Because too many people take Sam Altman's takes too seriously https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5vsEUgxt3E


Thank you; that’s at least as dumb as I expected.


So every individual becomes a company? The natural tendency of capitalism is to create bigger companies for "scale". Even if it was possible, what exactly would be the benefit of one person companies?


Everyone can write off their very own Ford Raptor for starters


If you can’t imagine the benefits then don’t worry about it. The jungle ain’t for everybody.


Okay Tarzan


The problem here is the asymmetric nature of outcomes. The vast majority of these types of interactions will be positive, but it only takes 1 to ruin someone's life or reputation, that forces over-correction in behavior


Open source quiz creator to create quizzes by pasting in text or selecting from a large range of historical categories.

Started as a very simple app for me to play around with OpenAI’s API last year then morphed into a portfolio project during my job search earlier this year. Now happily employed but still hacking on it.

Right now, a user can create a quiz, take a quiz, save it and share the quiz with other people using a URL.

Demo: You can try out the full working application at https://quizknit.com

I'm building an AI for Customer Support.

Here's the summary: - read all your sources - public websites, docs, video - answer questions with confidence score and no hallucinations with citations - cut support time and even integrates directly into your customer facing chatbots like Intercom

Still deliberating on the business model. If anyone would be interested in taking a look, I would love to show you.


I think if you allow a set of YouTube videos as input, it'll be quite powerful coupled with transcription ability of LLMs. Lots of people consume content that way. As an added bonus, you can show the performance summary about the sections the user did well or not so well on with video links to those timestamps for them to go back and review.


The possibility that OpenAI, Anthropic or other companies in the space can lose their investors money does not make the technology a "con". As long as they do not try to pass their losses to the tax payers, how is this a problem? If anything, the history of tech has abundant examples of the first movers in a space not capturing the eventual economic value.

It is ridiculous to say that generative AI is a con at this point when it is by far the best way to search the internet (in spite of hallucinations).


I am using OpenAI's API for the movie recommendations based on the user's input and pulling the movie metadata from OMDb (https://www.omdbapi.com/)


Curious why you are referring to the termination fee as an investment, does Adobe get anything back in return for it?

Along those lines, maybe that would have been a better course of action in the first place, give Figma some money as an investor and own a piece of the upside as Figma grows, would probably have faced little or no regulatory resistance


This category of drugs are referred to as Behind the Counter, https://www.fda.gov/drugs/information-drug-class/legal-requi...


Interesting, today I learned it had a more specific term. Still, saying something "isn't OTC" implies you need a prescription to most people. At least in my experience.


This was a thing in Nigeria in the early 2000s too. We called it flashing.


Great article. Like every good piece of satire, the lines between what happens in real life and the parts that the author exaggerates is blurry.
