[BS] The Death of the Desktop
There’s something deeply wrong with how we “work” on computers. Why do we still sit in desks designed for typewriters?
TL;DR
- Today’s UI is still based on 1980s office metaphors
- “Work” no longer happens at desks — ideas strike in hammocks, cars, and showers
- LayerOS = infinite canvas, generative UI, conversational AI, asynchronous agents
- Paradigm shift: from sandboxed apps to intelligent, context-aware layers
- This isn’t about software—it’s about rethinking the foundation of computing
In this raw brainstream, I unpack the limitations of today’s UI and introduce LayerOS — a reimagined operating system where context flows, interfaces evolve, and work is ambient, not static. From infinite canvases to asynchronous assistants and generative UIs, this isn’t a product pitch — it’s a shift in the mental model of computing itself.
🚀 If you’ve ever wanted your OS to think with you instead of slowing you down, this one’s for you.
👉 Listen in and tell me what you think — where is work heading in your world?
