I’m going to give this a try, but I wish we could just expand the sms protocol and make interoperability a non event. Wishful utopian thinking, I know, but messaging as a protocol would be a much bigger commercial platform than silod apps. Source: the gdp of the internet vs the gdp of the app stores

#24Maybe I'm just an idiot, but how can an app claim end-to-end encryption with a privacy first mindset while also using an AI chatbot run by a third party company? What actually is being shared with OpenAI?
Hi, cofounder here. We're very transparent in the UI about the fact that messages that mention @AI are not covered by e2ee. See https://imgur.com/a/5kPEdQP Only messages that actually mention @AI are sent in plaintext to us, and then to OpenAI's API. All content shared between people without invoking the AI is fully end-to-end encrypted.
That is good to know and thanks for the clarification. With this operating at the message level and not the thread or group level, is context still preserved to actually have a conversation with GPT?

#26I get his beef with Slack, but this is just Discord for people who don't want to talk to Android users. What's his problem with Discord, other than uselessly calling it ugly? EDIT: I thought his "it's AI in a group chat" pitch sounded familiar, then I realized it's because it's a Discord blog post from a couple weeks ago: https://discord.com/blog/ai-on-discord-your-place-for-ai-wit...
I don't have a "beef" with Discord, but I have the feeling I really don't get it when I use it.
I joined a couple of servers related to games I play and some sports. But I feel like there's conversations going on that I can't see. Do I need to message some special bot? Do I need an invite or be admitted before I can see some hidden channels? There are voice chats, there are so many settings.
I definitely feel like I need someone to handhold and clue me in to a few more things about it before I feel "comfortable" using it. Discord is a lot to deal with.

#27This whole article felt like a poor sales pitch.
What wavelength offers:
- Privacy focused (majority of users do not care about this, all modern chat apps have e2ee already)
- Natively runs on Apple devices (without Android/Windows version, good luck getting a large user base, especially with 2 developers)
- An AI chatbot (discord/slack already have this?)
- A groups -> threads -> messages layout. Like they mentioned, the same as slack but less corporate. Seems like a good idea since Slack is pretty awful for personal use.
The article could've done less without the author patting themselves on the back about how amazing their opinions offered were.

Plenty of services managed to build large user bases before being on Android.
