Human relationships are like complex systems. And some of the principles of antifragile design can also be applied if we look at it from a systemic lens. The build up of small cracks over a period of time can lead to any system getting brit

The collaborative loop growth hack to get the spread beyond the first 100mn adopters. Does anyone know what's the current number of subscribers using ChatGPT? And what do usage graphs or conversation stats look like?

Anonymity completely destroys the fabric of glassdoor reviews being trustworthy. There definitely is an opportunity to have a more open and transparent feedback culture built around this system of employee - employer relations. In an era wh

Are agents not just a natural extension of ChatGPT as a product with chat being a universal language interface for the plugins which connect to tools and skills?

While the fine-tuning pipeline is fairly straightforward for tuning and building custom models, the RLHF pipeline doesn't look to be as straightforward. Creating a dataset for RLHF seems like a fairly labour intensive exercise especial

AI is not just a destination, but what does AI native look like? Does it present a completely different opportunity in terms of our relationships with the online world? And does building / teaching / connecting skills to AI syste

Hi, Does anyone have any details on how to file a claim with FDIC? Does it need a legal counsel or can we self-file it as founders? There's a lot of documents there but finding the right ones to use for filing claims to be hard to navi

Consequences of what? Doing better research than a person would do? I am all for censorship of poorly crafted content which adds nothing to the narrative, but even a person can do the same - with poor research or no new ideas. Novelty is a

For all our progressive and seemingly liberal behaviour we are more conservative about bots and the fear of them. Neither is cognition or intelligence unique in itself and as long as an AI is able to do better research and come up with a sy

There is this thread booming up around banning of a store on Shopify. While this could be justified because the store owner may have been actually just at fault and not played by the law of the platform. This does point out a more burning i

A lot of what seems jargon and bullshit is because of the initial applications sprouting on top. Do creators need to have better ways to retain ownership, monetize their work? Does open source creation need a better monetization model? I gu

I think there's a reason this is such a recurrent theme that keeps coming up in different forms across the decades. Often people who are not developers have sensible ideas for apps/websites but do not have access to engineers who

The interface lacks punch. While the idea of making a self-serve BI tool which can plugin the gap of bringing better understanding around data is super-cool, the execution here for sure needs work. Tried it out and it's cool for someon
