This sounds brilliant and I see no immediate reason why something like this shouldn't be useful for most software ecosystems. Also, in addition to the pure security perspective of this I also have a feeling that it might become a usefu

If you live in EU or EEC I wonder if this isn't covered by GDPR? Aren't companies required to have a way to get a manual review of anything an AI does? And aren't they also to safeguard your data? I'm not a GDPR expert b

Ok, now I see. I actually agree with that point. I'd like to mention though that one model I really liked was what the one that Google landed on with Google+: a central identity only known to one entity and then as many pseudonyms as y

Ok, so I had to dig out an old blog post: https://techinorg.blogspot.com/2010/04/swithing-to-mac-one-y... So it wasn't jumping between words it was home/end.

Seems I am not alone. I have recently started to use it for personal things though, but again just things that I can use all the time in the world for. I tried installing a dev environment on it and it was instant frustration.

We had a somewhat beloved chatbot at work, but we are of course a consulting company. And it is gone now and replaced with a much more effective app, my point is just that it clearly possible to make chatbots that aren't rage inducing.
