They had no money, no purpose, nothing.

They had a lot of time on their hands.

The less people actually did physical work, the more they wanted to appear as if they did.

What if we could use the energy of humans to power the machines that took away their jobs?

And your need for purpose.

Sure.

So one of the biggest stories from today is Perplexity releasing their computer.

That's what they call it.

It's their computer.

It's their computer use.

Essentially, it's 19 agents that can do things on your computer, that can take over, that can work for hours, maybe days.

maybe months, right?

So perplexity is not reluctant to go for the hyperbole.

But also it seems like everybody, this is part of a pattern where people are releasing more and more, like give your AI a job and it can do it on your computer in all kinds of ways.

What we used to refer to as macros that were not really great.

But yeah, what I found interesting, and I don't know if you can pull it up, but the place where you go on Perplexity to see this is like animated splash page kind of stuff.

And it was really interesting because that's the kind of thing.

that I think would confuse the crap out of a computer usage AI that was trying to find what was happening, but everything is flying all over the place and things look like you could click them, but they're not obvious.

So that was just a little disconnect, I thought, for me looking at it.

Yes.
