And if that's not an option, another solution is to use AI to summarize those long emails. In the end both parties will be writing and reading terse little emails, with the verbose text in the middle as the world's most ridiculous communication protocol.

This is why I am starting a new aI company, the a is for automatic and the I is for identity. We will automate the application of the identity matrix multiplication/solve operation to produce an extremely performant implementation of the bullet point/prose/bullet point protocol.
Wow, you have the tech not only to apply the identity, but to solve for it? That is something!

A major flaw in your approach is the identity is potentially too large, you should instead project something onto a very small space, and then extrapolate in some more or less random (but pretty) manner back to the full dimensional space.

We’re still optimizing. We tried to use a low rank approximation but for some reason it didn’t work. We’ll probably use a banded or sparse representation.

Progress would be faster, but for some reason we can’t retain a mathematician after showing them our experiments.

It’s something so ridiculous it’s difficult to even parody. I guess the real-world equivalent is ordering a single microSD card and getting it in a plastic case, in a blister pack, in an envelope, in a mailer, inside a Jiffy bag that doesn’t fit through your letter box because none of the middlemen cared enough to think about it.
