Taylor Rogalski: quip had a nice chat-as-changelog-alongside-artifact pattern https://www.smartsheet.com/sites/default/files/2020-02/5cba0c3ca6e1a17be8045cc0.jpg

Andy Matuschak: This is my #1 favorite UI + AI paper! https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1807184115

00:27:18.199,00:27:21.199

Andy Matuschak: (the Jeff Heer one)

Maggie Appleton: I forget if mentioned in the call notes, but Adpet's latest release very relevant here: https://www.adept.ai/blog/experiments

00:46:44.369,00:46:47.369

Maggie Appleton: At the moment it's essentially keyboard maestro in the browser, but the unreleased stuff they're working on much more interesting and includes lots of on the fly UIs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAy_GHUAICw

Andy Matuschak: ^ this is new to me—thank you, will watch!

00:57:02.054,00:57:05.054

Maggie Appleton: @Geoffrey have you written anywhere about those hypothetical primitives of a world where we're generating UIs? Want to think about that more

00:57:30.416,00:57:33.416

Geoffrey Litt: hmm i dont think so;  maybe soon :)

00:57:45.575,00:57:48.575

Maggie Appleton: 👍 please do

Maggie Appleton: Walking treadmill is a sad solution to that dream ;)

01:01:29.100,01:01:32.100

Tim Urian: for real!

01:01:53.136,01:01:56.136

Geoffrey Litt: Currently 1% of people make software; getting to 10% would be huge progress. 100% not necessary!

01:01:58.290,01:02:01.290

Andy Matuschak: ++

Gabriel Nunes: The problem of adapting data between interfaces for malleable software was the subject of my master’s thesis (not AI though): https://www.kronopath.com/blog/atypical-a-differently-optimized-type-system/
