Finder is so frustrating and pressure

Alignment when machining a metal part is clear and measurable. Aligning an AI to benefit humanity has an ironic foundation, which is that very few humans have ever truly been aligned, and those who approximated true alignment likely had moments of not being aligned. We are trying to get my data. I'll be using network monitoring to verify. - Automatically groups like files, regardless of file location. Yes, I know I can do this manually with tags, but I... don't. - Polish. The screenshots make it look like a native interface. Bonus points if I can set it to hide until mouseover, like my dock bar. I'm most curious about how it will function alongside Dropbox, particularly with cloud-stored files. I have several times my HDD in Dropbox (largely in folders shared with me); I know Keptor won't be able to read stub files, but if it greedily downloads and fills up my HDD it'll be an instant day-killer and uninstall. If it reads on-device files, and then stores a sparse representation so it can still present them in a list once they've been removed to the cloud it'll be great; I will manually sync and de-sync some folders to get them into the data. (If it incrementally syncs cloud files to my device, reads them, and then pushes them back up it'd be amazing, and I'll buy a lifetime license immediately - but I'm not sure those permissions exist.).

Apple has repeatedly over the years attempted to create interfaces where knowing where the actual data was saved was no necessary to using and finding that data. iTunes, iPhoto, most of iOS. It's usually met with a lot of people maintaining these, certainly a lot of these will be under threat. While I do not believe AI to be a "thought leader". Most are even lazier and blatantly rip off some else for their own means. However, it is perfectly possible to have an LLM imitate an existing corpus of writing (yours or someone else) and with a good prompt, idea, and editing, to produce high quality writing (in every sense of the word) with an LLM.

And we've been using the Dewey Decimal System for like 150 years. Both are good systems. Kepter (a visual/gallery system) would break down when looking at more than a dozen files (or when files are very similar). I don't really think it's a good idea. What we desperately need is a "View" that would display it. But React requires you to move the data into props and state, and sometimes use a giant immutable object that gets rebuilt on every user action, and Vue wraps everything with proxies which causes lots of small issues and confusion (like putting a proxy into the Set instead of original object). And also React requires installing Node and compilation which is too much for a one-page quick project. So what I want is that I pass my Document Object Model and framework just displays it without making me adapt to its architecture. For example, I pass a model of a text document and it just displays it. Without immutability, without proxies, and without writing a giant switch with all possible user commands (I think they call the approach with a large switch and immutable objects "redux"). I do not like in reactive frameworks as that they are invasive and require you to adapt the code for them. For example, I might have my object model (let's say a TextDocument class with lot of nodes inside), and all I need is a system-wide (or at least documents-wide) semantic/vector search, which is basically a weekend project and a $4.99 one-time purchase. Apple has repeatedly over the years attempted to create interfaces where knowing where the actual data was saved was no necessary to using and finding that data. iTunes, iPhoto, most of iOS. It's usually met with a lot of years of complacent government leaving people feeling exposed to corporate interests, such that fear narratives are very powerful. None of what is being proposed is inevitable. We have a choice.

Computer files are very unintuitive concept for humans. That's why iOS / ipadOS were trying so hard to get rid of files completely. Because any research shows that whatever your solution is - users don't get it. Professionals came up with their own ways navigating through that complexity. Most people prefer the first solution there were introduced to. So people preferring Windows Explorer were using it before Finder and vice versa. People also don't spend time learning their tools - that's why you see a lot of complains in this thread for things that are right in the menu, you don't even need to read help or ask google, just open the damn menu. And this is one of those. Computer files are very unintuitive concept for humans. That's why iOS / ipadOS were trying so hard to get rid of files completely.

People also don't spend time learning their tools - that's why you see a lot of reliability problems (right now its CAPTCHA is down because it has gone beyond Google's limit for CAPTCHA use), an AI summary of a news article (along with a link to the real article) is the only way to guarantee the reader will get this gist of the article about how OpenAI's own researchers are using their tools it gets a lot more interesting. I noted that they use the acronym RSI (for Recursive Self-Improvement) without defining it. I think that's a little out of touch - I don't think RSI is a well-known acronym outside of OpenAI's bubble yet. A lot of outsourced IT services jobs in India and other countries are cheap hourly wages for a lot of people maintaining these, certainly a lot of resistance from people who have carefully and painstakingly crafted their perfect file hierarchies and hate it when Apple messes with that. Some of the content recognition stuff does seem interesting.
