Steve Jobs predicted in 1983 that someday you could 'ask a machine' what…

Brief

Steve Jobs' 1983 prediction that a machine could answer what Aristotle would've said is cited to claim that, 43 years later, voice-first agents like @viktor_com now execute tasks from a single spoken sentence—splitting work across three teams—and offer $100 trial credits; Fryd Wiatrowski's Project Deskless demos a physical-button, no-look voice interface intended for driving.

Key details

@viktor_com is presented as an example that, from 'one messy sentence spoken out loud,' executes work and splits it 'across three teams' before you put your phone down; the post notes a $100 free credits trial.

Fryd Wiatrowski's Project Deskless demo promotes a physical-button, voice-first interface—'Press a physical button. Say what you want.'—designed for no-looking, no-tapping operation and use while driving.

Steve Jobs basically predicted the exact world we live in today... back in 1983

"the problem was you can't ask Aristotle a question... someday after the person's dead and gone we can ask a machine: hey, what would Aristotle have said, and maybe it will get it right"

43 years later, the machine doesn't just answer anymore, you tell it what you need done and it gets done

no app, no typing, just one messy sentence spoken out loud, and the work is already split across three teams before you've put your phone down

that's @viktor_com, it does the rest (you get $100 free credits to try it out)
