Yes I am keen to have some kind of desktop robot I can talk to, as long as I can use ElevenLabs and ChatGPT

To boil it down I think it's basically one 'orchestrator' chat, so you don't manage multiple chats, and it proactively reaches out to you to update you on how your other chats are going. In the presentation they mentioned a "Chief of Staff".

It's not intended for coding.

No, they are right. This is basically just GOV.uk for America, and GOV.uk by all accounts is an incredible success.

It could have been worse, the Dots name was originally "o" and the introduction videos they have put out have been clearly dubbed over

Using advisors doesn't break anything

Alternatively you could just use plan mode

There is a point, plan mode has harness level behaviour - it's restricted to readonly tools, and it re-reads its plan into context after compaction

I use Claude's Plan mode daily and it's great. I almost always have feedback to refine the plan and I want a clean separation of planning time before writing code. I don't get what the problem is.

I also find this "kill Plan mode" push on Twitter odd, because developers have been complaining about AI supposedly killing their jobs, yet they want to take away the main feature that lets them be an active collaborator and participator in the process. Weird.

Now this just makes me sad that Apple gave up on the lighter Vision Pro. I might actually use this... if it had a real OS

Not many people know this but OpenAI even has a FREE separate moderation model and API endpoint that can classify user generated content.

If you're happy with letting Meta train on you, Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor pricing is a much better deal than Luna

This makes Fable not really make any sense?

How is it not relevant? It's not like they randomly picked the place, it's their office

No I do other things. Oftentimes I'll just do it from my phone when I'm out and about and just work with it asynchronously.
