"In an agentic world, the OS needs to be completely rethought" - if AI is progressing as fast as we think it is, I don't think we'll be interested in waiting for the world to rebuild all the legacy tooling from the OS up. For new stuff, that'd be great.

I imagine the AIs will get a lot better at intercepting things at an intermediate level - API calls under the hood, etc. Probably much better (and cheaper) vision abilities, and perhaps even deeper integration into the machine code itself. It's really hard to anticipate what an advanced model will be capable of 5 years from now.



Maybe not the same approach, but start with a kernel that acts as a governed membrane for everything else?

Worse is better. My bet is we'll still be running primarily Linux based servers 25 years from now.
