		hmm not sure, I was lucky enough to stumble upon the page during the short window it was live and just saved it without any changes. does it run better on chrome perhaps? i also have a pdf version if that's nicer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BO-LIAUcQevx7j1AiLhzJiVDeVX...

I suppose they have to appeal to average users, but the examples in the videos are always so corny. By "AGI" they mean you sitting on a couch and asking a robot to draw a rocket ship... and then make it into an uninspired game with Blender? Boring marketing campaigns? Ebay listings?

One would expect something like "review my graduate thesis for a new area of cancer research", but it is always some boring non-tasks like ordering lunch.

		I don't think it seems that appealing to the average user either. The tasks shown are either things that most people can do already with ai (powerpoint), aren't interesting to most people (the rocket sequence), or seem to be more work to dictate to Astra than do yourself (listing on ebay).

		Agreed, that intro video is as dull as dishwater. Not off-trend relative to previous introductions from OpenAI, though.

Their video is quite interesting. If that way of using a computer actually becomes mainstream, it would mean every tool or service just needs a UI and an API for the user's AI. The current trend of bolting AI features onto every app is starting to feel very unnecessary.

If the numerous benchmarks in that post are to be believed, Astra is really next level. I can't wait to try it out!
