I'm not sure if the author, Adam Jesionkiewicz, frequents this forum (I assume he does not), so I'll hold off on my comments for now to avoid bias.

It is an impressive demonstration of Claude.

I couldn't find support for the speaker in the code. A bootable Lisavox demo does not do very much. Curiously, there appears to be code for interpreting Lisa OS filesystems, for some reason. I don't see a way to use it, at least not in the web interface, and the vibe coder, who "create(s) projects at the edge of AI, design, code, and storytelling" seems to have missed this part of the drama --- it is never mentioned.

I wonder if the vibe coder was even aware of LisaEm. My guess is not. The rather breathless Reddit post (which reads very much as at least AI-enhanced) never mentions it; it's another detail that has apparently bypassed our storyteller.

I miss Ray.
