Downloaded Comet last week and I was wondering why anthropic/openAI didn't have one. It's a no brainer. Google's hegemony is really going to take a hit, wondering if hardware-software monopolies like Apple are also going to get hit at some point.

When ChatGPT was first released I quickly lost count of the number of HN comments predicting Google had about 6-12 months before their search monopoly and ad revenue evaporated.

You think it's not happening? Do you still use google? I don't personally

Try it yourself and ignore the hype. For certain things it can be really useful, just keep in mind that it's early days. I recently used Comet to find out of print movies that were never released on DVD/Bluray, then find them on ebay, then find the best value, then provide me with a list to order. It felt like magic watching it work, and saved me many hours of either doing it myself or scripting it. I did have to rep…

If the movies were never released on DVD/Bluray, what is it that you are searching for on ebay? VHS?

VHS, 16mm film, etc. I enjoy owning films that are basically unobtanium.

I'm still shocked that there isn't basic functionality in chatgpt that allows you to fork conversations to have subtopical conversational threads off of a main one. For example, I'm asking deep philosophical questions, or maybe reaching for a STEM concept slightly beyond my understanding, and that inevitably requires me to ask subquestions (eg "okay wait, what are Conformal Fields?"). Doing so still forces me to do a…

You can do this at grok.com. There is a "start thread" option below every conversation. You can also read the responses aloud (helpful if you want to do something async).

Oh cool! Finally!!!

Unfortunately, it looks to only support single subthreads. But my questions have questions sometimes. I want to subthread conversations to arbitrary depth. If they can subconvo once, they can do it arbitrarily.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Maybe you haven’t seen this yet, but there is a (recent) option to fork a conversation when you click on the thee dots of a reply.

Atlas feels like a Dia clone. I’ve used Dia for a couple months, but rarely touch the ChatGPT integration—quick answers go to Kagi with “?”, and deeper work goes to Claude or ChatGPT directly. The “reference a bunch of open tabs” workflow just isn’t common for me. Dia’s free-tier limits don’t help, and since I already pay for Claude and ChatGPT, I’m not adding another $20/month for overlapping features. Curious how A…

It looks like it can do potentially much more than Dia by automating your browser itself pretty autonomously based on the video.

As for how useful Dia has been, I think the most valuable thing for me has just been summarizing really long pages. Nothing else has really moved the needle for me.

There is! If you click on the three dots menu of a response, there is a “Branch in new chat” option. I just discovered it today and feel like it’s new.

My ChatGPT doesn't have a three dots menu on iOS or macOS.

Something's bugging me about Atlas - it's clearly Chromium-based (you can tell from the user agent and UI), but I can't find any credit to Chromium anywhere. No license info, no acknowledgments, and when I try to access chrome:// pages they're blocked. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but shouldn't there be some transparency about what you're building on top of? Especially with open source projects that have attribution…

The company that famous for theft, now not acknowledging open source. This checks out.

It isn’t present on mobile (at least on iOS) unfortunately. I use it all the time on the web though, and it’s very useful.

Most comments here oscillate between “cool tech” and “surveillance nightmare,” but that’s been true for every major platform shift — search, mobile, cloud. The real question is governance: who defines what the assistant can see, store, or act on? The tech is trivial compared to the trust layer.

Also worth noting: Atlas only exists because Chrome and Safari refused to give third-party AIs deep tab access. Build walls, get competitors.

Surely this is something you can do with simple searches...? Unless you're reaching the level of trying to buy dozens or hundreds of movies. https://xkcd.com/1205/

> hundreds of movies.

That was the goal, yes. In the end I only actually found about 10 I didn't already own, but the AI had to wade through a few hundred to find them.
