Nice constraint. I've been building in this space for a while now and the lossiness question is a real one. The accessibility tree works for a lot of things but the more I worked on it the more stuff I found needed pixels.

YMMV.

That's weird that the more techy thing is cheaper.

> Going forward, I won’t be using AI in this way to create any more web stuff, and I do not use it to anything close to this extent on iOS software.

'comon now, let's not throw out the baby with the bath water.

That's a bit of an scorched earth extreme response imho.

Conversely, software that is not open source, but that has a really good API and SDK (like obsidian) is also very easy for your agent to do anything it wants with.

This gives the end user all the customization they need and gives a company like obsidian the capability to have a little bit of secret source in today’s day and age.

I've been in a few meetings like this. In all cases it was because they, as business leaders, were not able to run a profitable company.

That's the most irritating part.

Agree.

Creating products with AI is like creating a tightly packed ball of wool. Then, to try to understand what happened you have to somehow pick a strand and pull it out to have a look. Very difficult with tightly packed wool.

I've run some experiments in the past month that get me closer to being able to work with this opaque bundle.

It's the main thing I think about every day, how to solve this problem.

Came to say the same thing. Experts in any field have a huge unlock from AI.

Nooooo! Sigh. RIP JCD :(

I was very lucky to get a chance to interview him on our podcast back in 2010 [1]. He of course was very funny and insightful.

So kind of him to even come on our unknown show.

I used to love listening to him in early No Agenda [2] talking about his takes on all sorts of worldly things especially fine dining, spices, and all the famous people he'd had run-ins with.

Yeah, I have been thinking exactly the same. Makes all the sense in the world and is inevitable as far as I can see.

You should be able to fix this by playing with the mic speech floor. It happens when to much ambient stuff slurps in.

It's actually gaslighting you, you don't say that many ums and ahs ;)

Nice work on making a self hosted version I think that kind of privacy is something a lot of people want these days.

I'm working on a Mac OS memory app for AI. Not quite ready to share the link, but just wanted to put the periscope above the water.

4 years doing this before AI. Then I felt my tool was not quite right for the AI environment. Now I'm building something else with AI.
