“I tested Sinceerly by cold emailing 5 Fortune 500 CEOs. 4 CEOs replied. Of those replies, each was under 10 words. 2 replies had typos. One reply called me Larry (my name is Ben).”

    the fact the world functions at all while running on matryoshka doll levels of bullshit and duplicity is equal parts impressive, terrifying, and depressing.

    Think about this for a moment.

    We made bullshit generators that ingest all the actual knowledge we feed them and manage to vomit out bullshit that’s so close to perfect most of the time that we now need a second bullshit generator to re-bullshit that output into a more palatable form of consumption for us. And it’s being sold to us for an additional $4.99 a month.

    Fuck me.

      That works all long as the world has enough cheap energy to sustain all that. It’s not like some idiot might block the world’s energy supply one day.

        ’s not like some idiot might block the world’s energy supply one day.

        I’m starting to think that might not be such a bad idea. Investments in renewables are up, and governments around the world are reminded once again that it’s better to be economically independent from untrustworthy dictators.

      Then, the bullshit recipient uses a bullshit summary generator to extract compressed bullshit, so they can choose one of the bullshit responses automatically generated and offered to them.

      The goal of both, sender and recipient, is to do as little as possible, but fake effort and formality.

    I don’t need AI to write and email for me, I can do that myself.

    I don’t need AI to add typos for me either, I’ve got that handled as well.
