Would you pay 2$ for that MacOS native desktop app?

So you can easily train it to act a certain way or give certain types of responses.

#13This is so cool, I'm always speaking to people about how the advancement in the SOTA hosted AI's is also happening in the local model space, i.e. the SOTA hosted AI models 6-12 months ago are what we're seeing now being able to run locally on average hardware - this is such an amazing way to actually demo it.

#14That is very, very interesting. I've been hoping to have an assistant in the workshop (hands-free!) that I could talk to and have it help me with simple tasks: timers, calculating, digging up notes, etc. — basically, what the phone assistants were supposed to be, but aren't. "You will have to unlock your iphone first" is kind of a deal-breaker when you are in the middle of mixing polyurethane resin and have gloves an…

The computing power we all have in our pockets is staggering. It could be tool that truly makes our lives easier, but instead it's mostly a device that is frustrating to use. Companies have decided to make it simply another conduit for advertising. It's a tool for them to sell us more stuff. Basic usability be damned.
