On one hand, I think this project is super cool and something I would use and/or would have loved to build myself for my own use.

On the other hand, it makes me wonder if we’re just heading for a future where everyone is just always working, at all times, even while doing other things.

“Wow look at our daughter taking her first steps! She’s doing so… wait hold on… No, Claude. I said to name the class “potatoes”, not “‘pot’ followed by eight ‘O’s,” you dumb robot!”

I don't disagree, but I think there is the otherside of that same coin... What if we could do other stuff while remaining productive.

Rather than the example of missing first steps, what if we had, "Ok Claude, prepare a few slides for my presentation, I'm going to watch my childs mid-day recital..." maybe you get a success/failure ping and maybe even need to step out for part of the event, but in another world you couldn't have gone at all.

we kind of already are with our phones and Slack, the difference at this point is negligible. i personally won't have airpods in 24/7 with my kid (or ever) so if i were doing something like this, it would be through my phone, which is already something i use fairly often. not too much difference there IMO (at least anecdotally speaking)
