Post-Interface Design – A manifesto on the abolition of UI

This is a tight, provocative read that stitches decades of HCI thought (Weiser, Norman, Calm Tech) to today’s LLM/agent capabilities and pushes a surprising thesis: chatbots are transitional and 'Silence' should be the goal. The 'Serendipity Deficit' is a useful frame, but the site stays mostly at manifesto level — it needs concrete patterns, privacy-safe system sketches, or example agent behaviors to convince skeptical practitioners.
