You know, I see many different big names in the ML field shooting for a personal 'assistant' or something like that. For whatever reason I have always thought what would be preferable would be an advocate. A being that would always have your back and be watching out for your best self and for you in general, preventing you from getting screwed by someone trying to make an information asymmetry play or trying to access your data. Somehow I worry that most big companies aren't going to be trying to create something that puts the user first. I'd love to be wrong.
- __Joker 11y agoI too hope that there would some Linux equivalent in the personal assistant space. It simply runs on my machine/mobile with my data, and I am totally in control of it. Currently this seems little intractable for availability of data and personal computing power but I hope these will be a lesser concern another decade in future.
