This is incredibly bizarre. I feel like the problem with modern interfaces isn’t that “everything is an app” it’s that companies making their apps don’t actually care about convenience, accessibility, or intuitiveness. They are targeting more purchases, or subscriptions and if that means sacrificing or forcing the design of a GUI to have dark patterns they’ll do it.

I do like the concept of this as an accessibility tool for people with limited mobility, but I also think we should be encouraging that on the OS and app developers end. I think accessibility is one of the few things AI could be used for on a daily basis. As a sort of stop gap.

Wow, for once a teenage engineering product where the price seems to actually make sense.

Weird. I already feel like my phone is out of my control & I have to wrestle control back with 3rd party OSs, open source apps, etc. Surrendering the last bit of control I still have to black box LLMs (& LAMs) seems opposite to the direction I want to go.

(The teenage engineering design is cool though)

Is teenage engineering the new slogan for child labor?

Who’s going to tell them a rabbit is a style of vibrator.
