I like the voices, will be using the product soon. Thanks for sharing!

Cool! Curious to hear a sample. As any regular audiobook listener knows, having a great narrator is really key.

If AI is spawning content of its own, it's accumulating attention time. If they spawn crypto wallets they can accumulate "money", etc.

I particularly like the last point he makes here:

Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.

It's interesting to see so much hate towards creators who use AI to make almost any type of creative work. At least these are humans using it as "controllable tools". Nuclear-powered bicycles for the mind.

As the degree of separation increases, things can get interesting. "Create several social media accounts, post whatever, maximize views and engagement, give me back the aggregate numbers". "Now promote <x>."

And then decisions to do things like that may soon be happening autonomously, as just another step in a reasoning series aiming to achieve some other, broader goal.

Open models/weights may end up playing particularly important roles here. Users may, knowingly or not, bypass system prompt-derived safety that could have offered much needed protection.

Go straight to the source, Iranian cinema is awesome and widely available.

An easy starter is last year's "It Was Just an Accident", which was nominated for a couple of Oscars. It goes from being hilarious to offering a deep reflection on vengeance vs reparation.

Kiarostami and Farhadi are also two great directors to explore.

I've always wanted a phone keyboard that folds yet still types reasonably well. Tried a few, hated them all.

A sufficiently detailed spec was actually a small step in the path to functional code.

Then came all sorts of shenanigans, from memory management to syntax hell, which took forever to learn effectively.

This stage was a major barrier to entry, and it's now gone — so yeah, things have indeed changed completely.

After decades using rsync for my local backups, I recently switched to ChronoSync Express. It's simple to use, with a sensible GUI and well-laid-out customization options.

And btw, it's included on Setapp subscriptions.

Next up: Acrobat in a PDF!

Oh, and clicking multiple times at the leftmost portion of the instrument (around 1/4th from the top) sounds exactly like Laurie Anderson's classic "O Superman" :)

Fun! I'd love the option to increase (double?) range. It would sacrifice precision somewhat, so a toggle would be ideal.

A toggle for quickly visualizing notes would also be useful, as well as keyboard shortcuts — perhaps while one clicks the mouse on a given note, pressing the keyboard shortcut for another specific note gradually moves pitch in that direction, with programmable speed.
