I’m surprised no one has connected ChatGPT to a voice interface? The way it holds conversational context is really leaps and bounds better than Alexa/Siri

Eh, this feels different. There are some immediate utilities delivered from ChatGPT and Midjourney that feel like magic. Will they get over hyped? Sure. But is there a real kernel of something different there? I think so. Chatbots were just

I’m going to get flamed for this but at this point the closest we’re getting to counter culture is the exact opposite… “Trads”. Young people with super traditional values doing exactly the opposite of most of what you just listed. No one wo

You’re wrong on pretty much every measure here.

You’re way off base by almost every measure.

I get that this isn’t cost competitive on the energy side alone with a barrel of oil, but what about energy PLUS storage cost competitive to solar/wind? Feels like if we didn’t have to invent new batteries but instead just turned exces

Yeah that yarn about the anti LGBTQ extremism is a GREAT example of the causal misinformation cycle we often find ourselves in. It is readily falsifiable (the police talked of her like a day after the shooting and decided she is just a cran

Why couldn’t it also offer citations then. That sounds ideal actually.

Totally disagree. We started a business in a market with huge TAM, venture backed, and have had meaningfully scaled customer and revenue growth… But that market is seafood supply chain compliance, and I guarantee you no influencer gives a f

This is excellent advice. I followed roughly this path until I was in my late 30s. Now have a startup that is growing because we put in essentially 5 years of groundwork, while working full time day jobs, building product in an industry tha

Honestly. Software at Big Co is more like building a house. If you’re in a high uncertainty environment with loads of market risk, by all means Agile away. But if you’re designing and developing something fairly well understood… something m

That thread was a hot mess of speculation turning some yahoos off the hip Facebooks post into some conspiracy about shutting down a drag show? I’ll wait for some actual investigation before jumping to conclusions.

My own advice as a 41 year old w/ two young kids who co-founded a SaaS biz at 36 while working a full-time job and didn't sacrifice income (but certainly quality of life). Your milage may vary. - Don't start a company to sta

I’m not sure why the company is responsible at an individual level for what’s going on in the Bay Area. They can’t tell you how to manage and interact with the expenses of your life. If you’re mad at anyone, walk down to city hall and tell
