No mention/comparison to Gemini CLI? Gemini CLI is awesome and they just added a kind of stealth feature for Chrome automation. This capability was first announced as Project Mariner, and teased for eventual rollout in Chrome, but it's available right now for free in Gemini CLI.

Let's do this. But entirely local. Local obsidian, local LLM, and all open source. That's the future I want.

Open-weights only are also not enough, we need control of the dataset and training pipeline.

The average user like me wouldn't be able to run pipelines without serious infrastructure, but it's very important to understand how the data is used and how the models are trained, so that we own the model and can assess its biases openly.

I do really like the Unix approach Claude Code takes, because it makes it really easy to create other Unix-like tools and have Claude use them with basically no integration overhead. Just give it the man page for your tool and it'll use it adeptly with no MCP or custom tool definition nonsense. I built a tool that lets Claude use the browser and Claude never has an issue using it.

Good luck understanding the biases in a petabyte of text and images and video, or whatever the training set is.

> Anyone who can't find use cases for LLMs isn't trying hard enough

That's an interesting viewpoint from an AI marketing company.

I think the essential job of marketing is to help people make the connection between their problems and your solutions. Putting all on them in a kind of blamey way doesn't seem like a great approach to me.
