I've heard this a lot that the consumption-based pricing would be easy to switch, but I don't feel like that's how it works in B2B subscriptions. At the company I'm at, we have Anthropic subscriptions for employees. Switching to OpenAI would be a ton of work involving legal, IT, and every employee. I actually think there's a lot of stickiness even if OpenAI has some better frontier models.

I'm from the US and I agree with you, it was really distracting. That wasn't a normal family dynamic by any means.

It felt like a "sitcom family", not a real family.

I'm really interested in PlayBook and what Ink & Switch are doing. I wish more of their work was out in the open so it would be easier to try out.

Tools are not value neutral. Tools shape the user

sounds like you should go move there!

Oh, yeah I get what you mean. I think I've seen the one you want, it might be CMD+arrow key.

These keyboard shortcuts are also used in emacs; I'm not sure if that's the source of their inclusion in MacOS or if they have a common ancestor between them.

What's the difference between "just after the most recent newline" and the start of the line?

Yeah, I feel that in my bones. They've started down this road, and I don't know they'll be able to turn back.

Does ctrl+a not work for you? ctrl+a and ctrl+e work for me across every app I use on my Mac.

Yeah, macOS is in a difficult position because some paradigms it's just had forever, and changing them would be unintuitive to established users even though they're not intuitive for a newcomer.

For me, I always felt like the dragging an app into a folder is pretty intuitive. I feel like it follows the unix "everything is a file" philosophy; installing is just putting the app file somewhere on your computer.

But everything else I pretty much agree with you.

I don't love it, I wish it was more handicapped

Obviously all browsers rely on direction from the user. But they also typically rely on instructions from the browser maker's servers. Traditionally, you get all of those instructions in a single download that's been pre-packaged (the browser program itself). But if part of the browser's logic requires more computational resources than most consumers have, what's the problem with "outsourcing" that bit to Perplexity's servers?

As a consumer, I don't think it's very prudent to trust a company with that kind of access to your data, but it doesn't seem materially different from the kind of trust you have to give to Chrome.

I know it feels like they're different, but I think that at its core, they're the same.

When you say I am "manually controlling the site", that actually means I run a program on my computer that makes requests to the site, chooses how to display the content provided by the site, and then gives me control mechanisms (e.g. clicking, scrolling) to interact with that content.

An "agentic workflow" does the same thing. It's a computer program that I run that makes requests to the site, chooses how to display the content provided, and then gives me control mechanisms (e.g. typing text) to interact with the content.

I'm not trying to be pedantic here. I really think that the two aren't that different.
