Mark Weiser gets it. He understands exactly why the current gen AI/LLM moment is so frustrating to me. We should be building better software, not creating more software to control our existing mid software for us.

For example: being alerted of a potential collision

• agent: “collision, collision, go right and down”
• ubicomp: background presentation of airspace information for continuous spatial awareness, as in everyday life. You’ll no more run into another airplane than you would try to walk through a wall.

Damn; he’s even anti-racist:

It obsessively fascinates

• the human-like machine to which we give life
• the perfect, all-powerful, slave
• be careful when appealing to ancient prejudice

Funny how Litt takes away a totally different message from this slide deck than I do.
