I wanted to say your insight about a consulting business is spot on. I also recommend Founding Sales and think it would be worth the OP skimming. Also, search for Steli Efti (founder of a CRM called Close) who has some great content for out

I think it is going to be a set-top device that casts to the TV with built in sensors and a camera to enable you to FaceTime with your AI assistant/friend. (Wrote a brief note about it here: https://zero2data.substack.com&#x

I saw this Carl Jung quote shared on Substack recently. "Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you"." I'm using writing as an ou

Agreed. I would love Plex (or PlexAmp and then cast) to have some built in visualizations. And I have no idea why some of those streaming EDM channels on YouTube aren't doing music visualizations rather than ten second loops of video.

You’re right (as someone a bit older but also with rose-tinted glasses). There was a feeling of hope on the Internet at the time that this was a communication tool that would bring us all together. I do feel like some of that died around 9&

Yes, a huge value of LLMs is having all three circles and moving all of that work into the background. (headless) Boiling down all knowledge work to the following workflow: Inputs -> Analysis -> Action There would be value to just be

Agree with you from the theoretical POV but, in practice, that means that any CRM that has been used to store an email is untrusted data. Basically, a business's most trusted data source is untrusted in the LLM context. Which feels lik

From a practical point of view, what are people thinking about what is considered trustworthy input? Is the data in your CRM trusted? Keeping the orchestration (and state changes) outside of the LLM is where my thinking is at until I can fi

This is totally theoretical. And I later learned that this really is the Dual LLM pattern from /u/simonw. One way to think about this is as a MVC framework: 1. The model is the untrusted LLM messages 2. The controller is the trust

You can’t abdicate learning. A junior who doesn’t understand the problem is going to use AI to more efficiently arrive at the wrong solution. This is true for any type of AI-assisted analysis—-not just coding.

Agreed on the sandboxing. I think it is a nut that the LLM providers are going to need to crack in order to allow companies to operate AI safely without keeping users in the loop. Otherwise automated workflow are going to need to be orchest

Building some personal finance tools. I don't like how many personal finance sites seem to be built around hawking credit cards and insurance rather than focused on helping people build a budget and get out of debt. https://

That was my favorite part of Evernote. However, I was recently cleaning up old notes that I had transferred to Obsidian and few of the pages I had clipped were ever read. It turns out I was just hoarding.

I agree with the article that it would be nice to give the person behind you a heads up. I am always worried about my laptop being broken when someone slams their seat back. At the same time it is really difficult to use my laptop then beca

One of the few interesting ideas from Neal Stephenson’s book Fall is the idea that the rich pay people to curate the information they see on the web and in their social feeds. The poor have to wade through all of the machine generated conte

I don’t even understand why FTT existed? I also don’t understand why there are competing cryptocurrencies? Without governments and borders, shouldn’t one standard currency be enough? (Technical challenges aside)
