Yep, I think the guy who’ll make the GUI for LLMs is the next Jobs/Gates/Musk and Nobel Prize Winner (I think it’ll solve alignment by having millions of eyes on the internals of LLMs), because computers became popular only after the OS with a GUI appeared. I just started ASK HN to let people and me share their AI safety ideas, both crazy and not: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43332593
What you describe seems to be OpenAI’s “moat”. They currently are the farthest ahead in app UX for nontechnical users and in Brand Recognition. It doesn’t matter if they are 10% behind Anthropic in frontier model quality if Claude For Mac is a shitty Electron app.
I miscommunicated( I meant new 3D game-like UIs. There can be a whole new OS full apps that represent multimodal LLMs in human-familiar ways. All the UI now is what I consider commandline-like. They are like a strict librarian that only spits quotes, no one allows you to truly enter the library. We need better 3D and even “4D” long exposure photo like UIs
Claude for Mac works quite well for me, and now with these MCP servers looking better than ever. And regarding electron - I have seen (and created for myself) awesome apps that would never existed without it.
MCP servers work only on desktop app. Otherwise I don't mind using web app. On the desktop version I miss I can not have (at least i didn't figure it out) multiple conversations open at once. So I use web a lot.

I got what you mean. People have said cryptocurrencies are one UX revolution away from mainstream adoption since its inception. The reality was/is, it’s a solution in search of a problem.
