> Why it uses 400mb I have no idea.

Yes, this is an important detail as well.

Make a Slack clone, but have it perform way better than the original (less RAM, CPU usage), with a smaller storage footprint.

Also deliver on features faster than the original. And have those features be more tailored to what the users both want and need - and things they didn’t even know they needed as well.

This is, after all, what’s being promised, no?

Is Slack CPU and memory usage actually a problem? Sure, developers complain about it but they almost always have powerful PCs

    They have one powerful computer and multiple apps which think that each of them has the powerful computer for themselves.

    I mean why set the bar any lower for Altman? Shouldn’t AI be able to produce an executable that minimizes RAM and storage? If not, why not?

    If it can’t produce an executable that minimizes RAM and storage for something like Slack, are we supposed to believe it can for something more traditionally power-hungry (browsers), or storage hungry (Call of Duty, iPhone apps)?

    Shouldn’t AI be on the forefront for reducing resource usage in general (not just digital resources), or is just a giant exercise in induced demand / Braess’ paradox?
