I'm super interested in this. I love like great new form factors of computing. And it feels like with every major technological advance, a new thing becomes possible. Phones are unbelievably good, so I think the threshold is very high here. I personally think an iPhone is the greatest piece of technology humanity has ever made. It's really a wonderful product. What comes after it? I don't know.

That was what I was saying. It's so good to get beyond it. I think the bar is quite high.

We've been discussing ideas, but I don't, like, if I knew.

Well, almost everyone's willing to pay for a phone anyway. So if you could, like, make a way cheaper device, I think the barrier to carry a second thing or use a second thing is pretty high. So I don't think, given that we're all willing to pay for phones, or most of us are, I don't think cheaper is the answer.

Probably, but the phone manufacturers are going to do that for sure. That doesn't necessitate a new device. I think you'd have to find some really different interaction paradigm that the technology enables. And if I knew what it was, I would be excited to be working on it right now.

We'll get that better. And I think voice is a hint to whatever the next thing is. If you can get voice interaction to be really good, it feels great. I think that feels like a different way to use a computer.

We are working on that. It's so clunky right now. It's slow. It's like kind of doesn't feel very smooth or authentic or organic. Like we'll get all that to be much better.

Super powerful to be able to like, the multimodality of saying like, hey, ChatGPT, what am I looking at? Or like, what kind of plant is this? I can't quite tell. That's another, I think, hint, but whether people want to wear glasses or hold up something when they want that,

There's a bunch of just like the sort of like societal interpersonal issues here are all very complicated about wearing a computer on your face.

I forgot about that. I forgot about that. So I think it's like.

I think what I want is just this always on like super low friction thing where I can... either by voice or by text or ideally like some other, it just kind of knows what I want, have this like constant thing helping me throughout my day that's got like as much context as possible. It's like the world's greatest assistant. And it's just this like thing working to make me better and better.
