I think email is one of the few critical services that takes a lot of effort to get it right. I'd rather have them take a while to ensure it is reliable rather than have a buggy mess on launch day.

I like how it triggers an overlay when you try "human", it's a nice touch

I get the point you are making, but the hypothetical question from your manager doesn't make sense to me.

It's obviously true that any of your particular coworker wouldn't be useful to you relative to an AI agent, since their goal is to perform their own obligations to the rest of the company, whereas the singular goal of the AI tool is to help the user.

Until these AI tools can completely replace a developer on its own, the decision to continue employing human developers or paying for AI tools will not be mutually exclusive.

I think the initial job loss from AI will come from having individual workers be more productive and eliminate the need to have larger teams to get the same work done.

Discord is one other messaging platform that I've found to be very bot friendly

> Like how Reddit is fine with r/Superbowl deleting any post that isn't a picture of an owl.

Minor nitpick: I agree with the idea, but the deletion of any post that doesn't contain an owl on r/Superbowl isn't a ridiculous rule. The subreddit is dedicated to "superb owls" and not to anything else.

Applying LLMs or AI to our schedules isn't an unreasonable idea. If it could improve our own productivity even just slightly, I would consider that a win. It would be democratizing the effects of value add from traditional assistants to everyone.

I think good ideas sometimes come from connecting two concepts that seem unrelated, and we shouldn't really silence any of these ideas.

All this feels like a rehash of the British Empire selling Opium to China in the 18th century. Only this time it's China supplying the United States along with other addictive digital platforms such as TikTok.

I've found myself running into sync-conflicts while editing my Obsidian Vault in a syncthing folder in the past. Did syncthing work flawlessly OOB in your experience?

A similar web-based keyboard model/layout generator for Dactyl (concave) keyboards is https://ryanis.cool/dactyl.

I think concave keyboards tend to be more ergonomic than 2d layouts, but to each their own.
