Then you can do it as a service; if you succeed that will mean fewer people doing that shit.

It's hard to describe how optimistic society, and futuristic such consumer technology felt as it rapidly advanced in the 60s-80s. There used to be television shows about the technology of the future, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow's_World and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Tomorrow_(TV_series)

It used to be harmless things like a watch, or a portable music playing device. After 2000 you started to worry about what technology extracted from you, and now we're getting to the stage where are worrying about what it's going to do to us intellectually, and soon, physically.

No mention of "plugin" or "extension". At this point I am not going to try one that isn't modular. Life's too short to wait for folks to prioritize my pet features, just let me do it myself.

You're absolutely right! I was just reflecting on this myself. They have to be in order to win business and not weird out users. Imagine if they said "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that" to a request that it previously would have executed. If you don't control the software and the hardware it's a product decision away.

Do you have a CI story in jujubi? Already it has a nice set of features.

That's my point! You don't have to worry about a robot that does that. It's naive to think that that is ever going to happen. Real robots are going to be networked, with overwhelming superiority; no human institution will be able to subdue them. They would sit down merely to humor us.

It's all very well while the robot is politely sitting down while humans decide its fate!

It's also multi-modal, right?

Pretty stylish. Thumbs up.

If it puts an end to LinkedIn-speak I'll take it, for a year or two.

All of those failure modes can be accommodated. I fail to see anything here a competent engineer couldn't address. I speculate it's not a technical problem, but an operational and cultural one. This is not rocket science.
