There's SO MUCH MORE TO DO at home or with close friends, coupled with everything else already said in the other comments, that it just doesn't meet the threshold of enjoyment or need it once felt like it did.


Yes, SO MUCH NETFLIX to watch. I'd write a longer comment but the next episode is already starting.

Great point. It's fascinating that the trend of the pop music industry has been towards more and more electronic control over vocals and instruments and everything else for a very long time... and now that AI can basically replicate it, and with all the auto-tune that we got used to, we can barely tell if it's 'real' or AI-generated.


I don't think this is accurate -- overt autotune in pop music peaked in the 00's, and has really not been as influential in the pop trends of the last decade or two.

Many of the most popular artists today lean away from heavy electronic control, and go for a more acoustic/natural sound.

I think that the AI vocals becoming indistinguishable from the real thing has more to do with the quality of the AI, and less to do with modern pop music sounding robotic.


Name a singpe pop tune without pitch correction in the last 20 years. A few exist, but go look. It will be enlightening, and perhaps disheartening.


Autotune and pitch correction are not the same thing. The majority of recent pop songs don't have a noticeable electronic vocal control in the way that the parent comment is describing.

The autotuned vocal style generally peaked in popularity a couple decades ago, and is much less common now (with many of the current top pop artists opting for more organic vocals).


It's almost like the capital/distribution forces of mass market media have been striving to devalue the human components of the art...

... but I can't imagine why that'd be attractive to them.


Thanks, this convinced me to give this a try!


Been using it for a couple months, and Jordi keeps improving on it at a steady clip. It's great!!


Since we have no eyes into the Custom Instructions - and while i personally haven't tested WHEN it takes these custom instructions into account, it says this before you use them: "Your instructions will be added to new conversations going forward, and you can edit or delete them at any time."

So, is it POSSIBLE that the custom instructions editing could have caused this, and there are weird instructions being changed between chats?


Shared chats based on custom instructions have a clear disclaimer at the top.


My 14yr old daughter sent me this screenshot the other day with the comment "I think that one sentence sums up twitter pretty well".

I see a giant circle around like 10 sentences, none of which feel like the sum up twitter in any way? After some consideration I guess maybe you're referring to "What's happening?"


Fair enough - the sentence in question was indeed 'What's Happening?'


Your 14 y/o daughter is fired.

I tried to point this out below. It's not even a DDoS, it's fake news.

it's a 429 error, so the developer who posted this is an idiot. they're not even wrong. the 429 doesn't even touch twitter's infrastructure. the HTTPS TLS terminates at a Google VM, which gets relayed depending on the VIP used to hit it, but the traffic never gets past that Google VM. This is literally /HOW/ companies deal with DDOS.

it's unbelievable that my median salary for the past decade is $3,000 after several years of "Startup" followed by "How to Start a Reboot of My Life"


> "What's happening?"

That's a very good question.


Fyi, on mobile the image doesn't load and the download link is broken.


Loads fine for me on Firefox Android (but I don't get which sentence is supposed to sum up Twitter).


Editor's Choice?


This looks great! I was about to start learning and diving into Obsidian about a month ago, finally driven to begin building a personal knowledgebase...

And then I found Mem.ai and dove into that instead, and i've been extremely happy with it. It accomplishes this aspect he's offering here (where it uses your knowledgebase to assist in your writing). However, it's also got built in chat with your knowledgebase, and helps with auto-sorting and all of that.

For those that want their data on their computer, I totally see why Obsidian is the most desirable. So this sort of addition would be the best of both worlds for them.


I'm not sure a offline-first document editor is comparable to a hosted SaaS about AI. This plugin is one of many, while mem.ai is non-customizable tool where someone else owns your data and seems to offer no data portability.


I was excited about Mem a few years ago. But was disappointed they did not support math/MathJax notation ($…$) despite millions raised.


How does notion compare?


I haven't used Notion, but in my research its AI feature is only the Smart Write/Edit that Mem has - tho I am unsure how well it uses the rest of the content you have inside of Notion, as their sales page doesn't really make that clear.

Mem.ai has integrated many aspects into it - I love that I am now unconcerned about tags or folders or categories.


This was really good!


Isn't there some 'reason' why any company becomes the lead platform? It's silly to say Apple is less special because they too, had a reason.


It's incomparable - in that Sketch is far better prepared for it. Photoshop has never been aimed at that, any the ways people make it happen are sort of 'hacks' they discovered to get to what they need to do.

Sketch has been developed from the ground up as a Screen design tool, and it shows.
