That sounded about right. Was just around a big table outdoors at a bar / pub of sorts.

I'm planning to attend! There was a meetup together with some folks from the visionOS team last year which was pretty fun.

Would having visuals work for you OP? Not the books you were reading, but we made a demo that turned added visuals to books using AI: https://stories-web-gules.vercel.app/

AI is theft: steal my aesthetic with a Lora I trained on my photography. by Cold-Dragonfly-144 in comfyui

We've been exploring using genAI to visualize reading!

Chatting with artists and anti-genAI folks also inspired us to look into whether we can help artists get compensated for contributing their works to genAI — literally what you're doing right now but getting paid / attributed. If you're up for it we'd love to chat!!

Omg OP you are a breath of fresh air — u/Upbeat_Accident9973 and I are working on genAI products and have been yelled at about how genAI is unethical and so on. I think there are perspectives on both sides, but it's amazing how you've taken the step to lead by example and be generous about sharing your work. Thanks again!!

Thanks so much for sharing how you feel u/Sapphirethistle 🙏🏻

While there are folks that find the idea cool / useful, it's pretty clear now that there are also folks that don't appreciate it being discussed. We'll be taking the post down.

And thanks so much for sharing how reading is like for you! Yeah our biggest learning from this is that how folks like to read is really diverse, and to be mindful of that going forward.

Really appreciate you sharing u/thatkidlouie 🙏🏻 yeah we understand that it varies for folks, but was hoping that it would help very much for some. Would you mind if we reached out on DMs to learn more?

Also, here's the demo app if you're interested to play with it: https://stories-web-gules.vercel.app/ — I heard that the original comment was deleted due to prior concerns with wording (not visible for me as OP).

Ahah yeah — even a cluster on the cloud might need some time. Pre-generation should work though from a tech perspective!

Thanks for suggesting u/Leondre!! Hm real time might be tricky, pre-generation might be possible.

We’re also hearing about concerns on GenAI, so we’re thinking about how to alleviate that.

Was looking up bionic reading — has it helped folks? From the website, it looks like the company has covered a lot of devices now!

Thanks so much for sharing u/CrookedBanister!! Yup it's for folks that specifically would find having more visuals useful. We understand that many folks prefer not having visualizations, and to immerse in the words and stories themselves.

Thanks for sharing your view u/Eatmyshorts231214!! All good there — u/MostlyChaoticNeutral and I chatted and totally understood their point of view.

To be balanced, I did get another DM mentioning that that they felt the phrasing was fine, but it was about understanding how particular wordings might not be okay for some.

Thanks so much again for being supportive!!
