I don't know, this seems reasonable. I already know how to select, copy, and manipulate text in my $EDITOR. Why would a terminal multiplexer try to implement all of that rather than just let me open the terminal in my $EDITOR?

All utopias are fictional. Arguably that is definitive of the term as coined by Thomas More.

Isn't this still what Donald Trump does?

Huh? It's a waitlist. The whole point of a waitlist is that not everyone is gonna sign up for it. It creates a sense of exclusivity by signing up and doing so manually.

Disagree all you like, but the UX here makes perfect sense for what this is.

It looks cool, but I gotta say if I were you I'd have just played Legos with my 9-year old. Kids have their whole lives ahead of them to waste time a computer.

Can someone tell me what the appeal of games like this is? If I wanted to play with Legos I could already do that in the real world, with my real friends.

> And it's not just me; that is most people's experience with LLMs.

Uh... bold claim. What's your evidence?

Agreed. Very edgelord-y right off the bat. Couldn't finish it.

> Because, yes, we love to say AI is the biggest revolution since the Industrial Revolution, and that we’re going through a transformation unlike anything we’ve seen before. But that overlooks the farmers who watched the tractor roll in, or the farrier who watched the car arrive.

How does that overlook the farmers? They're alluded to right there in the prior sentence. I don't get this.

In truth I think it was just the use of the definite article that got me. This is a notebook that runs code, not the notebook that runs code. I just think this is cool and it could be better differentiated.

Yes, exactly. I'm sharing with this creator what my initial knee-jerk reaction was, admittedly exaggerating a bit. In case he'd like to avoid other people having a similar reaction. (And indeed, he thanked me for my feedback.)

It seems like you think that pointing out that I'm sharing my attitude is some sort of gotcha, but I'm confused. Sharing one's attitude is the whole point of posting an internet comment, isn't it?

This is all valid, but I'd suggest rethinking the slogan "The notebook that runs code" at the top of the README. I much prefer .md too and haven't used notebooks regularly in years, but nevertheless I scoffed when I read that (I thought: hasn't this guy heard of Jupyter?). I believe you'd be better off not calling this a "notebook" at all since that terms tends to describe something slightly different than what you have here.

I guess I just don't know what you mean by "everything."
