CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Accidentally pressed a random combination of keys that brought up Copilot, and NVDA said: "Ask anything edit This is a multiline text box. blank". This is a multiline text box? What? Someone tell the vibecoding tools that there are actual roles for multiline editboxes. ffs. Also wtf where did Copilot come from this time?

@WeirdWriter I do believe the general technology is here to stay since we do have open implementations of the fundamental algorithms. Whether that's a good or bad thing is a debate in and of itself, but the way these things work is out there. So while Anthropic or OpenAI might not necessarily stick around, language models/transformers I believe will. That said though even beyond those kinds of tools, I've bene thinking about accessibility and what it means. For example with the situation the US is putting itself in right now, the thought crossed my mind what I would do if the EU suddenly did not have access to GPS, if I couldn't use my iPhone, etc. So yeah I think the people who will suffer the most are the ones who most rely on access tech. As usual. Ugh. It annoys me thoroughly.

@Kaliah @MariahL one of the biggest problems, but by far not the only one, with LLM's and modern so called "AI" is the people pushing it. Don't gotta look far into Sam Altman to realize that guy is a problem on two legs. Don't gotta look far into the people behind Suno and their investors to realize that those people are also extremely problematic. We already know about Facebook and Google and the list just kinda goes on like this. And use it or not, I think it is very important to keep this in mind. These people do not want to make the world a better place.

@matt I really want to see and play with one. I don't need it but I want someone to buy it and come by so I can take a look. haha

@zersiax especially when you can cmd tab into another window and it usually keeps working. Same for other screen readers on Windows, I believe Narrator doesn't have this problem either. You can alt tab away and usually be fine.
