It is kind of fascinating how much convergence there is in branding of AI products. Muse seems to be the one outlier in that the assistant is a little less abstract (and the model logo less buttholesque) but other than that it's almost all converged. Anyone have a theory why that is?

Surprised people are comparing to muse. Meta reputation is terrible within HN audience, so for people to use their AI agent as an example feels like “muse generated” argument. Unless the sentiment has change quite recent and I missed it

It would have been neat if they cooperatively updated the board meeting deck using the sensory activity board. The giant dial is similar to our Tonieplay.

So... what kind of Internet access do dots have? Which bulletin boards will they use to compare notes?

I want that, but running on my own hardware with the models I choose. Does it exist?

https://blackbear.app, give me a few more weeks for the "always on" agents, but yeah, this is way more private and secure. runs locally on your hardware with the models you choose.

Dots are remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.

They're probably over-selling there. I hope. If they're not, a lot of people will be unemployed soon.

When did we become so dystopian? I can't watch commercials of these things anymore

The way that this is marketed at children is nothing short of evil.

Does this basically do what Instinct does? (viral text-only agent w/$10B valuation in short notice)

Also why do we need another name for agents? It's getting to be too much...

“Agent” is the type of product, like “car.” “Dot” is the name of the product, like “Helix.”
