Some starting points:
- Find old datasets (hn.algolia.com "datasets", use huggingface, search arxiv)
- Use weird search engines, e.g. exa.ai (searches based on embeddings vs. google's pagerank/keywords) + google dorks. weird input = weird output
- mix 2 ideas you see - look at showcase channels on discord and pages on random frameworks, things people are building at Buildspace
- Find old facebook groups with lots of grumpy members posting regularly
These are just random strategies I use before I make things I post on twitter (https://twitter.com/joshelgar https://twitter.com/joshelgar), but they work pretty well for coming up with fun projects.
- thih9 3y agoThanks, these sound good. I don’t understand the one about “finding fb groups with grumpy members” - what then?
- joshelgar 3y agoOften 40+ yr old people complain about problems that you can solve e.g. vet technicians don't like veterinary software - you can fix that somehow.
- ipaddr 3y agoHow do you find grumpy men facebook groups? I would love a strategy
- joshelgar 3y ago1. GPT4 "500 tough professions w/ hardship involved" 2. Multiply that with "500 shifts in <profession> or <industry> regulations> since 2000" 3. Get inspired to come up with - grumpy fisherman mad about mooring fees, dog walkers upset about walking limits, 10x increases in flytipping in blackpool 4. As your ideation improves, train a better gpt. Frankly all those FB groups (min. names) are probably in the GPT training set, just a case of finding good prompts to get inspiration.
