all the investment and BS talk aside, yeah i guess it would be nice to be able to do content based search, it's just that it's not worth the cost right now and it has to be local only. i don't want to share my private files with no fucking third party especially some cloud based AI tech startup. absolutely fuck right off.

We'd be better off giving that money to HaikuOS and improving BeFS.

First sentence had me thinking this was gonna be a onion like joke about needing to improve the file explorer with AI

come into a thread about some dipshit startup and wind up enjoying a discussion on the political economy of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I love hexbear

It's going to be ai slop that doesn't work right, this is like reinventing the road.

Nah the desktop metaphor has done untold amounts of damage to our relationship with computers and how we think about files. I'm all for getting rid of it in favor or something else. You shouldn't need a suite of programs outside of a file browser to deal with meta data and it should include tags by now.

Be mad at the startup "disruption" culture and VC funding, but the idea is sound. Your computer doesn't have to be a digital version of an office. Your files are not in a digital filing cabinet. It's not the best way to do it. It's just the way that was chosen by Apple and Microsoft.

When you search for “dog”, it should show you content with dogs in it, not just files with “dog” in the name!

In reality you're lucky if it can actually find every file with dog in the name, I have an extra program for that lol
