Tough watch, but a must listen. It's so telling how he switches from "our" and "grammerly" to "them" and the "product team" when the questions get tough.. you're the boss, you're responsible, that's the deal

Dear Spotlight, if I type "1Pass" I'd like to open 1Password, not the calculator to learn that 1Pa equals 0.0003 inHg. Thanks
The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."
IMO the hidden killer there is Gemini. I struggle to see why folks would pay for ChatGPT access once they get Gemini access for free on iOS & Android.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic have been struggling to find a product that people are willing to pay for that isn’t just model access. Claude Code was a bit of an aha moment for Anthropic in that regard, but that too has been rapidly homogenized w/ Codex, Pi, OpenCode, etc.
Yup! That’s a big part of the bubble we find ourselves in at the moment.. The various models — including the OSS ones — are rapidly homogenizing. The moat isn’t in the quality of the models themselves anymore, but what you can do with them around it.
As with most tech cycles, the next big innovation will have to be efficiency. Opus 4.6 / ChatGPT 5.4 are good enough. What would make them great is if we could use them for cheap or even locally
I've been using it for years and can confidently say it's been great. I don't have to worry about my privacy being the product and it is reliably there when I need it. Also a big fan of the ? opt-in for AI results rather than forcing it on me all the time
We need a term for repackaging existing models as your own. Dropshipping but for AI:
Slopshipping?
Google keeps reinforcing that the decision to switch to Kagi was the right one

And the same goes for accountability. Who is responsible for the code you created with AI? You.
My astigmatism makes it very annoying to read (small) white text on a black background because of halation.. Spotify is particularly bad as it's often pure white on very dark gray / pure black.
Who do we have to bribe to get light mode in Spotify?
🤟

How is @josephcox.bsky.social's mental health now?
AI agents flooding PRs should be opt-in, not something users struggle to disable.
This is great news! Very glad to have a built in reliable way to deal with time
Strange side-effect of Wispr flow / superwhisper: not entirely sure if the other person on this pair-work video call is trying to talk to me on mute or dictating to the machine :')
500 people decided to build something together.
Every commit. Every fix. Every feature.
None of them were asked. They just showed up from every corner of the world and made Directus better.
Thank you to every single contributor. You're the reason this exists. 💜
Between the (often) misheard words and having to speak to myself with my music paused the fiddliness weighs stronger than the usefulness, so back to typing we go!
A is easy enough to resolve: I'm sure it can get smarter with learning from previous written text to match that more closely, but B) is a tough one. Reminds me of @reckless.bsky.social' matrix of wearable bullshit in which one axis is “usefulness” and the other is “fiddliness”.
I've been trying Wispr Flow for a few weeks and learned something strange about myself: while it's undoubtedly faster than typing, I found myself going back to typing most of the time A) so it remains in my actual tone of voice, and B) because I hate murmuring to myself.
Just a Slack channel within the company, but maybe it's time to publish that somewhere too 😄
Three weeks ago we started a little channel to share each others social media posts and a friendly competition to increase engagement. Today, we more-than-doubled the number of unique visitors to our website. Coincidence? I think not.
The npmx folks are running a masterclass on community building.
I don't mean that as combative as it sounds 😅 Just legitimately curious to hear your takes as I too struggle under the "how to do OSS properly while not going bankrupt" problem..
What are we supposed to do in the meantime? It's impossible to change societal behavior overnight, and it it's futile to try new apps or licensing schemes before the societal behavior has changed, is OSS just doomed?
Nothing like an early evening of Rust programming to soothe the soul
I basically stopped using the in-IDE extensions for these as all of them have missing bits and bobs. I've been using the terminal CLIs the most as they felt the most done, but have recently been dabbling with the Mac apps. Codex is undeniably superior as a Mac app, Claude wins it for me on the CLI 🥴
