There is a lot of wisdom in this for system design. Predict less. Observe more. Build what reality proves you need.

When in doubt go for a long walk. Works every damn time.

People are sleeping on this. Apps are an UX for humans, just like a webpage was, a bank teller, a phone book, etc. In a soon to be future the new UX will be voice/text input to an agent. This will blow up once everyone wakes up to how intuitive and frictionless this will be. Apple will be a major driver on this. There is still a place for native apps for content and social, but transactional UX will change. Stripe and other players in transactions are already gearing up for this. I think this will happen quicker that we think. Friction is a great barrier, and if it is removed behavior will change quickly.

keep it simple, simple scales. don’t misstake simple for easy.

Yep. Perception itself is largely prediction based on a continuously updated world model simulated inside the brain. The interesting part is that the loop is not passive observation. It is active inference through interaction with the environment.

Perception across vision, audio, locomotion, temperature, and location. Combined with the personal context only Apple has, much of it processed locally on-device and encrypted. This is the beginning of persistent personal world models at consumer scale.
