The same is true of biological security. 213444

Reposted by Shefaly Yogendra, PhDDare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 08/12/2024I read two essays on how AR devices will reshape user interfaces. Both argue traditional PC and smartphone UIs need rethinking, with generative AI playing a key role. I believe Voice-based UIs combined with device’s ability to “see” what you see could be as game-changing as GPS was for the iPhone. 4181
