They've been slowly cutting them off of updates and/or taking them off the app store entirely.
replySee Anywhere and Replit. Anywhere was the #1 or #2 app and was taken off the app store entirely before being put on and then taken off again.
Last I checked, Replit hasn't received an update on the iOS app store in over two months due to reviews denying them.
Can't be just a SaaSpocolypse. LLMs with the right harness could obliterate much of the TODO+ apps with a general assistant.
replyBut it's more likely it's just walled garden + security theatre that'll keep them from allowing outside apps.
Wouldn't trust AI to run TODO, especially weak models. They can hallucinate tasks, forget to remind etc.
replyLLMs are stateless. But given an actual database of task-shaped items and some work, I could see the potential.
replyWith a canonical source of truth, and set input/output expectations, the potential blast radius is quite small.
And the end results is.....? What? A todo app that takes 16GB of RAM?
replyNothing that Mac and Windows users aren't already used to.
replyIt’s tempting to be flippant about MacOS/windows but in all seriousness, the resources required for an LLM to do the job of a typical lighter weight app/software is a serious consideration. No amount of bloat matches what an LLM needs.
reply> No amount of bloat matches what an LLM needs.
replyI don't think that's necessarily true. For instance, LinkedIn uses more memory than Gemma E2B inference does.
LinkedIn is an entirely different category and an extreme case at that. We’re not talking about LLM’s replacing LinkedIn either. It’s an entirely different comparison/discussion.
replyFinally, we've fully documented the Singularity-is-actually-just-bloated software.
