The Best Interface is Outdoors, It's Nature!
Depending on where you live, summer has likely ended (most readers of English sites are in the northern hemisphere), which means people still have some moments (days, maybe weeks, not months) to enjoy warm spells outside the home.
A lot of hype has captured the pages of bribed "media" (marketing disguised as news) and the utter failure of Apple Vision Pro and Facebook's "metaverse" (misnomer!) is revealing. They turned out to be no better substitute for reality than LLMs proved to be a replacement for interactions with actual humans.
When it comes to music, for lack of a better analogy, the best music is still instruments (e.g. this arrangement of the late Ennio Morricone) and human voice as in vocal chords, not some digital signals in a studio with electronic drums. Sure, it's a lot more expensive to assemble 100 specialists and hundreds of life-long trained vocalists, then rehearse with them a lot for a 3-minute performance, but if quality is the goal, there's no other way. Today's music is almost the LLM equivalent of music, never mind if some people generate derivatives of existing music, even rap.
When it comes to reality, nothing beats nature. A bee or a wasp is a lot more sophisticated (also vastly more complicated) than the finest semi-conductors, which lack self-healing, reproduction, adaptive consciousness etc.
Not everything should be replaced by or emulated by digital devices. Not everything needs to, but never before did consumerism become an alternate reality which redefines wants and requirements. And no, you probably do not need a mobile phone and a social control media account (in any site or platform or network).
Computers are fantastic for particular tasks (such as writing and then arranging complex, long, evolving documents), but quit listening to maximalists and zealots who insist a person is not your friend or cannot qualify as one until you tick some box in a front-end Web interface of Mark Zuckerberg (and US spies') vast database with global social graphs. Stop trying to quantify everything, such as "likes"; you're not a machine or a mathematical instrument, you're a living thing like a bee or a wasp. █
