Play with omou. There’s a full interactive demo live on omou.app now.

@justin_schueler iOS Native Dictation 🤫

Is there a free, similar version for mobile? Not gonna pay for a subscription to have a local llm translate my ramble (: handy.computer

at least it is b(l)ack

The X iOS App remove the dark mode option completely and now everything is too bright :( but at least i will open the app less often :)

WE LISTEN AND WE DONT JUDGE. So tell us.

Silicon Valley was really so ahead of their time

This is a wonderful video. It's something I've been thinking about quite a bit (long essay incoming eventually). But to keep it "short": 1. YES, AI feels like a drug. And it is hard to be like "Monday's I don't take drugs, but Wednesdays I do". You're either all in, or you aren't. But.... 2. ... I do think all this affects engineering a lot more than my profession, which is a mix of Design, Marketing, Strategy, Branding etc. — I am still able to use AI as my bitch for the boring parts, but use my brain for the important and exciting parts. And I will do my best to keep it this way, mainly because in my line of work, people hire me for MY opinion and MY unique POV and not the statistical average LLM output they could get otherwise themselves. It's also important to point out that we all get different meanings from different parts of work. For example, as a designer myself I always saw engineering as the necessary evil. I don't care what the code looks like, as long as it runs fast, reliant and secure. However I understand that for some engineers, there's an art to it. And I can imagine, for many engineers design used to be the necessary evil, because they don't see in it what I see in it. This is of course a larger conversation, but generally we tend to value things differently. And I think this is one of the most important parts to mention: DO NOT use AI to automate or take away the joy for THE THING you used to have. Because if you do this, you will eventually lose your joy entirely. I try to use AI for the things I do NOT want to do. Why would you try to automate yourself out of a job you love doing? But again, this is difficult because as Mo mentioned in the video, he could of course keep writing code at his speed, but its the worst economical decision he could make. I get it, its a truly difficult time if your meaning was derived from writing code. I am not so sure what the solution is here, because its not as easy as it is with writing or designing, which carry inherently more meaning by default to the average person. 3. YES, if I work with AI for a couple days, and AI only, I start to lose my sense of care. I become detached in some very weird way in which I could theoretically just automate everything and remove my sense of pride from my work. This is a very dangerous place to get into (at least for me), and if all you care about is making money (no matter how you get it) and you're not in it for the passion, then this is likely the best path you will take because it makes the most sense from an efficiency standpoint. In fact, you will find many designers and engineers on this platform who are this kind of person, but there are also people who play games with cheats and have fun while doing it. There are also car dealers who sell cars and don't care about people or cars. You can find these examples anywhere and that's just how it is. It's simply just a different perspective on life, and everyone's different here. And I don't think there's necessarily a right or wrong way, you have to decide that for yourself. 4. Little fun fact: I remember when I spent a lot of time in VR a couple years ago. There was a term many people talked about which was something like a "VR existential hangover". It was a really weird feeling when you used VR for a couple hours everyday, and then you went back into real life, you felt sort of depressed, detached, and it took you a day or so to snap back into yourself. With AI, I feel similar sometimes. When I work with it too much, I have a similar feeling for a day or two and its really strange. I almost can't explain it, its like some brain fog and I think its just related to not using my brain or body in the natural way. 5. I also noticed that whenever I use AI for design work, I never really feel proud of what I do. I could be doing the most impressive 3D rendering (where I had to hire a 3D designer before) and I directed it entirely the way I'd direct a 3D designer, but the feeling I have afterwards is.... nothing, haha, I truly don't care. I made it, its done, moving on. And I think this feeling of I don't care is dangerous when it happens too often. There is no real reward feeling in my brain anymore, because I can now do anything I want, whenever I want, and its not really hard either. These are just some random thoughts from someone who's still thinking, you have to excuse me. Similar to Mo in his video, I am not sure where I stand. AI is very much integrated in my flow now, a lot of things have gotten easier, faster, more meaningless too. I am not anti-AI, and don't want to be. The same way I'm not anti-technology, because I'd be making my life unnecessarily hard if I'd take that stance. But I do sometimes wonder, just for myself, where am I going?

Every morning

@justin_schueler non-tech /-male people care more about the economy than just themselves. x is targeting profit oriented peeps, no matter what. showing skills/software becomes similar to having big cars/money. non-tech/-male people mostly dont care about this.

While my little mail experiment is getting an unusual amount of traction – which I genuinely appreciate – it’s also a bit depressing to see that on this platform it’s literally 99.9% men engaging with it. It’s interesting, but sadly not surprising. I know there are many factors at play here. Still, it feels like a pretty accurate mirror of the whole “techbro” domination. There’s no magic switch for this, and it’s obviously a complex topic, but it’s honestly just sad to see.

Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.

enough (2s) X for today, only imposter triggering here lol

Every day: wake up. Check X. New crazy AI shit drops. Anxiety. Back to bed. Repeat.

important slack update, something we all requesting for years /s

@Weavy_ai 132k credits lets gooooo

What happens when an AI system is forced to guess, and what happens when it’s fed with what it truly needs? Watch Ron’s latest tutorial and see the importance of context at play. Thinking about your desired outputs makes feeding the system crystal clear. This tutorial covers: 1. Why AI systems fail when they’re missing context 2. How to define the output first, then design inputs around it 3. How brand guidelines, visual references, and testing rules shape results 4. How to generate multiple controlled variations 5. How system prompts turn randomness into repeatable behavior Check our the workflow featured in this video: tinyurl.com/3xxymx43

I built a free tool to expose real fees across Stripe, Paddle, LemonSqueezy, Gumroad, Creem, Dodo, Polar. I put all major payment gateways in one calculator. Some take WAY more than you think. jeeiee.com/payment-calcul…

What's the best Wispr Flow alternative? Ideally something using a local model.
