AI summary is useful, especially when the sender also uses AI to write a long email that takes a while to get to the point.

For example (don't read unless you have time to kill, I summarized it for you above):

The modern inbox has become the staging ground for a peculiar arms race: artificial intelligence versus itself. As AI writing tools become standard features in email clients, they have democratized the ability to generate paragraphs of flawless, polite prose in seconds. However, this has inadvertently birthed a new digital affliction—the hyper-inflated, multi-paragraph email that takes far too long to get to the point. When a sender relies on AI to pad a simple request with corporate pleasantries and context, it shifts the cognitive burden onto the recipient. This is exactly why AI-generated summaries are no longer just a convenient feature; they are an essential defense mechanism for maintaining workplace productivity.
Consider the anatomy of a typical AI-augmented email. A request that could easily be stated in two sentences is often transformed into a sprawling narrative complete with introductory framing, bulleted lists of peripheral context, and an elaborate sign-off. The sender feels accomplished because they sent a "thorough" message with minimal effort. Yet, the recipient is left parsing through layers of fluff just to unearth the core action item. This asymmetry creates an efficiency deficit where human time is wasted decoding text that a machine generated purely for the sake of length.
This is where the AI summarizer acts as the great equalizer. By running a long, AI-drafted message through a summary tool, the recipient effectively strips away the automated filler, reducing the text back to its raw intent. It cuts through the synthetic warmth and verbosity to deliver the only pieces of information that actually matter:

What is this about, and what do I need to do?

The AI Email Cycle
1) The Core Intent: The sender has a simple 20-word request.
2) The Inflation: Sender uses AI to expand it into a 300-word corporate email.
3) The Deflation: Recipient uses AI to compress it back into a 20-word summary.

Ultimately, using AI to summarize AI-generated correspondence creates a closed loop that protects our most valuable asset: attention. While it might seem ironic that we now require algorithms to translate messages written by other algorithms, it reflects a practical adaptation to modern communication. Until standard email etiquette evolves to favor brevity over machine-generated density, the summary tool remains a professional necessity—restoring clarity to an inbox otherwise drowning in automated noise.

I remember the same was said a year back for Google search dominance. The question is not about other folks building bridges right next to yours. It is about can you still keep increasing your traffic flow because you built the best and safest bridge.

There is no doubt that $adbe is going to lose some market share to newer AI first companies. But the pie is going to get much bigger like you said "Design work that once required years of expertise could suddenly be performed by almost anyone."

So the right question is can $adbe get their act together and execute like $goog did the last year onwards.

They have deep pockets like $goog. Given how $adbe is intertwined into corporate workflows, a bet on $adbe is a gamble on its execution in the age of AI.

@Elonmusk is a Trillionaire.
Fun fact: even he wants to buy real estate with all that money, he can only own ~0.25% of the developed real estate that exist in the world.

The estimated total value of all the real estate in the world is at approximately $393.3 trillion

This is great news! I hope TN CM Vijay can transform the way the Chennai treats its water bodies.

[Super Chennai @Super_Chennai_]

TN govt gets Rs 7500 crore from Union Govt to clean up Cooum, Adyar rivers and Buckingham canal, a pet project of Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay:
-This is under the Urban Challenge Fund
-Will be used for Chief Minister's Integrated Urban Transformation Mission
-This will be taken up on a war footing as per the CM's instructions

@ZacksJerryRig Can I be on the side which didn't think on the former but thinks yes on the latter?

@prakdadlani Creating a fully optimized high volume production system is the hardest.

[Chid Sekar @chidsekar]

@VishakhRanotra No need to hope, it will create a noticeable improvement in bifacial PV production. A metallic finish will get you even better results.

Lars Moravy, VP of Tesla Vehicle Engineering, says the Tesla Cybercab is officially the most efficient EV ever certified at 165 Wh/mi!

That’s around 40% more efficient than a Model 3. WOW.

Munro Live just did a tear down video of YASA’s axial flux motor.

Very interesting piece of engineering.

Pleasantly surprised that grok created this without any prompts and added the cricket field in the background based on my Twitter activity. Ofcourse ignore the 3rd hand.

@fredlambert @fredlambert I think you are mistaking kids as only toddlers. Kids 4 and above absolutely love the cybertruck. My son, who is 4, tells his grandfather that he will give him 100$ to buy the cybertruck. Kids do influence decisions on what car to buy next.

@AswathDamodaran A little more creativity can help when picturing Tesla in 2032. This thesis is like calling Amazon a online bookstore at it's core 20 years back. 10 years back could you envision the scale of AWS?

[Chid Sekar @chidsekar]

@AswathDamodaran You entire thesis is incomplete when you end it with "green energy and ride sharing with driverless cars will supplement the revenue, but at it's core it will remain an electric car company". This is a lazy attempt.
