So to play devil's advocate... were you taking your eyes off the road for too long?
There are many many poor drivers and many many distracted drivers out there. I'm not accusing you of one, but maybe a little bit of self-introspection may be necessary.
I have Hermes and set it up so that it works on a self-hosted Matrix instance. It was pretty simple to set up after some back and forth with a more powerful model. It's primarily how I interact with Hermes. I don't really use a command line on my computer with it.
Just open up a Matrix Element chat window and go at it. I've been replacing more and more apps on my phone with this setup, and it's pretty streamlined. It's nice knowing that everything is local. The Matrix server is local, the local AI inference is local, etc.
If your PCP checks a CBC and a CMP, all of these metrics are there (which virtually 99% of PCP’s do yearly). Lipid panels are regularly checked, A1c is checked periodically if you have a diabetes risk, usually every 1 to 3 years based off USPSTF guidelines.
The only thing that is not regularly checked is a vitamin D level.
So unless you go to some quack MD who orders nothing (which is usually the exact opposite of what quack MDs do) you’re wrong.
That is a petty big assumption (aka bullshit) unless you have direct insight the inner workings of the big US labs. Just because it isn’t published doesn’t mean that innovation is not happening.
I have a similar set up. I communicate/chat with the Hermes agent via Matrix chat client.
So rather than having to go to a bunch of different websites or apps to get things done, I've linked them all to Hermes
(via skills) and chat with the Hermes agent on my phone.
I want a movie? I just say download XYZ. Shows up in Plex 5 min later.
I want to research something with multiple different perspectives? Rather than going to OpenWebUI and using that, I just asked a Hermes agent to examine an issue from multiple different viewpoints and get back to me with a conclusion.
I agree with you in part, but I think the market is going to shift so that you won’t so many need “mega projects”. More and more, projects will be small and bespoke, built around what the team needs or answering a single question rather than forcing teams to work around an established, dominant solution.
But before I needed to be a programmer or have a team of data analysts analyze the data for me, now I can just process that data on my own and gather my own insights. That was my aha moment.
