- The author reflects on Steve Jobs' 1983 speech at the International Design Conference, where Jobs criticized top designers for focusing on cars and buildings while ignoring the upcoming new object in human lives: computers. Jobs predicted that people would spend hours a day interacting with computers, turning them from mere tools into an environment covering work, education, and home. The author uses this as a metaphor for the current AI wave: models are shipping regardless of whether they make people sharper or duller. This time, the object reshaping human environment isn't plastic or glass, but language, which sits directly inside the act of thinking. — r0ck3t23 · 2026-08-05
