There’s a very specific reason the tech giants are suddenly racing to get AI running locally on your phone, watch, and smart glasses.
The traditional Operating System (OS) is quietly being retired. Soon, the OS as you know it will be replaced entirely by an omnipresent AI hub.
But if the OS becomes an AI, what happens to that grid of static apps we rely on every day? And when the friction of swiping and searching disappears, how does the underlying economy of the Internet shift?
In my latest piece, I explore what happens next: the death of the app, the rise of dynamic AI “Sparks,” and a hidden token economy where your device doesn’t just cost you money—it generates it.
Want a glimpse at what your digital life looks like when you stop swiping and start orchestrating?
I have been on a breathtaking journey, for decades I have been watching how we connect with the world and each other. If you’ve been around tech long enough, you remember the humble hum of single twisted-pair copper wires, and the sheer, brick-like weight of early cell phones. Fast forward to today, and we are streaming the entirety of human knowledge over millimeter-wave antennas onto super-thin slabs of glass in our pockets.
