Or… it’s just someone who wanted to build cool stuff. I see the value in being able to locally run apps designed to talk to OpenAI apis.

I love & support Firefox but feel nervous about going all in on it when Mozilla appears to be pivoting away from investing in it.

How is UBI funded? Is it significant taxes on corporate entities? And will adopting UBI be super challenging for a consumer economy like the US that depends so much on discretionary spending?

I saw a unique perspective on this: It’s more useful and appropriate to ask not if the AI is intelligent but if it can do work that once required human intelligence. Because that’s the milestone from …

I love it! I'm doing something similar: using playwright as a headless browser to log into twitter a couple times a day and pull news & updates for me from saved searches. It's just for …

I believe they’ll get there eventually, but why demo something that so clearly doesn’t exist yet? I feel this will only serve to set false expectations on features & timelines. I just don’t see th…
