[A.I. Could Make the Smartphone Passé. What Comes Next?](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/technology/personaltech/ai-iphones-android-smartphones.html?unlocked_article_code=1.nk8._yn1.xG-w7vG657G3&smid=url-share)

Article 1 is from the New York Times, basically saying "Hey, smartphones are dead, AI is taking over everything." We're talking smart glasses that watch everything you do, AI pendants that record every conversation, ambient computing with microphones in every room. The whole premise is that AI assistants will just... do everything for us. No more apps, no more interfaces - just tell your AI what you want and it handles it. Apple, Meta, Google, Amazon - they're all betting big on this future where we essentially give up control to our digital assistants.

[Remember When Things Were Better in the ’90s? A.I. Does Too.](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/style/ai-nostalgia-tiktok-90s-80s.html?unlocked_article_code=1.nk8.ZyGW.59cCAt0MCt1V&smid=url-share)
|
||
|
||
Article 2 is about how AI is creating this massive nostalgia wave for the '80s and '90s - except it's all fake. We're talking AI-generated videos of teenagers from 1995 telling us how much better life was before the internet, before smartphones, before social media. And here's the kicker - these videos are getting millions of views from people who weren't even alive in the '90s! They're literally creating false memories of a past that never existed.
|
||
|
||
The connection is bonkers: The same technology that's promising to control our future is simultaneously creating fake memories of a "better" past. People are so fed up with current tech that they're embracing AI-generated lies about how great things used to be, while tech companies use that same AI to build an even more invasive future. More later.
