With modern CPU’s supposedly shipping with ‘AI cores’: How long do you think it will take for a proper opensource, privacy respecting productivity tools(Something like whatever M$ copilot is supposed to be?) to be available?

Personally, i would love to see something like ‘Passive’ OCR integrated with the display server: the ability to pause any video and just select whatever text(even handwritten) there is naturally like it was a text document without any additional hassle will be really useful
Also useful in circumventing any blocks certain websites put on articles to prevent text from being copied

Or an AI grammar checker running natively for LibreOffice.

What are some AI tools you think should be developed for desktop Linux?

    This is interesting.

    Since all the talk about LLMs and “AI” started, I’ve been hoping that someone would create a news app that is essentially self-hosted RSS server (like FreshRSS) + a personally trained LLM that would only serve me news it has learned I’m interested in. For example, I don’t care about sports or celebrities and almost never want to see news about those topics. Conversely, I want news relevant to my geographical area, my area of work, and my hobby interests, etc.

    Considering these can be run on consumer hardware, I think we’re at the point where someone with the know-how just needs to connect the two.

    I wonder if the news preferences could be loaded into a Modalfile so it can persist - as I understand it, this would be the only way preferences would survive separate chat sessions.

    I love RSS but I have to be extremely choosy about which feeds I subscribe to because it can quickly become overwhelming given the number of articles posted daily.
