- #2tweet "Canny" would be a pretty good name for a startup making AI voice customer support that feels and sounds totally realistic

- I'm literally this guy sometimes but for social interactions.
- oh shit, it is occurring to me that insofar as someone's work happens IN a browser, then to a large extent the puzzle is to create a virtual WORLD (not in a VR sense, although,,,) that does not merely REPRESENT the work needing to be done but PRESENTS it
- ie obsoleting to-do lists by simply being interact-with-able state, like a messy room
- this is an ecstatically cool premise but I think in practice it breaks down for many reasons
- some work IS representational; it's the manipulation of representations
- some work needs to be represented differently to different people
- altho in this sense also a messy room is also a representation, not just a presentation
- insofar as you need to store information about the vision/target/goal/aim/reflev/reference level, not just the current state of the work-in-progress... well, that's necessarily going to be a representation! you can present the work-in-progress but you can only represent the envisioned state
- huh, that's a wild insight
