Linus Lee Is Living With AI

Linus is an independent researcher focused on building better interfaces for people to interact with generative AI models. He wants to replace today’s prompt-based interfaces with affordances that provide greater predictability and control—things like pinch-to-zoom or drag-and-drop interactions for AI. 

My conclusion is that there are definitely corner cases where it’s useful to double-bracket, but for 90% of the cases, it’s possible to do it automatically by detecting semantic similarity. 

Text is the most ubiquitous and the least user-friendly interface to information that we have. We have plots, we have graphs, we have tables. All of these are great. They are optimized for various different kinds of things for different uses. 

Text is not optimized for anything at all. It's just a thing that we inherited from 3,000 years a
