OpenAI should build Slack(www.latent.space)

I hate Slack. Total information overload. I’d prefer a tool that encourages people to think more before hitting send.

Funnily enough, from Slack's own testing they could make it that tool tomorrow by changing the input box from a single line to a multi-line input. A la the Hacker News input box we are all typing into right now.

You got me thinking about whether a pre-send message that could theoretically appear: "Given the channel that you are currently in, this might not be an appropriate message. Would you like to reword it, have AI reword it, or send it anyways?"

This presumably would feel absolutely terrible to use, but it might be a way to nudge towards community consensus for how certain spaces would work.

I for one would love this - if it’s done well - except that it would presumably be locked in to OpenAI agents

> Developers routinely complain about Slack’s API costs and permissions

What? What API costs is the op talking about?

If AI is soo productive why do they even sell it and don't hoard it for themselves to build a competing offer to everything ?

No one is claiming that level of productivity.

Oh yes they are. People are claiming 100x improvements, which is completely insane. But they do claim it.
