Quicksilver is the original one of these apps. And it appears it predates all of those (launchy, etc)
I prefer Alfred these days myself.
You can even do similar with just Spotlight on macOS and the Start Menu in Windows 10+.

- Comment on Apple TV+ is losing $1B+ annually even as its subscriptions grew to ~45M in 2024; Apple has spent $5B+ per year on content since its 2019 debut. 2 weeks ago:
Good content is expensive. And from what I understand, the financials are all fucked up across the industry.
Just look at Netflix, they just blew $320 million on a huge piece of garbage, The Electric State.

- Comment on Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster 4 weeks ago:
I appreciate that someone could tell I didn’t mean to be super broad.
Jargon definitely falls under the umbrella I was pointing at. Communication among co-workers. Managers. Etc.
The whole style feels cold to me. And impersonal. And I hate it. Jargon can definitely play a role. But I’m also ok with certain types that actually do make communication flow smoother. But yeah, the vapid jargon that masks a lack of understanding, curiosity or humility is a bummer.
- Comment on Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster 4 weeks ago:
I said more in another comment, but I mean stuff like email. The thing companies like Apple are showing ads on TV for.
- Comment on Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster 4 weeks ago:
Sorry, I was focused in on professional communication. All those emails sent by bosses that feign interest or care. All necessary niceties that can grate on someone once they know many are just masks.
I wasn’t being precise, and I assumed others wouldn’t think about it in such broad terms. I agree that my statement would be silly if it applied to all writing that people get paid for.
- Comment on Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster 4 weeks ago:
Professional writing was always fake. And this just proves it more.
I hate how increasingly we will be forced to take patronizing AI slop at face value.
