This is soooo incredibly cool. Beyond the Tom Riddle diary aspect, I love the idea of this as a new medium for interacting with an LLM. You could gift it to someone and they could just write naturally, their thoughts, questions, notes, and get responses back without typing or speaking. It feels less like a chatbot and more like a journal you can communicate through. You could give it a personality and all.

I understand that this is kind of beside the point, but it seems like a bad thing to compare inventions to haunted artifacts that mind controlled their users into betraying their friends to a powerfully evil being. (Though since it is being powered by GenAI, which has also driven people to do bad things, perhaps it is an apt comparison.)

You hit on the point at the end… It’s not a bad comparison, it’s an apt one.

There's a video if you click around... https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432?s=20

A new high water mark for R T F A.

Can't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting, and why do they need an account on an unrelated service when an image/gif embed would get the message across in 5 seconds?

> stylelint beeps you can't just pass hex colors directly, that color is not in our design system, you need to write a design doc for custom color tokens and get approval from the frontend platform team, open a PR in their repo, make sure you have storybook tests covering all the color button variants, ask in their slack channel for approve, ask their manager, wait. someone from their team leaves a comment: "we should make this an approved custom colors enum not a string, so if you want to add custom colors you also have to update this enum", fix the PR, staff engineer from sister team drive by request for changes: "we are currently implementing custom themes and changing colors will be done through the ColorSwatch service", ask for timelines, "maybe next week behind a feature flag", give up, close the PR, open a new PR with "stylelint-disable", force-merge it.

I thought that was part of the appeal of this. There's something spooky and ironic about it.
