Mark NewtonImagine spending $200 per month on an AI agent to summarize your emails and manage your calendar.
Why are we more than five years in to this dumb bubble and the “killer app” for retail AI is still “summarize your emails and manage your calendar?”
I love this, so I@NewtonMark because it’s what executives demand, and can afford
Colin@NewtonMark Have these people not realised you can just not read email at all?
Robin@NewtonMark the TV in the Qantas Lounge this evening had Alan Kohler crapping on about how some AI-faked article showing him having an argument with someone was proof that AI was getting more powerful, rather than it still just being a cheap* way to create large volumes of persuasive bullshit.
At some point in the piece he made a remark about NFTs still being a thing, as if no-one (certainly not him) had actually learned anything from the last techbro grift.
bigiain@raaahbin There appears to be some evidence that as well as summarizing email and calendar management, LLMs may also be useful for writing artist statements.

I Gave Claude Access To My Pen Plotter
I gave Claude Code access to my pen plotter. Not directly. I was the interface between the two machines. Claude Code produced SVG files that I plotted with my pen plotter. With my smartphone I captured photos that I pasted into the Claude Code session, asking Claude what it thought about the pictures. In total, Claude produced and signed 2 drawings. It also wrote a post about what it learned during the session.
