HererCOs an interesting possibility for the future of smartphones <https://www.computerworld.com/article/4203560/how-ai-in-china-is-killing-smartphone-apps.html>:
get rid of apps, and just rely on the devicerCOs built-in rCLagenticrCY AI capabilities to get stuff done. Of course, they would be powerful
enough to do everything that an app might do, and more.

Would you call them rCLsmarterphonesrCY? Or perhaps rCLAI feature phonesrCY, since they go back to the old feature-phone model of just having the
built-in software and nothing more. And yet, of course, they are
capable of getting more done than a regular smartphone -- assuming the
AI works reliably enough.

And some of them might even be rCLrobot phonesrCY, where there are
physical components on the phone (like a high-definition camera on a
gimbal) that can be operated by the AI.

And then there are these coming rCLAI wearablesrCY ...

Why stop there? Get rid of cell phones, and just rely on people's
capabilities to get stuff done. Of course, they would be powerful enough
to do everything an app might do, and more. :-P

Hear me out, we stop wasting time making the computers understand us
better, and just make us understand the computers more. Then we don't need
to worry about the computer doing everything wrong correctly

I have an intradermal AI wearable in my head, does that count?

Presumably, it's actual "I" not "AI" in fact! To be fair, not all
models of human do however. Many models of human require an upgrades,
as best as I can tell.

So how do we embed resentment, feelings of inferiority and
shadenfreude in a neural net so that "AI" entities can can act
according to those influences in preference to acting based on fact or
"best practice"?

Oh, wait! Since the weights in the NN matrices on which "AI" funtions
are probabalistic inferences from Everything That Has Been Said on the Internet, how do we ensure that such embedding *doesn't* happen
invisibly?

If we could do that, the software models would be better behaved than
the wetware models we've got lurching around in real life ...

Well, Elon's Grok has already declared himself Mecha-H*tl*r so I
suppose it's too late. Also suggests Usenet posts have been
incorporated into someone's LLM. [1]

Do they block rCLShicklgruberrCY?
