This is what would display if someone vibe-coded a dashboard.

Relatively speaking the globe would revolve around you as you are the center of your perception.

As a resident of the UK, the international Eyes coallitions are unfortunately unavoidable for me, so that is mostly moot.

But I agree with everything else, especially the AI API, I would consider allowing a local open-source and open-weight SLM access to my inbox for summarisations / weekly digests, among various other ideas.

Been using Fastmail for a couple years now, previously bouced between Proton and Tuta.

I cannot fault Fastmail, yes, like the name suggests, it is fast (sending is almost instant and new email comes through quickly too), but their features for inbox sorting, rules, and custom domains is incredble.

I have my own domain name that I wildcard in Fastmail, which means I can enter whateverthefuckIwant@domain.com and it’ll be delivered.

Then I have several rules set-up to autotag depending on the address the email is going to.

Their interface is slick, easy to use, not too cramped and not too spacious, lovely contrast, just pleasant to be in.

All of that, along with a calendar with easy CalDAV support, notes in Markdown, and generous cloud storage which I mainly use for file transfer between my devices make the £5.40 I spend on it monthly an absolute steal.

It’s great actually!

Before, I would make my coffee before turning on my computer, now I can streamline this as with Windows my computer isn’t ready until my coffee is too, saving me valuable minutes.

And right when I’m in the middle of my work, I’ll get exciting pop-ups about the new AI capabilities coming to Office 365, far beyond what LibreOffice could ever dream of. I didn’t even ask for the adverts, they just feed me new content all the time!

Most of my work now involves prompting Copilot and waiting for it’s response, downloading Windows Updates, or waiting for my Google Chrome with it’s own bundled 4GB AI model to install. With that much waiting, I’ve increased my coffee consumption 5x so far this week, hit my move goal 3x over every day (I go for a short 20 mile hike while the Updates download), and generated some absolutely hilarious images with ChatGPT and my friends!

And this is it too, I feel safe knowing that if needs be, the proper authorities and Microsoft can access my device’a data to help catch terrorists and protect the children.

Besides, what have I got to hide anyway?

This came exactly when I needed it, thank you, recently my computer has been too fast for my liking, and I felt like I controlled something I owned (which is just too much responsibility for me right now), and all of that was solved when I replaced my OS with Windows. Glory to Microsoft, forced updates, Copilot, and outdated code!

And I think that’s because everyone is very well written and has a full profile rather than being one-or-two dimensional good/evil.

Not at all, it’s a Markdown file, plaintext. You just instruct your agent to assimilate that file into it’s context.

Trust me my code aint worthy of being “art”.

If yours is, I totally get where you’re coming from, AI-generated code is pretty bad right now, albeit it does often work.

The way I often do things is have an agent create a rough first implementation according to my own architecture, so I have done all that high-level thinking that it currently struggles with; then I have a dedicated improvement agent come and clear that up substantially, and then I review whatever is left.

Which, yeah, isn’t great, but I stand with my intsance’s viewpoint on generative AI:

In other words, we’re not against Generative AI as a technology but we are against Generative AI as promoted by capitalism and corporate interests. To put this into perspective, it’s like saying: We’re not against using camera equipment, but we’re against the surveillance industry.

Just a lot homonculi people see AI and start screaming “AI slop” from the hilltops.

Grow up.

It does exist, but its small and separate from the “conglomonet”, if you will.
