A long quote frames the future of computing as an AI OS:
- The author argues that the old reason for command lines and GUIs was that computers were too dumb to understand humans.
- In the new model, humans should boot directly into intelligence, not into Windows, macOS, Linux, or other traditional OSes.
- The quoted experiment claims a prototype that can run on 5-year-old hardware, including an ASUS laptop with 4 GB of RAM and an 8 GB USB stick.
- A new prototype “minimal AI-based OS computer” is reportedly already being built.
