    Why are companies slapping "OS" in their product naming? it's stupid

      I think because the idea of an "agent operating system" is starting to feel more and more inevitable. Since I can use AI to:

        - Pull information from external sources
  - Transform and/or augment that information
  - Publish information
      I almost do not need a traditional OS anymore. This obviously isn't entirely true: I still use it to interact directly with humans, and it's the way I access my LLM. For now.

        smells like lock-in to me.

          I'm not advocating for this model. But I'm also not sure it has any more lock-in than choosing an OS today: Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, iOS.
