Nothing CEO Says Apps Will Disappear

Carl Pei, founder of Nothing, stood on stage at SXSW and declared with a straight face that apps are going to disappear thanks to AI. This is the same man whose entire business revolves around selling smartphones — devices whose primary function is running applications. It's the tech equivalent of a tobacco executive announcing cigarettes will be replaced by good vibes. The phone industry has officially reached peak delusion: a CEO whose product depends on the very thing he claims is obsolete.
