A really good news aggregation/management site would help me out a lot more than a marginally better Siri. I waste a lot of time on the news and miss a lot of stuff.
Agree with pseut. I would need a Siri smart enough to aggregate and manage news for me. We need someone to build that great aggregator, and then we'll talk about Siri integrating that.
Sure, but your original point seemed to be that any small degree of progress on a Siri variant would be more important than any large degree of progress on a news aggregator. My only point is that the magnitude of the progress matters, and a big change in the "smaller" problem of news aggregation would free up a lot more of my time than a small change in the "bigger" problem. As much as I'd like to be able to dictate research papers and code up a bunch of data analysis over my phone via Siri++ while I'm on a long run on the beach, at some point you have to trust that people choose to work where they think they can make the most progress.
