Is that just an Electron wrapper?
Edit: looking at the phoronix comments it seems to be. I really don’t get why they though this is even worth a twitter post. Just an inefficient wrapper for an even more inefficient text generator…
Can’t wait to never touch it
Fuck OpenAI
What makes this Chatbot client different from just using it in the browser? My first thought was, it might get special permission to better interact with the system, like the agentic tools do. I assume it can better integrate into system with the taskbar maybe. Or maybe this is more efficient than just running the webbrowser. Or it might have special commandline arguments with special options?
Oh… wait its just an entire browser running a single tab. Alright then. Why does this need to be an app on its own? To me this is as useless as a native browser based Discord app… Just bookmark it in your browser and open it there. You can even customize it even more with browser addons.
they don’t understand their audience, do they? or this is for steam decks lol
Tbh there’s a good amount of people on linux that are fine with AI. I say that based on the amount of stars and trending projects I see on github, don’t know how much of it is bots tho.
I really wish it wasn’t so easy to bot stars… So many projects are so obvious botted these days
there used to be a time when a business had to have a proven product/service that brought consistent value to the customer.
openai has been throwing darts blindly at the dartboard for the last three years that it bewilders me that anyone could think they have the ability to be stable or profitable in the near future.
my thing is, if everyone is using LLMs to write emails (for example) then there needs to be a re-think about online communication as a whole and that would definitely not involve LLMs.

Really, I think that time is long gone. There’s faster, greater money to be made by selling a vaporware future than there is by selling an actual product.
2026 businesses are looking back at the old fashioned model of selling things to customers and laughing out loud.
I wonder if it’s vibe coded or properly built, from what I’ve seen they generally don’t use their own slop machines
Really? When I read that even Claude devs use Claude to make their apps I was convinced that’s how it worked with other llm apps.
Yeah no thanks
booooooo
