photos are a behavioral corpus

the current set of photo products (apple photos or google photos) are so deeply broken that it’s no longer even funny.

when you really think about it photos are the densest behavioral corpus most ppl own from locations, ppl, food, relationships, health, taste, regressions, & moods but the dominant ui is still grid of shit ton of squares sorted by time.

apple/google have nibbled at this w/ memories & face clustering but it’s all decorative. nobody is treating the library as a layer for understanding the person. that’s a huge huge opportunity for an ai native experience. obviously non trivial to do well, but it’ll be fun to push boundaries here.
