Is the $200 price tag there to simply steer you to the $20 plan rather than the free plan?

Cool concept. Anybody know of a project with realtime spontaneous interactions like this that fits a defined use case?

I've thought about this topic a lot before. The concept of a founder vs manager "mode" doesn't resonate with me, but the message boils down to this: founders have more freedom to approve high risk/high reward initia

>> By some estimates, more than 80 percent of AI projects fail — twice the rate of failure for information technology projects that do not involve AI. So 40% of projects with more proven/experienced technologies fail? That's

> The founder in this scenario was offered $400,000 of liquidity at Series A and $750,000 at Series B and encouraged to do so by their board of investors to de-risk their own life. This is from the article. I would tend to agree with you

The single data point here is Adam Neuman, so I have a hard time taking this seriously. I have raised 6 equity rounds as a founder of 2 companies. Never took a dime off the table, was never offered it, never asked for it. We actually did ha

I've worked quite a bit with STT and TTS over the past ~7 years, and this is the most impressive and even startling demo I've seen. But I would like to see how this is integrated into applications by third party developers where t

While I'm not convinced it is VC vs. bootstrapped that should differentiates frameworks, you should read this book, it is simply the closest thing to a step by step user guide to finding PMF as I've seen, and it worked for me: ht

Fair question. People have kept pictures, paintings, art, belongings, etc of their family members for countless generations. AI will surely be used to create new ways to remember loved ones. I think that is a big difference than "keepi

I have the same concerns generally. But one non-evil popped into my head... My dad passed away a few months ago. Going through his things, I found all of his old papers and writings; they have great meaning to me. It would be so cool to hav

If he's earning just 5% a year on that $16B net worth, that's about ~$2.2m per day. Yet he used this info to gain $500k?

Not so sure about that. It reads to me like there is a personal scandal on the horizon that has come to the board's attention, and the board feels their hands are tied. Hard for me to believe its business decision related; Sam is elite

I have seen noticably worse results with Bard, especially with long prompts. Claude (by Anthropic) has been my backup to ChatGPT.

Sounds like he wasn't happy with his last PM haha. Interesting convo starter article though, as the PM role seems to also draw a wide range of opinions. In my view, the PM duties are critical, but the PM function is what a company ma

Honest question: is it better for society if they are for profit? Will the for-profit incentive and control over development and deployment lead to better products that create more value for society? What is the best example to indicate a n

With the (controversial) incentive for Apple to move away from PWA's and toward native apps, this has to be welcome news and useful for developers and consumers alike. Their fine balance between being anti-competitive and providing jus

What if they did a better job of segregating music vs. podcasts in the same app? So you can search and "save your place" separately between podcast and music? That's my biggest gripe - I can't just pickup separately betw

In 2004-2005 one of the most interesting features of Facebook was to see which students were in which classes (lectures), and even which smaller labs or sections of that class. So you could enroll and change your entire schedule if there we

I am very surprised more people watched the dubbed version of Squid Game over the subtitles. I saw a friend watching the dubbed version and to me it didn't "preserve the original performances" as you say. Surprised subtitles

"Just walk out"? Figured this was going to be a site dedicated to some sort of protest about Amazon. I think a re-brand is in order. That aside, would retailers adopt this from Amazon, of all tech companies?

It's a very interesting thing they are doing though, one must admit. It really highlights to me the fact that pricing long-term leases is really hard. Companies (the tenants) are living, breathing things that change and evolve. Their s

It's possible he does borrow against his various equity holdings and you just wouldn't know. This sale is small fraction of his net worth, and cash would likely be a good portion of the collateral.

This is a super cool project. Spot checking WA state (where I was born and still live), the results are accurate and interesting! There are some comments about wanting to resolve duplicates (though duplicates are intentional), would be neat

Uber facilitated 10 billion rides in 2018. I think you are severely underestimating the ease at which another service, benefitting from self-driving capabilities or not, will erode such a massive network. Value of company will be correlated

The brain and "mind" is insanely complex. There is so much we still don't understand, so of course there is so much we cannot replicate. But is it possible? If there is an incredible breakthrough in understanding, then yes of

There is always an "Uber is dead" sentiment floating around when losses come out, but I don't buy it. The long term on-demand transportation opportunity is absolutely massive. Uber has tried to win the land grab and "out
