Was going thru old boxes today and found my Samsung Gear S watch/phone. Before the cellular Apple Watch, this was the move… dang near replaced all but the camera too. We’ve not really gotten too much further. Yet. Would have been great to push Samsung further

Reminds me some of the watchface I recently added to my Apple Watch. But the circular feels of this, it’s sporty but not harsh… This I’d wear… maybe with a olive green band though

@minafahmi @sandbar Ooh, that gold does look nice

team just got gold hardware working. it's finally time... to dual wield ⚔️

@BrianRoemmele Arguably, bacteria/viri use us as robots to get around, so this kinda tracks

Not AI… Many mammals will have thier own robots.

@signulll When I read this post the 1st time, echoes of what Humane’s folks echoed. Reading it again, it’s a bit louder, along with what Rabbit’s founder marketed initially. Augmented humane computing is expressed a lot but am not sure we’ve got the imagination to better, yet

the craziest part now is that the modern computer probably has to be entirely reinvented, from scratch. pretty much like how jobs & co brought apple ii to market. like not improved. not given a chatbot sidebar or something but really from the ground up like the iphone redefined what it meant to be a pocket computer. the current paradigm for computers was built around a human staring at a screen, moving a cursor, opening apps, managing windows, naming files, remembering where things live, & manually translating intent into interface actions. that made sense when the human was the runtime. but in an ai native world, it starts to look kinda ridiculous. you can see this ridiculousness when you use computer use agents… they are useful sure, but they’re also obviously transitional. they’re teaching ai to operate machines designed for humans, which is clever, but also kind of absurd. it’s like making a robot hand so it can use a doorknob instead of asking why the door needs a knob at all. yes i know humans also need to use a door knob, but maybe in the future humans don’t need to use a computer, or at least what we think of a computer today at all. this all leads to some interesting questions: - what is a file when the system understands context? - what is an app when intent can route itself? - what is a desktop when work can be decomposed, executed, monitored, & summarized by agents? - what is a browser when the agent can retrieve, compare, transact, & remember? - what is an operating system when the primary user is no longer just a person, but a person plus a swarm of delegated intelligences? or no person at all. the old computer assumed navigation. the new computer has to assume a new kind of intention. the old computer organized information. the new computer has to try to organize agency. we’re still in the hacky middle stage at the moment with sidebars, copilots, agents clicking through legacy ui, & automation layers sitting on top of 40 year old metaphors. the new computer is likely one where memory, context, identity, permissions, tools, agents, & interfaces are native primitives. this means desktop, mobile, browser, apps, files, folders deserves another first principles look.

Enchanted objects… …makes sense

On an accidental tyranny of programmers holding back interface invention, from my recent talk: andymatuschak.org/tat/

Made a tweak to go with scribbles instead of dictation/typed on the notepad, and yea, it’s better… …do I lose the “ease” of LLM analysis? Yep. But that wasn’t the point of this. …do I gain a more sticky memory of some client interactions? Yep Unfolding more later

Ok, now that’s cool *and I’m not even a watch guy

This is actually pretty cool. Love the history behind it.

Here's my update to the broader community about the ongoing incident investigation. I want to give you the rundown of the situation directly. A Vercel employee got compromised via the breach of an AI platform customer called Context.ai that he was using. The details are being fully investigated. Through a series of maneuvers that escalated from our colleague’s compromised Vercel Google Workspace account, the attacker got further access to Vercel environments. Vercel stores all customer environment variables fully encrypted at rest. We have numerous defense-in-depth mechanisms to protect core systems and customer data. We do have a capability however to designate environment variables as “non-sensitive”. Unfortunately, the attacker got further access through their enumeration. We believe the attacking group to be highly sophisticated and, I strongly suspect, significantly accelerated by AI. They moved with surprising velocity and in-depth understanding of Vercel. At the moment, we believe the number of customers with security impact to be quite limited. We’ve reached out with utmost priority to the ones we have concerns about. All of our focus right now is on investigation, communication to customers, enhancement of security measures, and sanitization of our environments. We’ve deployed extensive protection measures and monitoring. We’ve analyzed our supply chain, ensuring Next.js, Turbopack, and our many open source projects remain safe for our community. The recommendation for all Vercel customers is to follow the Security Bulletin closely (vercel.com/kb/bulletin/ve…). My advice to everyone is to follow the best practices of security response: secret rotation, monitoring access to your Vercel environments and linked services, and ensuring the proper use of the sensitive env variables feature. In response to this, and to aid in the improvement of all of our customers’ security postures, we’ve already rolled out new capabilities in the dashboard, including an overview page of environment variables, and a better user interface for sensitive env var creation and management. As always, I’m totally open to your feedback. We’re working with elite cybersecurity firms, industry peers, and law enforcement. We’ve reached out to Context to assist in understanding the full scale of the incident, in an effort to protect other organizations and the broader internet. I also want to thank the Google Mandiant team for their active engagement and assistance. It’s my mission to turn this attack into the most formidable security response imaginable. It’s always been a top priority for me. Vercel employs some of the most dedicated security researchers and security-minded engineers in the world. I commit to keeping you updated and rolling out extensive improvements and defenses so you, our customers and community, can have the peace of mind that Vercel always has your back.

Next… …to design and release the tablet… the one that’s been spoken of… To put that thing out there that’s truly the manifestation of that “deep work paradigm” and that “smarter canvas” exploration …to then elevate things beyond, yet next to what is very familiar ✍🏾

@Scobleizer Heh, I was t that far from you at CES that day. Was writing for a mobile tech website at the time and literally wanted the “view from Nokia’s lens.” In light of that, your note on BCI is interesting. Not dismissing, but also… chewing

Do you remember where you were when Steve Jobs announced the iPhone? I do, was hanging out with Nokia's CEO at CES. In 30 years humans will look back at this day as the day when the singularity began. When I tell everyday people that they will soon have a BCI they look at me like I have lost my mind. @sabicap might not be the one that gets them to adopt. It might be like the Newton that came a decade before the iPhone. Rarely the first is the one that sticks with consumers. All I know is that nerds like me will get it (I already signed up to get one). And if it works we will tell you about the super powers. And then the cycle will repeat. Devices like this will bring us super powers. Especially when paired with a pair of AI-driven glasses. And with a bunch of robots. "Thinking to my Optimus that I'd like a Diet Coke please." It represents a paradigm shift. One that my kids will see fully expressed decades from now. Like when the Apple II showed up in my life in 1977. That wasn't hyper popular either. Woz and Jobs had to start their company because HP told them five times that no one would buy a personal computer. The hate for BCIs is even higher than it is for AI, which is saying something. And they only can work because of AI, which increases the hate. But I've been through this quite a few times. Mark this day. This was the most important thing announced today and you were alive to see it. Even if it turns out to be a failure. Oh, and if you want to see the future you should hang out with @vkhosla. He sees these things first. I was in his office right after he saw another BCI company. I wish I could hang out there every day.

This is neat… …yep, now I’ve really gotta figure out how to have my Frame/Halo glasses do similar

This… 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@eddiejiao_obj Makes me ask, “have I been… am I successful?” Because I a, that man. Have been since the 1st gen iPad. …and her there’s not been as many solid pieces of software to make that bridge for others. Should I have designed/built more? Perhaps. Or rather, was the iPad meant for a few

I still think about this tweet sometimes x.com/ndrewpignanell…

At @cmmnknwledge, we’ve been building a new stylus-first tool for doing work on your iPad. We’re looking for beta testers who’d like to try this out and shape this experience with us. Comment below to get in touch!
