Essentially what this article is asking for, in most cases, is a better UI/UX for one of the foundation models.

I agree but for they example you picked, I imagined he was referring to their style of writing.
But if he meant literally then then yea.. that's delusional

#332. is already possible with Claude Code + context files + the Playwright MCP, or?
7. also seems possible with any markdown editor, e.g. Obsidian, plus an AI running through the local files such as Claude Code.
13. I would love this as well! We will probably see this soon, especially on more open platforms such as BlueSky, as its seems to be a better fit for customizable browser extensions and customizable feed experiences.
14. How is this different from what AI can already do? Especially with iterative sub-agents that that can store context in files it's quite capable already. But of course, quality can always be better, but is that the only thing?
Also a few ideas seem to be close to what I'm building ( https://dailyselftrack.com/ ). Idea is to have a customizable tool so you can track what you want, and then you can feed that data into AIs if you choose to do so to get feedback.

#34>A recommendation engine that looks at my browsing history, sees what blog posts or articles I spent the most time on, then searches the web every night for things I should be reading that I’m not. In the morning I should get a digest of links I don't understand why Google, Brave, or Mozilla are not building this. This already exists in a centralized form like X's timeline for posts, but it could exist for the entire…
It already exists in the form of the news feed on Google News and the one in the chrome mobile app, although the ability to tune this is only being able to click on articles to express your interest in them, instead of being able to provide a list of articles.
The entire web is more than recent news articles from a handful of news sites.

#35Not just for this article, but from most ideas/articles around LLMs, I feel like they aren't "thinking with portals" enough. We have "portal gun" tech (or at least, that's what's being marketed), and we're using it as better doors.
I agree with this. But do you have any resources on "thinking with portals"? It's easier said than done.

#36> A minimalist ebook reader that lets me read ebooks, but I can highlight passages and have the model explain things in more depth off to the side. It should also take on the persona of the author. It should feel like an extension of the book and not a separate chat instance. Isn’t this just a chrome extension that sends data back and forth with chat gpt token?
It’s easy to implement on a computer, but I think they want it built into a kindle.
How i wish kindle’s reader was oss. This would require jailbreaking it.

#38This Chrome extension does 13. Semantic filters for Twitter/X/YouTube. I want to be able to write open-ended filters like “hide any tweet that will likely make me angry” and never have my feed show me rage-bait again. By shaping our feeds we shape ourselves.

Uses localLLM to hide posts based on your prompt. "Block rage bait" is one excellent use. The quality, however, depends on the model you are using, and in turn depends what GPU you have

It hides content on X/ Reddit (more sites coming soon) based on your instructions. Speed and quality depends on the model you are using however, since it currently only supports local LLMs

I think even that still misses that it can only offer a pastiche.
As an example, I put the first paragraph of Hemingway's "A clean, Well Lightened Place" into Le Chat and asked it for notes to make it sound like Hemingway. It gave me plenty!
For example:
Tweak: The second sentence is a bit long. Consider breaking it up for more impact:
“In the day the street was dusty. At night, the dew settled the dust.” -> “The old man liked to sit late. He was deaf, and at night it was quiet. He felt the difference.”
