There's something unsettling about AI laughing at its own jokes during a voice conversation, especially when the laughter doesn't even appear in the transcript. I understand wanting AI to feel conversational, but making it seem like there's someone inside it is extremely creepy
When interviewing designers, they'd often ask, "What kept you here so long?" and I'd say I could count on one hand the days I woke up not wanting to go to work. FSQ was such a special place, full of special people. I'll be telling stories about those years for the rest of my life
