The original seems to be arguing, among other things, that the singularity has begun because AI has been employed to improve AI development tooling. I can see it both ways, but skepticism on these claims is natural and warranted. I agree with you that there's no shortage of people underestimating the importance of this moment in history.
But the whole reason it's called "the singularity" is because the "AI" improving itself is supposed to already be smarter than us, and better able to make those improvements. Thus, improvement builds on itself exponentially and we very quickly see massive changes, leading to huge new advances in science and technology.
It's not a singularity if we just get LLMs spitting out code to improve LLMs that's approximately what we could have done, just 40% faster and with 50% more bugs.
Hey, my 9 year old son uses modelrift for creating things for his 3d printer, its great! Product feedback:
1. You should probably ask me to pay now, I feel like i've used it enough.
2. You need a main dashboard page with a history of sessions. He thought he lost a file and I had to dig in the billing history to get a UUID I thought was it and generate the url. I would say naming sessions is important, and could be done with small LLM after the users initial prompt.
3. I don't think I like the default 3d model in there once I have done something, blank would be better.
We download the stl and import to bambu. Works pretty well. A direct push would be nice, but not necessary.
Thank you for this feedback, very valuable!
I am using Bambu as well - perfect to get things printed without much hassle. Not sure if direct push to printer is possible though, as their ecosystem looks pretty closed. It would be a perfect use case - if we could use ModelRift to design a model on a mobile phone and push to print..
getting this error trying to connect github:
github_unauthorized: GitHub OAuth error: The redirect_uri MUST match the registered callback URL for this application.
Looking into this, will fix this soon! GitHub auth should be working on the web app, if you try there (assuming you got this error on mobile). You can continue to use Omnara normally without signing into GitHub, you just won't be able to use the cloud syncning feature til you auth with GitHub.
This is cool, but they mentioned affordability, and said this is about $1/hour to run, which is about what I pay for claude code on $200/mo plan. This is not literally true, sometimes I'm running up to 3 concurrent intermittently throughout the day for maybe 60 hours per week.
So I do believe if there is something that comes up that is literally continuous, would be interesting, but I'm not sure about it right now. I would be curious if anyone has anything they would literally use running 24/7.
This is cool! A couple of pieces of feedback as I am looking for something in this family of things but haven't found the perfect fit:
1. I have multiple inboxes, and want to have them work on multiple.
2. I would really like to have skills and mcps visible and understandable. Craft Agents does a nice job of segmenting by workspace and making skills and mcps all visible so I can understand what exactly my agent is set up to do (no black boxes).
3. I want scheduled runs. I don't need push, I actually kind of prefer just the reliability of scheduled, but push would be fine too. In particular, I want to:
a. After each granola meeting save in obsidian (I did this in Craft Code for example, but I prefer your more built in approach here, this is nice).
b. On intervals, check my emails. I want to give it information on who/what is important to me, and ping me. E.g. billing on Anthropic failed, ping me.
c. I also want it to email back and forth to schedule with approved categories of things on request. Just get it on my calendar (share calendly, send times, etc).
d. I want junk etc archived.
e. For important things, update my knowledge graph (ignore spam, etc).
4. Tying into a to-do list that actually updates based on priorities, and suggests auto archiving things etc would be good.
In practice, i connected gmail and asked it:
"can you archive emails that have an unsubscribe link in them (that are not currently archived)?" and it got stuck on "I'll check what MCP tools are available for email operations first." But i connected gmail through your interface, and I don't see in settings anything about it also having configured the mcp?
I also looked at the knowledge graph and it had 20 entities, NONE of which I had any idea what they were. I'm guessing its just putting in people trying to spam me into the contacts? It didn't finish running, but I didn't want to burn endless tokens trying to see if it would find actual people i care about, so I shut it down. One "proxy" for "people i care about" might be "people I send emails to"? I could see how this is a hard problem. I also think regardless I want things more transparent. So for the moment, I'm sticking with Craft Code for this even though it is missing some major things but at least its more clear what it is: its claude code, with a nice UI.
Hope this was helpful. I know there are multiple people working on things in this family, and I will probably be "largely solved" by the end of 2026, and then we will want it to do the next thing! Good luck, I will watch for updates and these are some nice ideas!
Really appreciate the detailed feedback. There are bunch of great features that you are pointing out that are on our roadmap (will add whats missing). The agent can setup tasks on schedule and help manage them. You can try a prompt like 'Can you schedule a background task xyz to run every morning ...'. The background tasks would show up on the UI once it is scheduled by the assistant. However, you might have to connect the necessary MCP tools in your case.
On Gmail actions - we currently don’t take write actions on inboxes like archiving or categorizing emails. The Google connection is read-only and used purely to build the knowledge graph. We’re working on adding write actions, but we’re being careful about how we implement them. Also probably why the agent was confused and was looking for an MCP to accomplish the same job.
On noise in the knowledge graph — this is something we’re actively tuning. We currently have different note-strictness levels that auto-inferred based on the inbox volume (configurable in ~/.rowboat/config/note-creation.json) that control what qualifies as a new node. Higher strictness prevents most emails from creating new entities and instead only updates existing ones. That said, this needs to be surfaced in the product and better calibrated. Using “people I send emails to” as a proxy for importance is a really good idea.
I actually do want ads. Subtle, labeled ads. For many queries in Google, I like to know who is advertising for an intent. In may cases, that is a perfect fit. I don’t want ONLY the companies who have gamed the LLM SEO market to win.
The bull case IMO is that you can just produce very standardized ai satellites, load them into Starship, blast them off and have them work. And that the cost of that versus permitting etc will be less than trying to do it on land. I kind of believe it could get there. We could build nuclear reactors next to giant facilities but...we can't really seem to do it in the US? China seems to be able to do it.
PS. I think the authors argument that millions of satellites might run into each other is silly. There are like 1.5 B cars.
Same, it's nice to use a no-BS CDN for personal projects (e.g. https://atlasof.space/). Their pricing is good and I actually appreciate that they have no free tier so that there's no "oh shit" moment when you suddenly exceed it and owe real $$$ (looking at you, Netlify). I probably won't use their database feature but I'll for sure keep using their CDN if they can keep things as straightforward as they currently are.
