This is amazing, I feel like these vision models are going to make everything so much more accessible. Between the Be My Eyes app integration and now this, I'm really excited for how this transforms the web.

I agree, and I think we're a year or two away from a full end-to-end trained screen reader. The ground truth from existing systems would provide great training material.

As a technical blind person, my only concern is the inherent loss of privacy while sharing stuff with the big models.

At my work there are a large contingent of people who essentially do manual data copying between legacy programs (govt), because the tech debt is so large that we can't figure out a way to plug these things together. Excited for tools like this to eventually act as a layer that can run over these sort of problems, as bizarre a solution as it is from a compute perspective

Kinda sci-fi, we're so close to a future where when/if original source code is lost, a mainframe runs in an emulator and the human operating it is also emulated.
