All roads lead back to the iPhone.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman might have hinted at this user experience change. In an X post shared before Kuo’s report, Altman said that it “feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems and user interfaces are designed” and “(also the internet; there should be a protocol that is equally usable by people and agents).”
“Only by fully controlling both the operating system and hardware can OpenAI deliver a comprehensive AI agent service,” writes Kuo.
That comment about updating the internet’s protocol really feels like a buried lede.
Yeah “updating the internet’s protocol” reads to me as “make it impossible for 99% of people to have any control over it”
