Computing as we know it now, will likely in a decade be much like the manual car in much of the world. Only of niche value, and purists are the only ones who use it, and they’re nearly impossible to find now.

Most computers will simply be an online-only (subscription based, of course) “terminal” with a search box, that you type in and ask an llm what to do for you (“microslop, please get the photo of my cat i took a year ago and make a backup copy to this hard drive” will be the extent of computing for 99% of people).

Just like manual cars, the enthusiasts and old school folks will hang on to them, until they are all gone and no longer relevant.

Sad but I am absolutely certain I am right.

    I honestly don’t believe there is much of a future for mankind at this point, but if there is any I imagine it looking more like a Mad Max movie instead of a subscription based computer with an LLM prompt.
