Or :gasp: take less profit. The game will take in Billions especially if they release new versions like GTA5 over time.

Hello! Parent that's fully aware of this. My son has access to a landline and it solves the problem of tech as a tool vs a past time. If he thinks of his friend, he calls, friends reach out etc. No scrolling for something to do. I see my phone usage and am constantly trying to introduce friction into it. This is an extension of that concept.

It's way too easy to export your context for this to be real. I moved away from ChatGPT from Gemini months ago and haven't thought of it. Paid.

Does Openwork replace the need for openclaw? Seems like a more grown up version of it.

I've been been using OpenClaw for a bit now and the thing I'm missing is observability. What's this thing thinking/doing right now? Where's my audit log? Every rewrite I see fails to address this.

I feel Elixir and the BEAM would be a perfect language to write this in. Gateways hanging, context window failures exhaustion can be elegantly modeled and remedied with supervision trees. For tracking thoughts, I can dump a process' mailbox and see what it's working on.

I tried Coder yesterday with OpenCode... didn't have a great experience. Got caught in a loop reading a single file over and over again until the context filled up. GLM 4.7 has been crushing it so far. One's thinking and other isn't so that's part of it I'm sure.

Not crazy about it. It keeps getting stuck in a loop and filling up the context window (131k, run locally). Kimi's been nice, even if a bit slow.

Going to try this over Kimi k2.5 locally. It was nice but just a bit too slow and a resource hog.

I'll give it a shot. For me it's (promise) is about removing friction. Using the Unix philosophy of small tools, you can send text, voice, image, video to an LLM and (the magic I think) it maintains context over time. So memory is the big part of this.

The next part that makes this compelling is the integration. Mind you, scary stuff, prompt injection, rogue commands, but (BIG BUT) once we figure this out it will provide real value.

Read email, add reminder to register dog with the township, or get an updated referral from your doctor for a therapist. All things that would normally fall through the cracks are organized and presented. I think about all the great projects we see on here, like https://unmute.sh/ and love the idea of having llms get closer to how we interact naturally. I think this gets us closer to that.

Is there any way to do this with Android? I'd wish to get a modern snappy phone with a great camera but completely locked down.

I've been using a BigMe HiBreak pro and it's pretty good! I have had issues with the usb port but after removing some cruft I really like it. Easy on the eyes, full android and I can watch videos in a pinch.

I find it makes it easier to do something else with my free time.
