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.
And I know folks have kind of mentioned this in the past, but I think we're really seeing it kind of all come together now with these five key things.

You need some visual interface. I think the question is, where is the visual interface? Is it in the wall?

Well, when you're asking, I want to watch Chamath on Rogan. I don't just want to hear, I want to see. When I want to visualize stuff, I want to visualize it. I want to look at the food I'm buying online. I want to look at pictures of the restaurant I'm going to go to.

If you think about like, so take the constraints on, I don't need a keyboard because I'm not gonna be typing stuff. I don't need a normal browser interface. You could see a device come out that's almost like smaller than the palm of your hand that gives you enough of the visuals and all it is is a screen with maybe two buttons on the side. And it's all audio driven.

You put a headset in and you're basically just talking or using gesture or looking at it to kind of describe where you want things to go. And it can create an entirely new computing interface because AI does all of these incredible things with predictive text, with gesture control, with eye control, and with audio control.

And then it can just give you what you want on a screen and all you're getting is a simple interface. So Chamath, you may be right. It might be a big watch or a handheld thing that's much smaller than an iPhone. And just all it is is a screen with nothing.

I think social fabric's more affected by people staring at their phones all the time. You sit on a bus, you sit at a restaurant, you go to dinner with someone and they're staring at their phone. Like spouses, friends, we all deal with it where you feel like you're not getting attention from the person that you're interfacing with in the real world because they're so connected to the phone.

If we can disconnect the phone, but still take away this kind of addictive feedback loop system, but still give you this computing ability in a more ambient way that allows you to remain engaged in the physical world. I think everyone would feel a lot better about it. You could say it.

And that's the opportunity. If you guys play with Apple Vision Pro, have any of you actually used it to any extent? No, I used it for a day.

Right, which I get, but I do think that it has these tools in it, similar to the original Macintosh had these incredible graphics editors like MacPaint and all these things that people didn't get addicted to at the time, but they became this tool that completely revolutionized everything in computing later. and fonts and so on.
