qwert12345887 | 2 months ago | on: Using an AI Mediator Because Humans Are Terrible at Conflict

I was just about to start building something like this.

  * Ability to branch off—similar to Zoom breakout rooms—where you preserve context but temporarily go into a 1:1 space with the AI. Great for brief deep-dive moments.
  * Typing slows down thinking and breaks flow. Voice APIs are finally good enough that voice should be first-class.
  * Privacy matters a lot. Especially for personal sessions. The ability to completely wipe everything is critical—one preserved context across threads is enough to lose trust.
It would also be useful if both sides could select the "AI mode" for a new thread:

  * Nurture mode: healthy listening, feelings, emotional context.
  * Finance mode: results-oriented, financially logical, grounded in reality.
  * Career mode: guidance, planning, and professional reasoning.
  * Adventurous mode: creative, exploratory, high-novelty thinking and so on.
Next step: gentle preferences nudges. Maybe ask one simple question per week to learn about the user’s likes/dislikes. Make it editable and transparent.

My guess is just beliefs. It's pretty similar to what happens in code at-least where i work at.

Dev tries to make it super flexible, tries to make it fancy, implement DRY like one's life is dependent on it ultimately resulting in a hard to read/maintain messed up spaghetti code.

Also i don't see how can a person know all of the security stuff with a beast like Android unless they spent/are willing to spend an insane amount of time on keeping up latest exploits, architecture etc.

Sometimes choices are not a good thing.

I do not want that option. Especially non-tech users really do not care for side loading.

Fortnite tried pushing people to side-load on Android is a perfect example.

Even though that step failed, still a lot of people did side-load without knowing what they were doing and that's a problem.

For some reason a lot dev's cannot seem to comprehend that a lot of people(Including myself) are not capable/wish to maintain/keep up with security.

I rather use my brain cycles for something else. This is compounded for people who have no interest in tech but rather just want to use them to perform certain tasks.

Are some of practices unfair sometimes to a small subset of companies/developers. Definitely yes, But what are the other options that have this level of privacy or trust worthiness with a similar ease of use/setup. I don't know of any.

It's more or less choosing the lesser evil.
