I was kind of waiting for Apple to ship something like this and using speechify in the meantime, so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across Kokoro in a thread on HN a few days…

I thought it was a great post tying a lot of things I’ve been reading and thinking about together. Could care less if you used AI if it helps my brain expand and or make connection…

Thanks for mentioning this, a coworker also pointed me to that feature after reading my post. I've since updated the top of the post with two things that stood out to me in the fee…

My friend Christian Metts and I, 15 and 14 at the time, decided to start a virtual reality arcade in Jackson Crossing mall in Jackson Michigan in 1996. We wrote a business plan, go…
