Maybe I'm just old and grumpy, but I can't help shake that the real most dangerous thing about AGI/ASI is centralization of its power (if it is ever possibly achieved).

Everyone just fiend-ing for their version of it.

Would you rather your future overlords to be called "The Safe Company" or "The Open Company"?

Eh.

Apple is just racing to integrate AI into its current compute platform as fast possible.

OpenAI definitely believes a smart enough AI (AGI, ASI) will solve way bigger problems or create essentially a brand new compute platform.

Heck, ChatGPT as a lame LLM is almost its own compute platform already.

Apple is just speeding up people getting used to not needing apps and fancy devices vs simply communicating with an agent.

Who really will need Apple in 10-15 years if AI really does get good enough then?

So the future of computing really is AI agents doing everything:

- siri text chat now on the lock screen

- incoming a billion developer app functions/APIs

- better notifications

- can make network requests

Why even open any other app?

It was a very quick mention, but Siri will now have a text button directly on the lock screen.

If we assume AI will get even 3-4x better, at a certain point, I can't help but think this is the future of computing.

Most users on mobile won't even need to open other apps.

We really are headed for agents doing mostly everything for us.

Incredible that the UX is still generally the same. What a vision the original engineers had.

I am annoyed today though every time I open the app. The only time it has ever felt snappy on desktop was a sweet period when the MacBook Pro M1 first came out and Adobe Photoshop had a Silicon beta out.

Those days are long gone and we are slow again.

Objectively speaking (if people would be honest with themselves), both are just decent at best.

I think comparing them now is probably not that useful outside of this AI hype train. Like comparing two children. A lot can happen.

The bigger message I am getting from this is it's clear OpenAI won't have a super AI monopoly.

Seems like ImageFX, VideoFX (just a Google form and 3 demos), MusicFX, and TextFX at the links are down and not working.

Huge grammar error on front page too.

Obviously given enough time there will always be better models coming.

But I am not convinced it will be another GPT-4 moment. Seems like big focus on tacking together multi-modal clever tricks vs straight better intelligence AI.

Hope they prove me wrong!

I can't really imagine how integration with them would work.

I don't want to speak for the Muddy people, but I wager they probably think chat app is kind of miserable experience. This instead tries to have a superior offering of something cleaner, easier to visualize where things are, and then move that "slack/teams" type convo to specific comments and tasks.

The feature for sending messaging and posting comments to a tab is some pretty clever and creative UX. Seriously next level future stuff and congrats for just coming up with the concept.

I like that it's all timeline based. For my use case, we currently use Front email thread and then link to a Shared Dropbox where we post everything (including links to like a Google Doc or webpage). I think having chronological bookmarks like you do would be clearly better. I also know many people who use Google Groups and Google Doc to document progress too -- which I think would be insane / nightmare but teams do it. You all definitely would solve that automatically.

Couple other notes:

- Whenever I screenshare with a team or others I see 1000 bookmarks or tabs on their browser. I could not imagine the nightmare of how that would impact my workflow or the timeline. Trusting AI to clean stuff up or hunt is not for me.

- I can tell you all have been heads down blitzing (dog in video, phone ringing in background of another) but I think a separate "Solutions" page where you tackle specific examples would be nice to see or browse.

- Maybe too much or not really your goal, but right now need some sort of client integration for an outside person. I can't imagine giving access to a client on a whim and training them on this. Instead, maybe automatic email integration where their emails show up in the timeline and can respond directly from there. Would produce a really great timeline for where things left off and when things are being communicated. Being able to sub-comment and share files/updates/things on Front on email threads is one of the most killer features for productivity and a team. Mixing this with what you all have could be even more next level. Again though, might not be the goal.

Congrats and best of luck! Big fan of people trying to tackle PM stuff and think you all are doing a great job.

Just trying to be helpful in the reply. It's not like I do much. Most real use is just:

- identification of things (for me, plants)

- asking questions, facts about things (history)

- asking random questions / brainstorming / bouncing ideas (cooking thing real, gift idea real)

- notifications and phone integration

- really excellent private photos/videos dump my dog and wife (friends use for kids)

I'm a huge fan. You wear it seamlessly and AI becomes true extension in your ear. Putting in ear phones seems off now.

For vision utility, mostly identification:

- look and tell me info about what is this mushroom while hiking

- asked it to explain facts about the artist of a painting at a museum

- what is this PDF on my computer screen generally about

Other utility is simply discussion. Ask questions while cooking or if you you have a random idea. For example, I used it to see ingredient alternatives while cooking home-made pasta. I also used it to brainstorm related gift ideas for my wife while purchasing a present for my wife.

It also has real-time integration (weather, news, etc.).

Finally, I don't use social media. I have a private Instagram however to post pictures and videos since the footage and auto-stability features is truly next level.

My friends mostly use for documenting their kids lives privately. It makes that Vision Pro ad where the dad is taking photos of the kids with the giant goggles a hilarious joke.

Edit: Probably the only reason it hasn't taken off is because "Meta". It's probably the best new gadget I've bought in 5+ years.

