Without a doubt, Google-style search results will be replaced by intelligent agents that allow you to clarify, refine, and follow up on your intent. Search queries like we do today will be a curious footnote. #GPT-3
Before Chat-GPT, I had Pippin—my personal AI assistant. I used it all the time. Chat-GPT today is generally more capable, but Pippin never wasted my time with long-winded answers and endless caveats and disclaimers.
No one remembers the Old Gods anymore. This same stunt was pulled years ago: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_…
Mehran’s Steak House was just a name, created as an in-joke. But when its waiting list drew hundreds, the pranksters decided to stage dinner — for one night only. nyti.ms/3PV1v2U
I had Midjourney generate stills from four famous Coen Brothers films…
The results really got me thinking about how much AI models both reflect and reduce pop culture but also—unsettlingly—may filter everything else out…

ALT still from the movie "Raising Arizona"
And then there's "Hudsucker". Delightful story or a SciFi horror? Clearly MJ has no data or clue.
As AI tools become bigger parts of our lives, I wonder about the other "Hudsuckers" in our culture & history that may vanish through an AI filter—how that diminishes us all.

ALT Nightmare fuel. And NOT stills from "The Hudsucker Proxy."
Perhaps it really should be said as "Learn, Build, Measure" to emphasize that the key function is *learning* if you want to be effective.🤷♂️

If the Vision Pro can actually interact with the environment in novel ways, then we're on to something (eg use this wall color, point to the 'x' in the room, etc). But right now it seems the environment is truly just window dressing and non-interactive, which is disconcerting.
Vision Pro looks sweet. However the core problem it appears to solve is: "I don't have enough space for monitors." The other features are largely objection-handling for wearing a VR headset.
So, it's basically competing with laptop monitor extenders which are 10x cheaper. Hrmm.🤷♂️
