Next generation of OS should have constant video and audio recognition by on device LLM. This will provide valuable context for a lot of scenarios. So instead of frequent copy-pasting we are used to, we can let agents access context of our whole workflows from different apps.
But Google is a very ill positioned candidate for such OS. I would rather trust Apple and local-first on-device models.
Next generation OS should absolutely -not- have always-on surveillance like you describe.
why not? if context stays on device and operator is in full control, what downsides are there? there is no observer here, only operator and full context of his activity at his fingers
It's not surveillance if it's on-device.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance
>Sousveillance (/suːˈveɪləns/ soo-VAY-lənss) is the recording of an activity by a member of the public, rather than a person or organisation in authority, typically by way of small wearable or portable personal technologies.[14] The term, coined by Steve Mann,[15] stems from the contrasting French words sur, meaning "above", and sous, meaning "below", i.e. "surveillance" denotes the "eye in the sky" watching from above, whereas "sousveillance" denotes bringing the means of observation down to human level, either physically (by mounting cameras on people rather than on buildings) or hierarchically (with ordinary people observing, rather than by higher authorities or by architectural means).[16][17][23]
