Very cool! I'm fascinated in this world. But have no background in it other than GeoJSON stuff for Delivery technologies like UberEats etc

Looks fun what you have been doing on your blog.

You could relate this to using an ORM vs writing your own SQL

[obayesshelton]

I think there will be two noticeable paths people could go down.

1. Headless 2. API first

Couple of thoughts.

You need to find a way to sync with platforms you have applied on for example LinkedIn Easy Apply

Will edit when other thoughts come in.

On: Sam Altman calls Google a lethargic search monopol...

[obayesshelton]

You see / hear it all the time. Some hot shot new CEO bashing the bigger companies. This didn't end well for quite a few CEOs recently.

Google is no longer a Unicorn it is a Shark... Sharks have been around for a long time.

[BasedInfra → obayesshelton]

Maybe a basking shark filtering masses plankton but it’s no great white.

A great white would have launched a GPT api competitor far earlier and recognised the search replacement use case.

GPT3 came out in 2020. People had used it as a search like function in 2020, we’re coming up to 3 years and only now they’ve acted to then bum rush into a competitor that’s demo tanked the stock?

[obayesshelton → BasedInfra]

I do agree with you here.

There is a small smell of "we want to build this" vs "we should buy that"

[falcor84 → obayesshelton]

Generally I'd agree, but I'd give Sam Altman more credit than this. He's been in this game for almost two decades, both as a CEO and as a VC investor.
