    I really didn’t understand his argument. How do LLMs replace a networked operating environment and all its APIs? There has to be some application protocol to communicate between the two systems. Is he really just arguing for open standards?

      No one understands it because it makes no sense. Because he’s lying. They remove it so you have to pay for their proprietary services, just like GM.

      This is highly appealing to automakers, of course, because it gives them more control over the customer experience, which every automaker with a marketing budget (that’s all of them) is finding more and more opportunities to exploit, whether via subscriptions, integrated e-commerce, or straight-up ads

      no no, every car has its own standards, interfaces and api. Everytime you connect your phone, it will use an LLM to figure this out and map it to your phone.

        Yeah, it’s just another way of saying they’re building their own proprietary system (likely with a paid subscription) that has all the same things under the hood, but with an AI front end that is controlled by voice commands. GM is already doing that (the proprietary system part). My Subaru’s basic functions like A/C can already be controlled by voice command. This is just extending it to entertainment and navigation controls with AI bullshit on top.

        /s Thank goodness all APIs are perfectly documented so a slopbot can figure it out (every time), and build a ui on the fly, and not brick everything. 🙄
