Email from Dropbox about the new tables function in Dropbox Paper. 🤔

I don't do predictions (especially not about the future, har har har) but I'm pretty confident that 2024 is going to be a year in which a whole lot of initially very different-seeming apps decide to try to become something like Obsidian. Big firms with dull, reliable products have seen the rabid enthusiasm that Obsidian engenders in some users and decided "we'll have some of that"; like the "AI" thing, it's a quest for vibes.

There's only One True App, and all apps that we know are but fragmented glimpses of It. The One True App contains within it your Ideal Consumer Life, a model trained on all the data that could ever be captured about you, in which you've been matched with every product that you would buy were you to see the advertisement for it, and everything that you might say or do has been predicted, and therefore can be generated.

It's not that they're copying each other; they're slowly coalescing into their final form, after which all will be revealed.

@theluddite It's like the software equivalent of carcinisation, is what you're saying...

Hahahaha yes! Just as we turn to crabs, so too does all our software approach the ideal form.
