I phrased that wrong, in my first comment I was just poking fun at how companies are adding LLMs to everything for the sake of it, like:

1. Add LLM integrations
2. ???
3. Profit

And they aren’t doing anything innovative either, they just act as a middleman between you and OpenAI/Google/etc.

It looks like Kagi assistant is one of those rare cases where the LLM integration does actually make sense, but I don’t think paying $15 more is much better than just opening chatgpt.com in a second tab

Yeah, ik. I just said ChatGPT because there are more people who know what that is than people who also know the term LLMs

Yeah, this happened to me too

I replaced my old proprietary gender with a free and open source one

Polish (my native language) and english (duh). I also want to learn lojban for fun, but I keep procrastinating

I just skimmed through the podcast so I might be wrong, but it looks like the subscription would only cover updates to their AI “features”:

‘[…] is there a vision beyond “the software will do more for you” than just drive your mouse around?’

[…] Should the mouse do more than just move the cursor? Absolutely. And it does that today, and I think similarly about being more productive with shortcuts to the large language models and all kinds of other things. The guy that I met at a barbecue over the weekend who has programmed 120 shortcuts on his mouse, that’s the kind of stuff that can extend human potential in ways that are healthier.

Yeah, apparently the subscription for the mouse would be on top of the upfront cost. I’m honestly baffled that Logitech’s CEO thinks anyone would buy it, this feels like an april fools joke

This is so absurd. The only updates peripherals need are firmware bug fixes. And it’s a standard that these updates are free. Having subscriptions for hardware is kinda dystopic tbh

From the podcast:

Some only have a mouse or only a keyboard, but many of them have both. But the thing that shocked me was that the average spend on that globally is $26, which is really so low. This is stuff you use every day, that sits on your desk every day, that you look at every day. That’s like the price of four coffees at Starbucks or less than a Nike running shirt. There is so much room to create more value in that space as we make people more productive — to extend human potential.

You know why on average people spend so little? Because a mouse is just a mouse. It doesn’t need to do anything besides controlling the cursor. It doesn’t need a “dedicated AI button that launches Logi AI Prompt Builder” (which is just a ChatGPT wrapper btw)

I don’t want to be that one person that just complains about capitalism under every post, but things like this make it hard. We have already perfected the design of a mouse. But every year publicly traded companies need to make more money than in the previous year, so let’s add subscriptions to everything. And also AI, because investors love it

TIL about aphantasia

Anyways, I’m between 1 - 2, and I just wanted to say that just bc I can visualize things in my head doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy seeing things with my eyes. If I was good at drawing, I definitely would draw my OCs and such

But no, I don’t watch adult videos. I just don’t really like nsfw. Maybe I’m asexual or smt, idk

FINALLY someone gets this. I don’t care about the “premium look” whatever that means, I just don’t want my phone to break when I accidentally drop it. Which is why I always put a case on my phone

In fact, I’m pretty sure phone manufacturers started putting glass on the back of phones specifically to make them less durable so that customers buy a new phone sooner

Alice in Wonder1and

I’ve read the article and damn, this is disturbing af. Isn’t this pig killing method basically the same as what nazi used on humans?

…I’ll try to reduce the amount of meat in my diet

I’m pretty sure the requirements are so high because (at least for now) the AI that will process the screenshots and search queries will run locally

Yeah it won’t be in regular PCs anytime soon, since this feature apparently requires

1. 256 GB of SSD
2. 16 GB of RAM
3. An “NPU” which AFAIK most computers don’t have
4. Windows 11

But the point is that they market Recall as this great new premium feature when it’s actually very dystopic. Even if you trust Microsoft that it’s gonna be entirely local (which I don’t), there are lots of other things that could go wrong. Like Recall having your passwords/private conversations/stuff under NDAs in it’s database, bugs that could potentially leak the data, malware whose purpose is to exploit it to get access to everything you do on your computer, or a government forcing Microsoft to add a backdoor edit: damn I’ve read this like 10 times before replying and just realized that you did say that the Recall feature sucks
