This is completely innumerate people, which is the modern version of illiteracy, who literally do not know how anything works.

They don’t know how the computer works. They don’t understand mathematics. They’re scared of it. These are the same kids who were scared of math in high school.

They’re now writing regulations to prevent other kids from doing math that are actually going to make the human race better off.

If you limit computers and computation, you have literally removed the last source of innovation that we have in our society.

You’re freezing us in place.
