I went to buy an air fryer. There were several specific-air-fryer-model recipe books available. But they were all garbage auto-generated stuff.
I complained to amazon, and they said since I hadn't purchased the book they couldn't do anything. So I bought the book, complained, and returned it.
The chapters devoted to the details of the specific air fryer model were either very general (almost quotes of product description on amazon), or just plain wrong.
What I thought I would get would be like the magic lantern books about specific camera models. Instead it was auto-generated pages of nonsense.
I don’t think this form of generative AI needs to become a source of spam, carefully designed platforms can let people enjoy their niche content without making them feel isolated
Not really useful to give up the fight in the infancy of something with as much surface area as generative AI.
Is being used to create spam is not the same as needs to be spam, and we mostly just need platforms that leverage generative AI natively to bridge the gap.
My users don't find what these tools generate to be spam. They're enjoying a classic format with a novel level of flexibility and (understandably) find that very fun.
Or apply with something they are looking to fund. Then change your idea to what you really want to do when you get in.
(This is what Tiktok told me to do)
Oh no—that's a terrible idea. YC partners are going to be far more interested in what you really want to do. Interposing an irrelevant charade will only come across as uncompelling.
I understand someone having the viewpoint of America first, look after home first and don't get involved in foreign wars. He however, seems to go way beyond this.
His latest tweet connecting the terrorist attack to Ukraine, with no evidence. Is just repeating the Kremlin talking points.
For someone who should analytical, it is just strange.
The All -In pod, often tease him about being a robot.
I genuinely believe he is on the spectrum.
I have never heard or read his words showing empathy, even for the terror attacks in Israel and he is Jewish.

It's interesting how often this happens. People start from a reasonable premise and then slowly but surely move to an extreme version.
I sometimes think the only way to avoid this kind of derangement is to maintain an attitude of ironic detachment towards politics/current events. Almost everyone I know who deviates from that -- including smart, good people -- is a little bit crazy.
If people were able to do that we wouldn't have e.g. stock market bubbles. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent is basically a statement about human nature. Irrational at best of times. Now isn't exactly the best of times, we've been pounded by Covid, the economy, climate, wars. Politics seeks to leverage this irrationality to gain power. Kind of depressing on all fronts.
There are a lot of people in the west that are aligned with the Kremlin talking points. It's sort of a continuation of the post-truth society we live in. It's like people that think Biden isn't president or some other random stuff. Social media and traditional media letting people create their own reality. Reminds me of visiting the US circa 2018 IIRC and flipping my TV between CNN and Fox News.
Interesting enough wasn't it President Obama who started reducing the US involvement and taking more of a home first policy vs. the previous Republicans that viewed the US as the World's Policeman? IMO leaving both the US and the world in a much worse situation. The attacks against Obama also paved the roads to some of the techniques we see used today across the board. I don't know if this is just my impression but it seemed that was an inflection point, along with many other factors, in creating what are essentially fake realities for different people.

He is supposedly big fan of Kissinger and Kissinger worked for Nixon who was famously a huge antisemite and also cemented the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by intentionally torpedoing the deal that was on the table. All while being holocaust refugee.
Absolutely. Currently on the search results page, you can click on the title / price area to open the product URL in a new tab. Open to any suggestions as well. So the product URL is accessible from the search results page or if you click on the product image to open the product listing and click on 'visit product'. Let me know if that makes sense and if you have any suggestions to make it better!
Bunnings & Ikea recently stopped selling this product.
My guess is Bunnings probably wanted to stop competition.
So they probably lobbied the government for the full ban.
After all, you can't have the competition selling a popular product that they don't.
(Bunnings is like Australia's Home Depot or Lowe's)
"We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT. They offer a new, more intuitive type of interface by allowing you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you’re talking about."
As far as I can tell: No, and the roadmap doesn't include anything for adding it. I think it would actually be pretty much perfect for me if it did have OCR.
