I honestly think we should not make computers even more "magical" and difficult to understand than they already are.
I also never understood what OS vendors have against files and folders. It was one of the metaphors that caught on really well with non-technical users and allowed them to establish their own ordering system, much like you would establish a system in your home.
I feel that removing this and forcing everything into a flat space is contributing to clutter and chaos, not reducing it.
I'd like to know how this OS would answer the simple question "where is my data, what is stored on this device?"
Oh and also of course: What does this OS do if Claude is offline?
To me, this seems like yet another attempt to make LLMs feel like they are relevant to all corners of life. Relying on any agent to keep my personal laptop organized seems like a nightmare of over-dependence where it’s definitely not needed.
I remember the HN comments back when it came out , I think most (I remember) were quite critical whether it would actual work could ever be done one it. Well, at the present state of AI, I think many probably revisit their opinion.
I'm confused, is this an operating system or an application? Surely an aspiring operating system would be concerned with more than just the very top of the abstraction stack, like hardware support and various abstraction APIs. Or is this more like the Rabbit r1 / Humane Ai Pin where the "operating system" turned out to be one APK running on AOSP in kiosk mode?
Unrelated to its current use, but wow, this domain sure has a rich history. The first WA snapshot is from 1998!

waow
How's that joke go? A fancy Notes app is the Stairway to Heaven of software development?
