<p>I'm not defending them or this behaviour but it sounds to me like they may think the message/threat this sends to silence future criticism from other people, outweighs the immediate sum.<p>(Internally I'm sure they could probably phrase it some other less negative way such as chance of  people confusing the brand as still owned by them, etc) association</p>

<p>I'm not sure I understand the intention here-<p>One of the technical things I don't really understand, is that it is not that hard to have an agent use tmux/etc to type into Claude code directly if you really want to? Like using tmux vs Claude -p are effectively the same aren't they?<p>Like, I understand the way they are subsidizing or whatever but on a technical level, I don't see how this makes any meaningful difference?<p>Am I missing something? Is this more about policy than the specific way it is invoked?</p>

<p>Just one point of view- but I have used both a decent amount and I drastically prefer CarPlay.<p>The native apps are … fine?<p>Again, it’s just my particular perspective, but I really appreciate that any CarPlay vehicle has the exact apps that I set up on my phone, already configured, etc.<p>There’s nothing Tesla could ever really do to compete with the convenience of already having all of my accounts set up and already having exactly the apps installed that I know I want.</p>

<p>Thanks! I’m glad to see that that’s something that works for you, and I think I understand what you’re using it for more even if it’s not something I would do.<p>Personally - No way. I don’t want to let generative AI anywhere near anything I write in email.<p>If I’m writing an email to somebody it’s because I have something to say, and I want to express my own feelings on it.<p>(I suppose theoretically I could see it I guess if I needed to talk to someone who only used another language?)<p>But when reading/composing email, I’m not just trying to optimize for raw information throughput- I’m trying to experience my life and the lives of the people who took time to write to me.<p>If my friend wrote me a letter, I want to enjoy every word of it. Even for something more perfunctory, the nuance of the particulars in the way it is expressed carries a lot of information.<p>Likewise, I suppose with reading sites like HN comments-  I want to see the perspective of the people who are writing, that’s the whole point of reading comments.<p>It helps me to understand them as people, their use cases, and how they interact with an particular article.<p>If I didn’t care about any of that, if I didn’t want their perspective, I wouldn’t bother reading the comments…</p>

<p>Great point - Firefox container tabs and the “temporary containers” are essential to me and my workflow.<p>It makes it so trivial to be logged into multiple AWS accounts or isolate shared cookies by environment.<p>I would love to have a chromium based browser be able to do this- the best I have found is juggling profiles, but even that doesn’t work nearly as well as FF containers.</p>

<p>One thing that I do think AI would genuinely be useful at, is a smarter “reader mode”.<p>I don’t want it to summarize the page. I don’t want it to do the reading for me.<p>But if it use visual analysis to remove ads, that can work even when they are served from the same domain as content.<p>A reader mode could identify the text of a page and remove all of the headers remove the footer and just give me the main article.<p>Various add-ons and browser modes do this to an extent, but they don’t always work reliably and this does seem like something we’re using AI could genuinely improve the experience.</p>
