When the chef said, ‘Hey, Meta, start Live AI,’ it started every single Ray-Ban Meta’s Live AI in the building.
I’m not as anti-AI, anti-assistant as everyone here (although lately I too have kicked all that out of my own life) but one thing that I wish would away sooner rather than later is the whole hey Siri, hey Alexa, hey Google, hey Meta thing which is a very bad idea executed poorly.

Okay, this article has the same traffic signs metaphor.
To me in gesture form I see someone going 🙅🏻♀️ that is so viscerally “no” to me. Like in Dicken’s “The Signal-Man”.

For readers, they look just like normal blog posts, there’s RSS and there’s a normal web view. The weirdo chat bubble interface is only for the person writing them.
It’s supposedly a way to overcome writer’s block. I haven’t tried the app (and not gonna), but I do believe that this does work.

Great reminder of how it felt to have only a surface understanding of an app:
they don’t internalize a computer/app as a generalized system with common UI conventions and frameworks and reusable elements that always behave predictably in different contexts, etc, etc. They interact with these things through a set of memorized steps that gets them to the thing they want to do.
I think even many programmers can relate to using one specific app this way: git! Yeah, yeah, it’s possible to understand git properly (one of the good things of a previous day job I had was that I learned that, and have started heading down that road at least somewhat, because it made git fun instead of a source of dread) but we’ve all heard the memes of how people just memorize a set of steps with git. I was even using shell scripts and many of those scripts I still use. Just basically “make a save point here please” like a video game.
Now can I finally get a li’l less grief for using an editor from the 1970s? 🤷🏻♀️
