How far in advance is it worth looking at any macro economic trends? I think you can automatically discount any article looking 10 years or more out, they have neither the incentive nor the talent to make any reasonable prediction. On top of that, the timeless aspects of the world and human nature aren't news worthy - so anything remotely predictable doesn't get said.

Are you intimating that an octopus is more complex than human cognition? Or just that an octopus is complex?

This looks awesome - might I suggest splitting the headlines on the homepage into a punchy title and subtitle? The wordiness of them makes it difficult for me to parse them for the topic quickly

Are you finding response time to be an issue? I can imagine some very long pauses might kill the flow of conversation.

I'm currently working on an interface for google calendar @ https://calendarcompanion.io My next feature is integrating the functionality with telegram, it's hard to predict the value of these features in the moment - but I do think this could be an extremely interesting "iPhone" moment for technology. Just like how the iPhone reduced everything to a single button press, we can now squeeze the functionality of some pretty complicated apps into natural language through text - and as the response time of LLM's improves it will become a short conversation for things that used to dazzle new users! Exciting times!

As for the stack, I have Supabase and Typescript on the frontend, python on the backend and k3's as a cluster for my apps (can recommend this if you want to get devops-y on a budget). Next time, I'll just go pure Typescript since python really doesn't add much working this far away from the base models.
