    Oh you think it's stupid? It was an attempt to encode an encryption key that isn't sent to the server in a way that is minimally invasive. The skintone emomis allow pretty high byt…

    It is largely written by iteration with an LLM! No need to speculate or analyze em dashes :-) The emoji idea was mine. I like it :-) unfortunately it doesn't work in places like HN…

    Hi! I want anonymity! I also want to be able to prove what level of effort has been put in to something. I think there's room for both. This is an encrypted proof that I wrote some…

    Hi! You don't need an x.com account to download, that's just the easiest way to dm me. If you're actually interested, I can let you try it! The source is also available. It proves …

    Just as shipwrecks before the advent of nuclear bombs are a source of low background radiation, troves of content like this are low-ai-contamination sources of guaranteed human med…

    We built hellowonder.ai as a PWA first, and it was almost amazing! But we use voice input, and ios would pop up the microphone permission repeatedly after a few minutes, even if it…

    Well, it's part chat bot, so I don't know if it meets your criteria. But we're using them for a LOT of things behind the scenes to help kids find content they love that their paren…

    We are tackling this at hellowonder.ai . I took what I learned building ai tools at Google and built a system that does more than just block bad content for kids. It helps kids fin…
