I think the product as shown in this marketing material with these examples falls squarely in the “nobody asked for this” territory of AI. At least with B2B AI there is a problem to be solved: reduce my labor costs and increase my business output. What’s happened here is that consumer technology is already solved, but companies like Meta are trying to jam AI technology into something that solves the non-problems that…

I'm not sure - it may as well be that regular consumers just don't realize they need this and will greatly benefit from it. My personal anecdote - we had a complex family travel in the summer, with 6 ppl and 6 separate flights booked (some multi-leg). SAS messed up on one booking - they decided to cancel the flight we had from Oslo, and rebooked us to an earlier date (2 days shift). That wouldn't work for the rest of…

I have a hunch the real killer feature of assistants like this will actually be the ability to identify moments like this where it'd actually be helpful, instead of relying on users to actually try/do everything with it.

Wow, well if the incorrigible Mark Zuckerberg himself says they say they put more work into data security! /s After everything meta has pulled over the last few decades, do you actually trust in CEO speeches like that?

CEO says something bad: "Look at what the CEO said!" CEO says something good: "you cant trust what he said, he's a CEO" Pick a lane please

Please apply a little bit of critical thinking. It's a CEO's job to make the company look good. They therefore have an incentive to lie/exaggerate in a way that benefits them. They do not have that same incentive to make their company look bad.

Yes, of course. Wikipedia has a quick summary of the most popular networks ranked by monthly active users. Facebook is #1 and Meta owns three of the top five. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_social_pl...

Those are self-reported numbers from 2023. Besides most likely being highly inflated, I think Facebook is on the decline.

That’s delusional, mate. Sorry.

Ha, tell me you don't have children without...

The average kid in an average suburban public school is not getting this amount of digital communication. If they are, they still aren't using a Google Calendar and are managing the complexity in much simpler ways (paper calendars)

I think they mean the parents. I got 5 emails from the kids school today, and have regular calendar events related to the kids. So yeah this is for parents

There are a huge amount of small everyday ‘paper cuts’ this could help with, that I would argue our current status state of technology has actually created and do not work as well as they should right now. For example, I have a WhatsApp group for my child’s classroom. It feels like there are constant barrage of events and dates that constantly change and move. I feel like I spend an inordinate of my time, reading and calendaring each of these events and reminders for what to bring and pack for school every other day. I’ve handed this off to AI and have looked back

Do you... code by copy pasting chatgpt web???

Yes! Though I mainly use it for one-shotting full files, so I'm not copying over small diffs. I did try copilot at some point in vscode, but after a week or so I felt like it was slowing me down. Something I knew would be a simple and quick change was now slow since I didn't have enough ownership of the code to do it quickly myself, and prompting for the change took longer than changing it manually if I had had full…

Just download the ChatGPT app and use the Codex mode.
