If you can make something small that generates 30k in MRR, you should definitely do that. I fear that you are being quite optimistic about the numbers here…
I take the opportunity to rant about cruise control / speed limit buttons, which have a much worse UX than climate control.
If someone in the auto industry reads this:
Can I get a button that says 50, one that says 80 and one that says 130. Right now, you have to hit “set” and then adjust the speed limit with some up and down arrows, which is really annoying and takes your eyes off the road.
99% of the time I need 50/80/130. Yes, those are French speed limits, so if you prefer, you do 1/2/3 where you can set the 3 speeds in the parameters.
Or at the very least, make the arrows adjust the speed in 5kph increments.

Please don’t do this. Presets can be super difficult to understand. Configuring them can feel overwhelming, and you can’t verify your presets easily while the vehicle is stopped.

Does pressing and holding the arrow not do that for you? I remember (before I went carless) that my Audi used to do 10kph increments, displaying the target speed in the HUD, when I pressed and held the lever.

IIRC Gen 2 Priuses only incremented the speed by 1.604km/h (yes, that 1mi/h, go figure why they didn't adjust for the rest of the world).
But you're right that most of the time it's adjustable by holding the arrows (I've tried Peugeot, Opel, Hyundai).
When you keep the button pressed, it will add 5kph per second you press it or so. This is really the worst, cause I can't keep my eyes on that stuff for several seconds, so I always end up overshooting, and fiddling with the buttons way more than what's safe.
* 100: happens during construction work on the motorway, and also for some segment of the motorway whose speed limit is dynamically managed depending on traffic
* 110: during long(ish) distance trip (incidentally, to Southern France), I drive at 110 to save some battery for my EV
At this point having cruise control working the way it works now is probably less complex than 5 presets (I agree that having to adjust the speed km-by-km sounds painful though).
Is there any chance that the board considers it at all?
I mean its mission is to maximize the interests of shareholders, and right now, it's unclear that OpenAI will maintain its dominating position over competitors in the long run.
EDIT: forgot to mention I am not a Trump/Musk guy in any way. Just talking about the deal here.
I thought they were set up a some kind of non profit and thier mandate was to pursue other goals not profit. That was what caused the issue with the altman firing previously right?
Even the way they want to go public, as a Public Benefit Corporation, calls into question whether the board then would allow Musk to take a controlling stake.
Sure they can. They're a non-profit, they don't have a fiduciary duty. It may cause some ramifications for the taxes and accounting but they absolutely can since they don't have shareholders.
This is a widespread problem in the medical world, and it is infuriating.
That said, self-diagnosis using a AI tool makes me cringe.
As an engineer, I know I could use this properly the same way OP did. As in, I would look at what the AI is telling me and triple check with all the information I can get from actual medical reference books. Also, I know I am fairy good at not making up symptoms not to match some diagnosis.
But I would never put this in the hands of people who visit webMD twice a week only to conclude that they probably have toe cancer.
And because UI matters. AI chat seems more tailored to your own problem since your giving it your inputs. And AI chat is more authoritative, cause it mimics the way doctors talk.
To be a bit uncharitable: a sick person seems to want certainty more than anything, which they can project onto an AI much more easily than through work with a careful doctor.
Because AI, ChatGPT in particular is programmed not to offend you, and will compliment you for your ”great” analysis and only make your delusion worse.
