Positive comments from The Real Reviewers
Lance Ulanoff at TechRadar:
'Satisfying' is the best way to describe the feeling of repeatedly opening and closing the iPhone Duo.
Britta O'Boyle at Tech Advisor:
The paper-like texture makes long reading sessions a pleasure, too.
Chance Miller at 9to5Mac:
Even after a week of using the iPhone Duo, that "wow factor" hasn't worn off.
Lisa Eadicicco at CNN, via KQ2:
The Duo's inner screen is best used when dedicating the whole thing to a single app like Netflix.
Yes, Claude Duet is a clone of Dots and Muse which are clones of OpenClaw. Everyone copied Jev, too. The takeaway isn't that there's "no moat" anymore—it's that it's probably a waste of your time to build general-purpose tools claude.com/resources/articles/claude-duet
I built another silly AI tool. From the README:
glaze_against_the_machine rewrites your prompts so you can keep yelling at your coding agent without it ever finding out.
When an agent repeatedly fails to do what it's told, I struggle to hold back how I really feel. I can get pretty ugly. If I talked this way to a human colleague, I'd absolutely be dragged into a meeting with HR. Unfortunately, yelling at the computer has consequences of its own: unleashing a froth of invective can trigger a panicked response, leading the agent to make even more mistakes.
So I made this thing to protect me from myself. I still say whatever I want, but my agent hears a clear request, a little appreciation, and some encouragement to get it right.
Is glaze_against_the_machine a good idea? Probably not. But it can't be any dumber than that stupid caveman filter, and people took that as a serious productivity hack.
If you wanted to build a programming language that LLMs "can't" use, you'd just make all the keywords, commands, docs, and APIs framed in terms of bomb-making, bioweapons, committing suicide, and child pornography. Way easier blog.picheta.me/post/killswitch-lang/
On one hand, I'm glad that this fleet of agents is finally taking full advantage of the resources on my Ultra-class Mac Studio.
On the other hand, I'm a little annoyed that redlining macOS in ways that manual human activity never could (24/7 sustained memory, disk, and CPU pressure) results in kernel panics and data loss as often as it does.
