I thought the exact same. There is also a growing problem with people using AI to summarize everything instead of reading the actual text. I thought this addressed that issue by having a section for the AI to help summarize or something similar.

How is this different from descript? It seems like descript, but you took out the video functionality?

What's stopping the non-profits that exist today from just putting more money into tokens to get the solutions they want?

If the source is a person instead of an LLM, you still wouldn't be able to evaluate what was said. This is nothing new.

To me this is such a weird take. I'd imagine you don't have a clear understanding of how 95% of the things you interact with on a daily basis is made. So many things from Shampoos, to Microwaves, to your car, to how your coffee is sourced and made. You are perfectly fine giving away your full control and understanding to another intelligence/s for these things. This could be a bad idea, and historically has been for some people. They were eating food that contained things that weren't healthy for them or they are allergic to some product. However, a majority of people still live this way as long as most of them get a good result from the process. Most people only care about giving an input and getting the same output.

The best place for the latest information isn't tech blogs in my opinion. It's the stable diffusion and local llama subreddits. If you are looking to learn about everything on a fundamental level you need to check out Andrej Karpathy on YouTube. There other some other notable mentions in other people's comments.

I was just about to post the same link. It is really cool tech and Smack Studio is when I first fell in love with the concept. What Adobe has is cool, but I've seen it already.

You may want to check out LiteFS and LiteStream by benbjohnson. There was a time in 2022 where he was trending every week for his projects. The following snippet is taken from the LiteFS webpage. "LiteFS is a distributed file system that transparently replicates SQLite databases. You can run your application like it’s running against a local on-disk SQLite database but behind the scenes the database is replicated to all the nodes in your cluster."

I remember seeing you debate Jason Calacanis from the all in podcast on this week in startups on this exact topic. You are probably one of the most confident, well spoken people I have ever heard on a podcast. You also don't derive your comfort from the people around you, so you didn't feel the need to laugh away awkward moments. It's a great watch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5hUT8VZNvm8&t=3488s&pp=ygUhVGh...

"Or hey, even more amusingly, a killer app could be something B2B, like enabling remote robotic work, where the worker’s commands get recorded and become training data for autonomous robotic systems. This is the core premise of my short story on AI, which I can now plug here. woohoo!"

I actually thought this is where the next big AI company would come from. A gaming company that created a game that also had a business use case. They would use the data from that game to train ML models that were capable of doing work. If someone were able crowd source some AI robot training through gaming, they would be paid by consumers and by businesses. Kind of like how captcha digitized books in the backend.

This looks great! I need to look into it. For a little while I have used a combination of a KVM Switch and Mouse without Bordershttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=354... to switch between my computer and the laptop I have on my desk. It would be great to have a local-only option. The application would need to copy the contents of my clipboard from one computer to the next, a feature I don't think I can live without.
