    It would be nice to be able to play with one's own account, so it's not billing you. I know there's a way to do this with A\ powered apps like this, I'm sure there must be for OAI?…

    I'd say Anathem is the best of the bunch, and has held up best over time.

    You should read 'Anathem' by Neal Stephenson, which goes into great deal about this kind of establishment.

    The app doesn't have to do this itself, phones do it for you. ARCore on Android, ARKit on iOS.

    I’m curious how much you used AI to write it, as it’s just chock full of Claude-isms.

    I've been using an Anatek Pocket Record for the past 34 years. Bought it when I was 14. That's value! https://www.izcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/pm_Pocket-Record.j...
