A similar argument to OpenAI: https://www.latent.space/p/ainews-why-openai-should-build-slack https://www.latent.space/p/ainews-why-openai-should-build-sl...

  Also true! The most important thing is that the NewSlacks commit to interoperability. I think Anthropic has a special opportunity to lead the way here, because they have a track record of standing by their principles to an extraordinary degree.

    Why on earth would Anthropic commit to interoperability? That is the company that doesn't interoperate with the standard LLM APIs that OpenAI developed, which everyone else in the industry has adopted and uses. Whether OpenAI's APIs are great or perfect or not, they are the standard that the industry has settled on. That is the same company that refuses to add support for AGENTS.md that everyone else in the industry uses, despite over 3000 upvotes: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/6235 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/6235 Anthropic's Claude Code is also one of the only agentic coding CLI tools that isn't open source. I'm not sure which principles you think Anthropic stands by... but interoperability is not one of their strong suits, from what I've seen.

  Yeah, but now I wouldn't touch anything from that company with a ten foot pole, even if they made the best Slack replacement ever.

    Considering their Palantir partnership, I'm not sure I'd touch an Anthropic-designed slack either.

  You must be the only one that remembers this because the rest of the comments are dumping on the idea. I don't think it's such a bad one. Presumably its easier for their agents to knock out than a web browser or a compiler.
