The year is 2032, tokens became so expensive that companies had to fire everyone to afford them. Computer hardware is so expensive that nobody owns a computer anymore. Companies are building software for hardware that nobody owns. AI becomes the only consumer of AI.

Apple I am begging you to add multi language support to Siri with AirPods. I can’t take another German sentence read out with English pronunciation.
