- MajimasEyepatch 1y agoTo be fair, productivity and writing tools are a better fit for LLMs than a lot of other use cases.
- treetalker 1y agoResponding to you and fullshark, I'm not criticizing, only observing. Just as there is some evolutionary pressure causing carcinization, it's interesting to consider what pressure pushes things in the directions of email and LLMs. I don't know what it is, but would love to hear others' ideas.
- wredcoll 1y agoI think "email" is a bit of a overly specific term, but if we take a small step back, communicating with other humans is usually the most important part of any piece of software.
- lm28469 1y agoI have a feeling these things will spend 99% of their processing time reading other LLMs outputs. Resumes written by LLMs and read by LLMs PR summaries written by LLMs and read by LLMs Emails written by LLMs and read by LLMs ... Everything could just be a few bullet points... these things were already 90% posturing and trying to sound fancy by using convoluted sentences and big words, now that it's been automated what's the point
- fullshark 1y agoThis company cannot afford to ignore LLMs.

- treetalker 1y agoThanks, I was slightly off!
- array_key_first 1y agoAh, this explains why Spotify has a messenger now.
- deaux 1y agoI'm sure they're working on an algorithmic infinite scroll video feed as we speak.
- Ekaros 1y agoAre music videos a thing still? I think that might work... Not that I have any idea about music videos or music or infinite scroll video feeds...
- djmips 1y agoi mean videos were constantly popping up for me on mobile Spotify so it kind of had already started happening. I had to actually investigate how to turn it off.
- kotaKat 1y agoStill no AirPlay 2 support, though!
- staticautomatic 1y agoI'm also a fan of "Every B2B SaaS attempts to expand until it it's an ERP."
