I have a hunch that once people saw the economic potential of software, they started looking for ways to “scale it up” and we haven’t stopped searching yet.
I had an idea once that everything should have a TLDR. Even books.
If it’s 500 pages it should have a 5 page TLDR. And the TLDR should have a 0.5 page TLDR, ie the blurb. And that TLDR should have another TLDR 1% as long - ie the title/subtitle.
And you read them in that order, shortest to longest, and stop reading when you have enough detail.

The title is the summary.
There is no surprising data or anything in the article. It is a nice discussion starter though.

Now that could even be automated with an AI that produces TL;DR from given post/article. Would be cool to have a bot here on Lemmy that comments TL;DRs and sticky them
That’s a great idea. Isn’t there a bot on reddit that does exactly that?
Not that I heard of, it’s fairly new tool
