I understand, it's hard. But from the opposite end it can be hard for users to trust so you have to make that easier on them by being more transparent. I'd suggest finding a perfect use case - maybe it's not T-Mobile. Then re

"Underwhelming" is putting it mildly. The bot didn't even notice it wasn't talking to the agent yet and the "demo" ends with the user giving up and ending the conversation. This was posted by an account that wa

Last night we tried ChatGPT to see what we could change the “Welcome {MyFamily} Name” at our AirBnB to say. ChatGPT 3.5 gave suggestions where most of the options needed letters we didn’t have. ChatGPT 4 took a very long time and then apolo

The article mentions that Atlanta runs sweeps quarterly. This is only inside the city though. I live outside the city (25 to 90 minutes depending on traffic) and we don't get any sweeping. The intersection outside our neighborhood gets

I haven’t done it since covid, but in consulting it’s often fly out Monday, fly home Thursday. If you can get out of the office early or you have a connecting flight that lands early and you can get on an earlier flight it can get you home

I agree it's a great free service and I've rarely seen downtime, but as a nitpick: The posts for YC backed companies that are hiring (where the comments are turned off) are ads.

That's decent mark up. I bet I could write an app to take products from that site, post them to Amazon, and then just drop ship the orders for me. Of course, I'd have to write all those descriptions...
