    I think this "Mythos" situation, whether real or hype, points to the endgame here. Eventually, when you have a model powerful enough to have big consequences in the world, you stop…

    My wonder isn’t why he is doing this, it’s more why everyone else is t doing the same? Are we all that sure we know what happens to the stock market when the government collapses?

    Security companies? Seems like a lot of people would pay to have this on a dock in the back of their house checking their property every so often. A lot of camera systems are sold …

    Not only that—anyone who's ever tried to have FaceTime sex knows that the only video they would capture is of your face watching porn... it's not like they can see your body unless…

    As a disabled person, I admit to being made slightly uncomfortable by the uncritical framing of genetically modified people as "therapy" that all people should want. Where is the l…

    Two more small pieces of feedback, in case they're useful: - Consider a time-based free trial. As others have said, tokens are confusing, but also your model is unlimited so the ch…

    Thanks for all your hard work! Even, as a start, I found myself asking the app to copy the text to the clipboard for me without even thinking. Might be nice to be able to do that m…

    This is so cool! Great work. I'm writing this comment using Aqua Voice, and it's very impressive. I've been waiting for something like this. As a neurodivergent person, certain tas…

    Our thoughts are not who we are, they are often motivated manifestations of our subconscious and often mal-adapted to our present circumstances.

    Longtime HN poster here, asking for your help on the eve of the 15th anniversary of my first project, which has since grown into a tiny non-profit organization. Our goal is simple:…

    I've seen this sentiment repeated ad nauseam since this morning, but I can't fully understand it. The comparison isn't between Vision and full presence. Imagine watching the same v…

    To be clear: we were talking about a "food forest," not the kind of row-based farm tractor in the video. I certainly agree that the kind of tractor in the video is simpler than the…

    I guess it's true that the originally propose 1000 is an arbitrary number, and it would take some experimentation and work to figure out the ideal number of robots per acre to opti…

    I love this vision and hope it becomes the dominant telos for all of the work underway in this area. In addition to "beautiful farm," imagine a world where farms, parks, wildlife p…