I predict we still have a few years left before someone totally figures out AI and web UI.

Tailwind will be a no brainer for it since it's all one line and would still be readable/tweakable to the user.

Candidly, producing components from scratch like this, I just haven't seen anyone do a great job.

Now, rewriting, tweaking, and plugging in content? Really good at modifying if you can get it to be fast.

I don't really understand these gadgets.

The Meta Ray-Bans have multi-modal AI built in (yes, vision that it can very quickly look and explain you see, is ridiculous how good it is), can interact/notifications with your phone, and is extremely fast and reliable.

They also don't look clunky at all anymore.

I seriously wear them all the time and would never want to carry a Rabbit with me along with my phone.

This is an healthy mix of insane and fun. I love it

Makes sense! Thanks for the reply, Adam.

Best of luck and thanks for driving progress forward with the project still.

Switching the theme configuration to CSS variables makes a ton of sense.

But what is the point of introducing a directive called "@theme{}" though for configuration?

Why not just do ":root{}"?

You can also do terrible, probably wrong napkin math, it was way too low:

- $4MM sale [1]

- ~7000 posts/pages [2]

- So DO buying at ~$600 an article

- Assuming writers were paid like $200-300 a post, DO basically paid double market rate for each article from CSS-Tricks. Or, at a +$300 gain to CSS-Tricks.

- Except they get his brand, their already edited and vetted for quality, they have established search PageRank, existing traffic, the blog pots had huge engagement (near impossible to build community aspect), established revenue streams, and much-much more.

Coyier is an absolute legend. Hate to see it end up this way. A cleaner break would have been probably double the sale price. I don't fault him. We all have regrets.

In retrospect, the biggest L though is a high traffic and respected blog like this is a perfect vehicle for onboarding of new technologies / ideas.

So like a new JS library, new CSS thing, new SaaS business, to absolutely take off. Not something like Digital Ocean.

Hilarious but something like this would be ridiculously easy to game.

Apple is trying to mainstream and normalize strapping a giant computer and camera to your face in everyday life.

I think having it watered down will actually push the dream of wearable computers for common use by making people feel less uneasy around it.

Probably the most hype video I have seen of what actual productivity on the device may look like. It is a combo of post professional and personal possibilities in your home.

For the "brand" example demo'd, is that what people tend to do for configs?

I thought people would simply just modify the default colors or create new variables like primary, secondary, etc..

Super clean. Tabs/multi-file might be nice feature add.

What is your strategy to fight bad things and bot spam attack?

But they did put eye balls on the front. Wild.

> “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

Saw that quote I think on HN a while ago.

Grief sucks. It's different than our other emotions. You can do all the right things and have everything going for you after, but it's still always there and never goes away. Something you truly how to live with and not be afraid to face or run from. This tragedy is different because in a way is ongoing. I found the post extremely inspirational. Best of luck on the new journey. Seems like they'll figure it out.

Awesome... Especially cool seeing the memories in action. I do like how the Rewind folks do things though [1].

Wearables and AI have a way bigger future and potential than AR, IMO. Why would I want to strap a giant Apple Vision headset to my face all day when I could instead just have something like a 2000s Bluetooth phone headset with an AI super assistant? [2]. I think this also solves your other issue of privacy in responses. Right now it's essentially a phone on speaker.

With an Internet connected GPT and some clever Actions/Commands, you can essentially replace your phone -- Internet searches, text, call, email, etc.

My personal dream of an AI wearable is dead-simple:

- just an ear piece to talk and listen with a slick camera on it for AI Vison [2]

- until the tech gets better/faster/smaller, just make it a relay to wherever my cloud AI, phone AI, or self-managed custom AI lives. No need to wear actual compute right now. Make the device small and slick (cough, cough, Apple...).

- 5G mobile band

- Aggressive memories / basically 24/7 streaming vision. I want analysis ready before I even ask. Even if starting it's just a snapshot frequently.

Not sure why you are trying so hard to argue it’s not that expensive. I wish there were better cost options for fuel efficient vehicles.

Unfortunately it is not just $3k.

Hybrid tend to be only on higher more expensive trims. You almost self figured that out.

Then dealer markup.

Then fees and taxes as a percentage of a larger sale.

Is-just-$3k and what you are saying is fantasy land stuff. Maybe if you could buy and configure online like Tesla one day.

Theory: In the not so distance future, “presentation” (design, etc…) will be moved entirely to the user for static sites.

Small, locally run AI will digest and output all content configured perfectly to the users preference. CSS will essentially become a recommendation language for source material at most.

Many benefits will come from this such as solving accessibility permanently or being able to change how you choose to consume content by modifying layout on-demand.

The new goal will not be how to design fun, unique sites — instead simply how fast and easy to get the content up on the net.

Agree but everything is obviously relative to people’s situation and no perfect rule.

Location, state property taxes, share the car or not, do they already have loan on another new car, new home owners or not, current net worth, age/retirement goal, kids, kids in daycare, etc…

$300k AGI can get eaten ridiculously quick. Hence why I think an EV is too expensive for most.
