I suppose potentially the upside with books is it takes a while to exhaust the shallow wins compared to music and movies because the investment of time is that much greater.

Oh for sure. I think there’s a lot of potential in llms for this (lot more sophisticated approaches possible than what I have here). Ultimately it should be like one of those fantasy setting librarians or book sellers who looks you up and d

A few things - it checks the books it suggests actually exist is maybe the most important (I was really bummed to discover some Claude suggested for me did not). My main reason for building it was to hep me find stuff from the library, so t

Oh how annoying! Sorry, that should be fixed now - that was a flow I didn’t account for originally (I figured people would chat first an upload once it gave them suggestions).

Aha! I was posting about a thing I made for just this purpose the other day - it is called Leafle. You talk to it about books you’ve read and enjoyed or not, and it uses that plus the fact that llms have very extensive knowledge of pretty m

I’ve been playing around with exploiting LLMs having ‘read’ every book ever written to make a chatbot to help people choose library books. You talk to it a bit about things you’ve read, and it uses the llm’s latent knowledge of books to sug

I’ve been playing around with using llms to recommend me books I can get from my local library based on the model’s latent knowledge of books it has ‘read’ and a conversation with it about books I’ve liked.

I had a theory that the way to solve this was a location intelligence data union which sold safely anonymised aggregates and shared the profits, while also litigating on behalf of members under available legislation to stop other people usi

Still slowly working away on my location intelligence data union.. I’ve spent a while understanding what sort of market would make it viable. I think it does actually work if you can square: 10K participants per major metro area, revenue of

I’ve been working more on the unit economics of my data union/trust idea ( https://wherelabs.info/ ). What I’m trying to understand is whether it is viable to pay people ~$5 per week for sharing their location data and d

I think at least initially the ‘product’ is datasets which don’t show individuals. You could of course build out a future direction which is differentially private. More or less my initial approach to this is you take a grid, and you show m

I built an app for iOS and android recently with a combination of Claude, and cursor. I started off by drawing Claude a picture of what I wanted the app to look like, and telling it to give me the skeleton of an iOS app. (It did a surprisin

I’m playing around with the idea of a location intelligence data union. I work in an adjacent space, and it drives me crazy that there’s all this data about humans moving around that could make a huge positive difference in the world but it
