Qualcomm’s CEO is working with ‘pretty much all’ major AI players on top-secret devices (fortune.com)

“There are some secret form factors that I cannot tell you about,” the Qualcomm CEO said in an interview with Fortune Editor in Chief Alyson Shontell on the Titans and Disruptors of Industry podcast. “But I think we’re working with pretty much all of them.”

“Pretty much all of them,” in this case, means the AI companies racing to build the device that replaces the smartphone. OpenAI, Meta, and others that Amon declined to name in an interview from the company’s San Diego headquarters. This device won’t be something you can hold; it’ll be “things you wear”: glasses, jewelry, pins, pendants. And it’ll center on the idea that the center of digital life will no longer be a phone but an autonomous agent.

Am I the only one that doesn't have enough going on in their life that can be automated by agenetic AI? I mean, if I had an AI-powered robot that can do my cooking and cleaning that would be helpful, but other than that I just don't have anything for it to do.

It would be great if new AI and robotics is used to grow food and make clothes from scratch to save a lot of money long term.

We’re waiting for clothes patents on robots to expire just like 3d printing patents expired. Only then will we see a boom.

I could honestly use a setup playing the role of personal assistant so I don't over schedule and stretch myself too thin on stuff. A few of my friends have created very effective setups for just that, but I have lacked the bandwidth to figure out how to replicate for quite a while now....because of aforementioned need for a scheduling helper. :(

I feel like an app from the 90's with zero AI in it plus text to speech interface can cover this base. Just because a lot of software is crummy doesn't mean it has to be. Let's not forget that getting an LLM to do a thing, instead of conventional software, always uses dramatically, often hundreds of times more system resources and power.

I feel like using an LLM to organize your calendar is like getting an interplanetary orbital space laser to kill a fly.
