Mike Koenigs argues the next iPhone-scale platform is coming from AI and will be unsettling at first. He walks through five scary AI developments and their impact on the largest industries by revenue, using Steve Jobs' resistance to the iPhone as a parallel for how disruptive replacements happen.
I am here to say I think the next iPhone is happening. And if you think what happened with the smartwatch was big, this is.
Infinity times bigger. And as an as a result, it will be a little terrifying at first, especially if you spend some time going down a couple of rabbit holes that I'm going to share, and it's what AI is doing. So I'm going to just rattle off a couple things, and then the destination we'll get to are the industries, the biggest industries by revenue and how it's going to affect those.
Just a little backdrop on the Steve Jobs and the iPhone, he was totally opposed to the iPhone because he loved the ipod. The convincing argument was his designer said, you have a choice. Somebody else is going to kill the ipod, or you're going to kill the ipod because it's gone. And you'll kill it, but you'll have a replacement.
