Can humans do nothing now? Is it harder to organise your desktop? I thought Apple already organises them into stacks. (edit: Apple already does this)
Is it that hard to check your calendar? Also feels insincere to have a meeting of say 30 mins to show a claude made deck that you did it in 4 seconds.
- loloquwowndueo 9mo agoIt’s not that insincere if all the other attendees are just meeting-taking robots the end result of which will be an automated “summary of the meeting I attended for you” :) How many people join meetings these days just to zone out and wait for the AI-produced summary at the end?
- falloutx 9mo agoThe dreaded summarise meeting button. (whole thing could have been communicated via an email)
- xlbuttplug2 9mo agoYou can still do all these things manually. Now you just have the option not to.
- falloutx 9mo agoThe example they show (desktop organisation) is already automated free of charge, without user action.
- gehsty 9mo agoIt’s something normal people understand - everyone who uses a desktop/laptop computer will have rearranged an icon. If they read this it will likely trigger some thoughts about what it could do for them.
- hk__2 9mo agoI don’t think this is for _hard_ things but rather for repetitive tasks, or tasks where a human would bring no value. I’ve used Claude for Chrome to search for stays in Airbnb for example; something that is not hard but takes a lot of time to do by hand when you have some precise requirements.
- cwoolfe 9mo agoAgree. Seems to me that if you need something like this to automate your workflow; it's your workflow that needs to change.

- anthonypasq 9mo agoCan humans do nothing now? Is it that hard to pick the potatoes yourself? You already planted them in rows (nature already does this). is it that hard to water them yourself? also feels insincere to tell your neighbor you grew those potatoes when a machine did everything.
- falloutx 9mo agoYeah lets compare organising a desktop with planting potatoes. Tractors didn't need subscription, entire thing was owned by you. Automation in agriculture started the income inequality we still see today as Rich landowners didnt need to pay many people. Later the fertilizers and industrial agriculture led to dust bowls. But yeah it was all good right?
- anthonypasq 9mo agodamn, didnt think i would get pushback from the anti-plow lobby. Why are you on a technology forum if you hate technology?
