Simular’s AI Agent Wants to Run Your Damn Computer for You

Oh great, another bloody “AI assistant” that wants to take over your life. This time it’s from some startup called Simular that’s apparently decided you’re too much of a lazy sack of meat to click your own damn mouse. They just dropped their shiny new AI agent for macOS — because of course they did — and raised a smug $21.5 million from Felicis to make sure it can screw with your computer in new and exciting ways. Windows users, don’t cry — your turn to have your system commandeered by digital sorcery is “coming soon.”

The thing basically sits on your Mac, scuttling around pretending to “help” by running apps and automating tasks. You know, the same crap you could do yourself in about four seconds — only now there’s a chance it’ll misclick, delete something important, and then tell you it’s “learning.” Simular thinks it’s the future of work — I think it’s the future of screaming into your monitor while your AI “assistant” schedules a meeting with your ex and calls your boss “bro.”

Anyway, investors are tossing money at it like they’ve never seen an AI pitch before — because “automation” still gives them that weird VC arousal. If you ever dreamed of watching your Mac operate itself while you sit there questioning your own obsolescence, congratulations, the nightmare has arrived. And when it hits Windows, I’m sure it’ll spend half its time rebooting for updates and the other half begging for permission to do basic shit.

Reminds me of that time some genius intern “optimized” the backup script and managed to back up an empty directory over the real data. When I asked why, he said the computer told him it was fine. And that, folks, is how Skynet wins.
