    Everything you mentioned either exists right now or can essentially happen with today’s tech.

    Speak to the TV? Possible right now. But you probably would still prefer talking through its remote. The distance factor is a problem. You don’t want to be yelling into its mic from 8-10 feet away. Of course, it could be possible for the TV to support a wireless external mic port — but then of course you’re not really talking “to the TV” anymore. Better to have the mic close by your mouth. Which brings us to…

    Speak to the remote? check. (Apple TV, Roku Ultra, etc.)

    Speak to some other device you’re watching? Check. (PC with microphone and digital assistant / voice control, or….iPhone or Android phone, for that matter.)

    AI analyzing the content of live video information from a camera? Check. ChatGPT can do that, as well as others.

    What I’m saying is that we’re already there. The remote that I described can essentially be done today, if anyone wanted to build it.

    “Oh My Cat! What if your overweight guest is sitting on it???”

    Then you get a more entertaining punchline than whatever you were about to watch would ever give you.

    Somebody will probably soon invent an AI remote control that can tell you where it is. You say something like “Remote, where are you?” and it’s listening for that key word or phrase. When it hears it, it activates its camera. The AI analyzes the view from the camera and describes it to you with its voice function. “I appear to be under a white cushion.”

    Speech balloons seem to be pretty messed up. I think it’s supposed to be:

    Off-camera to left “Thirty Days, Half December” is actually Verla.

    “Thirty Days and November” is Joy’s response.

    “Very Good, Joy” is Ma’s comment.

    “Of What?” is Burl talking to Ma.

    You just wonder how blown away Calvin would be today by Atlas, Spot, Figure 02, and Unitree H1.

    I believe that they’re talking on the speakerphone that’s on the table between them.

    Well, that potential revenue stream evaporated quickly.

    It’s essentially a result of corporate people inventing a new language that they think sounds intelligent and “upper-management,” while in reality it is just stupid and needlessly wordy and convoluted.

    My current pet peeve is “crosswalk” as a verb. “We need to crosswalk our labor estimates to our list of proposed contract costs.” I once proposed jaywalking our data instead, with the most dead serious face I could muster.
