So the future of computing really is AI agents doing everything: - siri text chat now on the lock screen - incoming a billion developer app functions/APIs - better notifications - can make network requests Why even open any other app?

>> - incoming a billion developer app functions/APIs That would be cool, but the App Intents API is severely crippled. Only a few hardcoded use cases are supported. So any _real agent_ which has full access to all Apps can still blow Siri out of the water.

The year is 2040. I pick up my iPhone. I ask Siri Pro to be entertained. She makes me a mix of Instagram Reels, TikToks, Youtube Shorts and Netflix trailers, not only handpicked for me, but each of those re-cut and re-edited to match my tastes. When I ask Siri Pro what I'm doing on the weekend, she plans a dinner with a mix of friends and compatible strangers. Any restaurant is fine: the food is going to be personalized anyway.

  I hope 2040 iPhone will be able to not start playing fucking music every time when I sit in a car.

> Why even open any other app? This was my first thought when I saw Rabbit r1 - will all of us become backend developers just glueing various API between legacy services and LLMs? Today seems like another step in that direction.

  The whole world will be headless content. There won't be any web pages, or bank sites, or TV networks. Nobody will be a developer. We'll all just be content authors, like Google Maps Guides basically being unpaid interns checking restaurant data for Google. You open your phone, it just shovels content. And it does absolutely nothing but optimize on addiction. No apps, only masters.

Nobody is realizing this coming singularity. Your phone won't do anything else. For 99% of people, they pick up their phone, AI will just decide what they want to see. And most will accept it. Someday everyone in the room will all pick up their phones when they all ring at once. It will be some emotional trigger like a live feed from a school shooting. Everyone in the room will start screaming at the totally different experiences they're being presented. Evil liberals, clueless law enforcement, product placement being shown over the shooter's gun. You'll sit horrified because you returned to a dumbphone to escape. That will be the reality if this AI assistant stuff isn't checked hard now. AI is getting better at addiction an order of magnitude faster than it's getting better at actual tasks.

  Not necessarily, that entirely depends on the reward function being used, but I get your point.
