Tate Hacker predicts everyone will use a full-time compute assistant within a year

Tate Hacker predicts that everyone will be using a full-time “assistant of compute” like Instinct’s personal agent within a year. Nearby context describes personal agents for tasks such as commerce and flight booking, and says the agent already has essentially a computer, phone number and email.

The remark also refers to a parking ticket and a car Instinct took care of, but does not specify exactly what Instinct did.
