Signature checks out, at least.

In this world, AI will have a massively-negative carbon footprint, as it eliminates the need for billions of vehicle trips per year.

... is that regardless of how you personally feel about AI and LLMs, one consequences of their arrival on the scene is that there is no longer any need to be afraid to try a new operating system. Even the most arcane Linux command lines, utilities, and operating procedures have been mastered by agentic LLMs at this point. Tell the LLM what you want your computer to do, and it will happen.

In fact, the choice of operating system really doesn't matter anymore, as long as what little legacy software you still need to run is available.

This will turn out to be a bigger deal than it looks like at first. If you're a kid (or anyone else) who wants to use a computer without mandatory accounts or age verification, go ahead and ditch Windows and MacOS in favor of whatever Linux or BSD variant looks good to you.

I would LOVE a .PDF reader with AI. Being able to highlight passages on web pages and click "Explain this" in Firefox has been great. It's annoying that the same feature isn't as handy when reading .PDF articles and scientific papers. For added bonus points, give me the option to have the AI modify the .PDF itself with clarifying notes and references.
