good things take time—frictionless experiences—product × strat × ops

i used to work at (and am still
an investor in) a company founded by ex-Googlers to bring back the Inbox feel.

It’s called shortwave.com and, while they’ve pivoted hard into email, it’s got a lot of happy ex-Inbox users.

cc/ @startupandrew

one rule i relentlessly follow is to keep testing products for hooks, interfaces, experiences, revenue streams

ever since shortwave was mentioned, i started using it cuz a) emails need new interfaces to declutter experiences, b) emails need to be reimagined from scratch, and c) business communications should be the top priority, especially when ai is the force and signal — and it checks all of those and more

from their web: "the “strong form” ai agent app for business communications — one that doesn’t just add ai around the edges but rethinks the entire experience from the ground-up"

plenty of time for me to ruminate about the past, future and present market now

the more time you spend reading, listening to podcasts, having fun with friends, etc. = less time indulging in thinking and entertaining meaningless thoughts of the past or future

I knew I would bait top smart nerds with this cast

I love @superanon because it gives the nerds a megaphone - only thing that matters is how good your content is

still a ton of whitespace around that particular idea imo - Reddit is the closest to have done this, but there's a lot more ways to do this

Yeah i was playing around with the filtering based on volume + number of occurrences. That was a relatively easy fix.

You're right on size, it just takes too long atm.

you fixed it, you legend! 

trying to see how this changes overtime, any pointer of how to achieve easily/is that something you already have?

Next we add AI, and some really important trends emerge.

1. AI as universal interface. Think of the dozens/hundreds of apps and websites you interact with — each with unique UI and quirks. AI can sit between you and all that complexity... Just tell it what you want. The AI will https://t.co/61GSLx3XsR

So, we NEED verifiability. The creation (training) and functioning (inference) of these minds must be transparent and verifiable. 

You really can't have AI's doing truly important stuff without this. You would be placing all trust and power in the hands of OpenAI et al. — https://t.co/HNtHktBa4d

chat-based interfaces are a UX failure mode for most products

novel idea for me in this piece is the idea of text-based interface as the always-on compute layer

This might be the first large-scale application of AI technology to geopolitics.. 4o, o3 high, Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude 3.7, Grok all give the same answer to the question on how to impose tariffs easily. https://t.co/r1GGubcz8c

Whether you agree with tariffs or not (I think the *tariffs are always bad* perspectives are somewhat myopic), there are some things that have not been discussed widely that I found particularly questionable. 

- The EU is demoted to a third party for the US. It is no longer an ally and will be treated the same as adversaries when it comes to trade. The game theory case against the EU is much harder to make than against China. 
- The accounting for this is HIGHLY selective and intellectually misleading. The US has been flourishing economically in the last decade compared to EU member states. This is also because the US has been leading in software and digital services.  Adjust for (digital) services and the trade deficit between the EU and the US shrinks to merely 50B USD. But what if we take other costs into account? The EU also has to bear the majority of cost for migration (both in terms of climate but also conflicts) even though arguably both parties participated in the creation of the problem.

the point about accounting for tech/services revenue is particularly interesting

what I wonder is whether this is a willing stop to the pax americana policy (based on the system of economic and military alliances built by post-war US) or short-term strategy to force the fed to cut rates with the above being an unintended (but foreseeable) consequence 

even the most charitable interpretations of this whole strategy make it look myopic
