Not exactly security-related, but I can't help wondering... why don't these family members just *talk* to each other about their movie plans or travel memories? Why doesn't this guy just pop upstairs and peek into his kid's room to see if he's asleep, like a normal person? (Tangentially, why does a Microsoft VP use an exclusively Apple-based setup for his personal computing?) This seems to me like an overly technologically fetishized way to conduct one's private life. But then I'm not a tech VP, what would I know 🤷‍♀️

@ssilvonen I have no shade to throw at families using a family calendar; when my kids were in high school and my wife and I still traveled for work occasionally, etc. it was the only way to have a source of truth that people could rely on. It was especially helpful to tell the teenagers "if it's not on the calendar, I don't know about it" to avoid those "oh, but you were supposed to drive me to $thing, didn't I tell you? Oh, well, I really need a ride now." And so on.

I don't advocate for putting an LLM in the middle of all that, of course, but there is much to be said for putting family plans on a shared calendar and making it an expectation that every member checks said calendar. It doesn't replace conversation and such, but it sure can cut down on a lot of problems.

@jzb Oh yes, family calendars can be very useful, and printed ones have been around long before computers (we actually have one hanging in our kitchen right now). It's just the use of AI to mediate between family members using the same calendar that feels unnecessary and contrived to me. But of course this is a new development and this guy is clearly very excited about his current setup - it would be interesting to know if he can actually make it stick and how things are going a year from now.
