“As AI accelerates threat complexity and the attack surface grows by the second, staying ahead isn’t optional” - correct. We are like the Aztecs encountering smallpox.
I think it’s less about companies believing there’s a better interface than the smartphone — and more about hoping one emerges. Otherwise, Meta, OpenAI, and others will be stuck competing with hardware providers for control over the user relationship.
On the agent point, there’s a lot of truth to that: planning a vacation is nice. However, buying ketchup and paper towels is not, and that's where agents can help. The fact that they still aren’t ready to handle even simple tasks is a whole other issue.

Agreed, I don't think agentic is going to be the solution to travel, but I do think that AI agents are going to help the renaissance of travel agents. Shopping for travel is not as much fun as shopping in a real store which is much more interactive. https://martinsoler.substack.com/i/165767013/ai-isnt-the-end-of-travel-agents-its-their-industrial-revolution
