this is the second or third example i’ve seen in the past week where the creativity and originality seem real

but ofc it comes from someone who knows games intimately

I asked Fable 5.2 to "go wild" making a game, and all I got was this Pong clone.

And then I played it ...

@varunsrin why deep flow state? because less time spent retreating from garden paths?

@tekbog I've had a similar thought that it's a category error

In many if not most cases, shopping is a form of entertainment

Which isn't to say that Muse couldn't turn the experience into something entertaining, but I suspect it would be too uniform to truly be entertaining

There is maybe a world in which Twitter is synergistic with Grok + Cursor Cloud

The best, newest, weirdest ideas are often published here. Imagine that Twitter adds a “Do this” or “Try this” button

once you start having your kids ask chatgpt about their curiosities via the carplay app, your chat list becomes an unusually fun social network for your family

Yes but what's weird is that I'm repelled by cars becoming so homogenous and attracted to software that feels more OS-level. I can't explain why.

[Jonathan Libov @libovness]

10-15 years ago, the best, most popular apps would be identifiable with the briefest of glances — Foursquare, Instagram, even Twitter. Claude is like that today, which is notable because I find the UI insufferable.

The best, most popular, most trustworthy apps are now undistinguishable at a glance because they share either the Linear SaaS Inter skin, or they’re intended to look like apps that Apple didn’t build but might have (ChatGPT, Cal AI).

For as much as I lament the homogenization of UI in software, I do find myself striving more for experiences that feel system level, not unique or quirky or bespoke, as I once did.

Which maybe says a lot about the prospects for the proliferation of bespoke software.

chat threads break down beyond quick tasks. that's why the unit of work in Intent is a workspace with your:
- agents (who's doing the work)
- context (what info they need to do the work)
- files (what they're working on)
- changes (record of the work)
- browsers & terminals (previews/tools for the work)
new update makes this clearer in the UI.
