Well, I think it ties in a lot to the AI discussion because I think we're really witnessing this big shift from this big transition in computing, probably the biggest transition since mobile. You know, we moved from mainframes to desktop computers. Everyone had kind of this computer on their desktop, but you used a mouse and a keyboard to control it.

To mobile, where you had a keyboard and clicking and touching on the screen to do things on it. And now to what I would call this kind of ambient computing method. And, you know, I think the big difference is control and response. In directed computing, you're kind of telling the computer what to do. You're controlling it. You're using your mouse or your keyboard to go to this website.

So you type in a website address. Then you click on the thing that you want to click on. And you kind of keep doing a series of work to get the computer to go access the information that you ultimately want to achieve your objective. But with ambient computing, you can more kind of cleanly state your objective without this kind of directive process. You can say, hey, I...

I want to have dinner in New York next Thursday at a Michelin star restaurant at 5.30. Book me something and it's done. And I think that there are kind of five core things that are needed for this to work, both in control and response. It's voice control, gesture control, and eye control are kind of the control pieces that replace, you know, mice and clicking and touching and keyboards.

And then response is audio and kind of integrated visual. which is the idea of the goggles. Voice control works. Have you guys used the OpenAI voice control system lately? I mean, it is really incredible. I had my earphones in and I was like doing this exercise. I was trying to learn something. So I told OpenAI to start quizzing me on this thing. And I just did a 30 minute walk.

And while I was walking, it was asking me quiz questions and I would answer it and tell me I was right or wrong. It was really this incredible dialogue experience. So I think the voice controls there I don't know if you guys have used Apple Vision Pro, but gesture control is here today. You can do single finger movements with Apple Vision Pro. It triggers actions. And eye control is incredible.

You look at the letters you want to have kind of spelled out or you look at the thing you want to activate and it does it. So all of the control systems for this ambient computing are there.

And then the AI enables this kind of audio response where it speaks to you and the big breakthrough that's needed that I don't think we're quite there yet, but maybe Zuck is highlighting that we're almost there and Apple Vision Pro feels like it's almost there, except it's big and bulky and expensive is integrated visual where the ambient visual interface is always there and you can kind of engage with it.

So there's this big change. I don't think that mobile handsets are gonna be around in 10 years. I don't think we're gonna have this like phone in our pocket that we're like, pressing buttons on and touching and telling it where on the browser to go to, the browser interface is gonna go away.

I think so much of how computing is done, how we integrate with data in the world and how the computer ultimately fetches that data and does stuff with it for us is gonna completely change to this ambient model.

So I'm pretty excited about this evolution, but I think that what we're seeing with Zuck, what we saw with Apple Vision Pro and all of the OpenAI demos, they all kind of converge on this very incredible shift in computing. that will kind of become this ambient system that exists everywhere all the time.
