Lots of things. But one I am coming back to is called Malten (https://malten.com). It was essentially a place for me to blackhole my thoughts anonymously rather than putting them on twitter. Recently as I've seen ChatGPT take off it's made me revisit the project and create an integration for it (not yet publicly hosted). Ideally I'd just be able to voice my thoughts to an AI now in a private manner. Let's see.

Out of curiosity, what do you hope the AI will do with your thoughts?

  • A cheaper form of therapy. Therapists are mostly mirroring your own thoughts or helping you see things you can't see. Ideally you have something that can just listen and echo your thoughts back or acknowledge them, without the need to pay $100/hour.
