This is one of those ideas that would really benefit from a short video demo, gif, or even a screenshot directly in the README. Otherwise, the title reads like a "Curtains for Zoosha?" meme. [0]

There's a video if you click around...

Can't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting?
lrvick•45m ago
Twitter videos are hard to watch when you do not have an twitter account.

I remember for roughly a month after Elon bought twitter he opened the site up again and public viewers could browse it. Now you can't even click play on a video lol.

After clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it

You can just replace x.com with nitter.net, though their bandwidth sucks for media playback.

This is sick, in the 90's Tony Hawk sense of the word.

I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now.

There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week.

We are not in the slow times anymore.

sarcasm surely

MarkusQ•47m ago
I remember it taking long enough (they had to wait for another project to need a lot of that color) that we wound up using dope to mock it up. (Regular paint didn't hold and just chipped off.)
glerk•21m ago
> stylelint beeps you can't just pass hex colors directly, that color is not in our design system, you need to write a design doc for custom color tokens and get approval from the frontend platform team, open a PR in their repo, make sure you have storybook tests covering all the color <cross product> button variants, ask in their slack channel for approve, ask their manager, wait. someone from their team leaves a comment: "we should make this an approved custom colors enum not a string, so if you want to add custom colors you also have to update this enum", fix the PR, staff engineer from sister team drive by request for changes: "we are currently implementing custom themes and changing colors will be done through the ColorSwatch service", ask for timelines, "maybe next week behind a feature flag", give up, close the PR, open a new PR with "stylelint-disable", force-merge it.

If Fable can now create horcruxes, the Commerce Department should seriously consider another time out.
Tcepsa•55m ago
I understand that this is kind of beside the point, but it seems like a bad thing to compare inventions to haunted artifacts that mind controlled their users into betraying their friends to a powerfully evil being. (Though since it is being powered by GenAI, which has also driven people to do bad things, perhaps it is an apt comparison.)
avaer•48m ago
Why would that comparison be bad if it's accurate?

Also, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Both can be made good and evil.

p-e-w•44m ago
It’s not accurate, it’s absurd hyperbole no different from the kind the people who peddle it have arrogantly ridiculed their entire lives.

A mentally unstable person being “made” to do something by a chatbot is no different from other mentally unstable people doing bad things because they saw them in a TV show.

McGlockenshire•37m ago
No, actually, an interactive textual conversation is a significantly different thing than a television show.
lwansbrough•37m ago
You don't think there's a difference between passive entertainment and a conversation with a sycophantic enabler?

Ginevra was my favourite and the most beautiful character in the HP films. Poor Ginny. Relieved that she survived all that. One tough cookie.
binarymax•37m ago
This is really cool, but the best part is the response in the twitter post demo had an em-dash.
munificent•29m ago
> No screen glow, no keyboard, no chat UI.

Is this not just... a chat UI?

asp_hornet•19m ago
Yes, arguably a worse one because you can’t stop to think.

Doesn’t stop it from being really cool though.

newspaper1•14m ago
I would argue that it does stop it from being really cool, but I'm not a millennial and thus despise Harry Potter.
adyavanapalli•28m ago
This is soooo incredibly cool. Beyond the Tom Riddle diary aspect, I love the idea of this as a new medium for interacting with an LLM. You could gift it to someone and they could just write naturally, their thoughts, questions, notes, and get responses back without typing or speaking. It feels less like a chatbot and more like a journal you can communicate through. You could give it a personality and all.
recursive•23m ago
I've heard of Harry Potter.
newspaper1•21m ago
For those of us that hate Harry Potter, this apparently takes your written prompt and responds on the Remarkable. I think you'd have to be a fan of the series to care as otherwise this is just a really slow chat interface.
Once/if we lose understanding of the tech it will become magic/haunted artifacts.
boothby•34m ago
> it seems like a bad thing to compare inventions to haunted artifacts that mind controlled their users into betraying their friends to a powerfully evil being.

It's worked pretty well for Palantir?

devmor•25m ago
You hit on the point at the end… It’s not a bad comparison, it’s an apt one.
fjdjshsh•20m ago
I thought that was part of the appeal of this. There's something spooky and ironic about it.
