It says something about the current relationship of large corporate apps and users when Slack makes an update - of particular annoyance is that the search bar at the top basically eats the entire border now making it impossible to move the window around unless you make the window sufficiently large - and my immediate thought is “this must have been deliberate in order to make sure Slack takes up as much of my screen as possible.”
It’s hard for me to think of a legitimate reason for how massive that search bar is and why it is so damn close to all the edges at the top making the window virtually immovable unless you greatly expand it.
Yeah, as soon as it auto-refreshed to the new design, I immediately hit the “Give feedback on the new design” link and expressed my displeasure to the void.
There is nothing I like about the redesign. Nothing. Everything about it makes the experience worse, and it looks like they threw widgets in a bag, shook it up, tossed it on a canvas, and they landed where they landed.
Completely Automated, AI-Powered Newsletter: Top Headlines in Politics, Events, Technology, and Business
Hello Everyone!
I'm excited to announce my newest project - an entirely automated Top Headlines Newsletter, powered by GPT-4. Top news that is picked and written entirely by AI is delivered to your inbox every morning at 9 AM PST.
Our system is** fully automated**, taking care of everything from selecting topics to sending the newsletter. This means that if I were to die today, you would still receive a newsletter every morning.
Our newsletter is integrated with our site, and all stories use 2 left, 2 center, and 2 right wing sources (characterized by AllSidesMedia).
I truly think that AI can revolutionize how we consume news, from mitigating polarization, stopping misinformation spread, and minimizing bias. Please let me know your opinions below!

No. You’re just creating all new misinformation and muddying the waters.
From your bio:
Drawing equal amounts of information from left, right, and center sources in each story, we aim to counteract political bias and polarization.
You cannot average nonsense and fact and expect the end result to be anything useful. You simply cannot. Your entire premise is flawed and quite honestly, reprehensible.
LLMs and News should not be mixed. You’re making the world a worse place. Please stop.
You’re not creating any new information. You’re bastardizing the work of others with a system that is designed to generate human sounding text. Emphasis on “sounding”. It has no idea what it’s crapping out, just that it’s syntactically correct and “sounds right”.
The fact that it’s not fact checked and just set loose is even worse.
You 👏 are 👏 making 👏 the 👏 world 👏 worse. Please stop.
