It really bums me out that I keep seeing blog posts from technical people like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of LLMs, I'm interested in evaluating whether they can be useful for my work."

Like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical concerns of breaking into my neighbours' houses, I'm interested in evaluating whether this can be useful for acquiring other people's valuables."

My desktop/local media player made with Godot is now complete enough that I use it daily to play music. There's a bunch of compromises in using a game engine to make a GUI app, but overall I'm pretty impressed. It's all fairly abstracted and high-level and yet performance is great without much tweaking. I'm going to write a blog post about it sometime soon.

It's been a while, so please allow me some self-promotion...

@belle and I make a bunch of apps, the main one being Exist. It's for tracking data about your life and habits to have everything in one place. We find trends and correlations to show how things affect your mood, sleep, etc. Folks have found it helpful for better understanding mental and chronic health conditions, but it's also useful if you just like tracking stuff. We don't sell your data, no "AI", etc. If it sounds interesting, please give it a try to help us pay our rent :)
