> you can make your own mangas

No you can’t.

You still have the studio ghibili look from the video. The issue of generating manga was the quality of characters, there’s multiple software to place your frame.

But I am hopeful. If I put in a single frame, can it carry over that style for the next images? It would be game changing if a chat could have its own art style

I heard this term being used for people who either use or support AI

That's amusing, although expected that some would misuse the terms, considering so many are now engaging in conversations about AI.

Tbh it doesn’t even need that. Just a way for advertisers to say “I want to target people who have bought peanut butter in the last 2 weeks”(I’m a jelly seller). That alone would beat FB and Google.

ChatGPT is collecting your data fs so advertisers can go ultra niche targeting


Advertiser's on Google and Meta et al are not really paying for visibility - they are paying to achieve some objective (e.g. sales) that is directly tied to a campaign. That's why digital advertising is so much more powerful than non-digital.

The question is, will LLM's as an interface be worth the spend in relation to converting without throwing users of chatGPT off over-time, all whilst, doing it within the regulatory frameworks. That's difficult to say. OAI will face a lot of scrutiny in EU for sure.


There’s a misunderstanding. I’m not talking about AEO

It’s about how Meta and google provides good data about audiences but I need more detailed info about a person(they’re exact shopping habits)

As the person responsible for GTM, I would gladly pay $60CPM if I can say “I would like to target all people who said they love crunchy peanut butter and consistently ask ChatGPT for peanut butter ideas”

I have no idea what they’re trying to pitch with the “we’re at the last step of the transaction” idea-but I also understand the regulatory issues with what advertisers like me want


as someone who works does marketing, "first time?"

People paying UGC creators to have ads is nothing new. Posting en masse to fool the algo is, but there's alwasy been bot farms.

And before that there's still the trick of getting published by a low rated news org, then letting journalist at a more reputable organization let them know of this trending news. And so on til you end up in the NYT. FYI this works even when you actually bought placement for those low quality placements

On the upside, the product/service needs to be good if you want to gain traction AND staying power. Psyops are cheap tricks, if your product sucks, then there's no word of mouth and you can't scale regardless of how many reviews you botted.

Drake,Katseye, etc. aren't doing doing well becuase they're doing cheap marketing techniques, they're doing well b/c they have a loyal audience and make good music.


Do you personally like Drake, Katseye? And think they make good music?

Some of it is really good, yes. But of course music taste is extremely subjective

You never realize the beauty of just learning cool stuff in college and exploring around until youre like 26 and graduated for 4 years

I think ai has revealed one of the biggest gaps in our education system: the majority of students don’t really care about knowledge-even when tested on it.

To give an example, I have a friend who learned system design through Claude in order to get a job interview (and he got really good at system design)while I have another friend who copies and paste ChatGPT responses in order to get a B on a reflection assignment.

This highlights that there is legit use case for personalized learning and growth via AI-but these are the people who seek knowledge with or without AI. Whereas the majority of students actively tries to do the least as possible on assignments even if they get 0 value out of it


Right. Most people are deeply uninterested in learning anything, not just in K-12, but at pretty good colleges like mine.

Modern AI has made me a more productive teacher—-I produce higher quality material and have more time for research.

But the impact on most students is negative. It is another thing to engage with, which they won’t unless forced. The only way to learn is to do the work yourself. An AI tutor can get you unstuck faster, but that’s typically bad. Learning to be productively stuck on something for days without making visible progress is an important skill that most people never learn.


> An AI tutor can get you unstuck faster, but that’s typically bad.

I like struggling with interesting problems. But spinning your wheels is not progress. So, IMO, getting you unstuck is a generally good thing.


as a user of the digg revival(another social network that died but had good backing), i'm highly skeptical of the new approaches of 'anti-reddit/botting/addictive design'

the reason being I don't think people address the supply side of the equation: why should I an individual contribute to your ecosystem of content? I personally left digg because there wasn't any new content and I wasn't getting enough satisfaction with the current engagement? Ironic right? Any new subreddits also suffer from this same problem, little engagement until a threashold is crossed-1k members,5k members,etc it depends on the community. To get to their is extremely hard and it would make more sense to go to an existing ecosystem like X, LinkedIn, Reddit,Instagram etc

plz don't take this as criticism of the idea, but rather the blind spot that I've seen many times with these new social media sites.


Thank you for your comment! That is a very valid observation - network effect is hard to beat. Moreover, because of how our voting system works, the project becomes even more dependent on community size than, say, reddit, that has a top-down moderation structure. And it is also dependent on volunteers voting on the content and on moderation proposals. That is more work than, say, clicking upvotes sometimes or just consuming content. But hey, if in exchange you get better bot resistance, better content, and full transparency, would the additional effort not be worth it?

And, of course, as the hero section of the landing page says, this is still an experiment. Indeed, it does not matter whether it works mathematically if it does not work psychologically - this is what we want to test!


Just saw this, it still feels like youre focusing on what demand side of the equation.

Stuff like better content, bots, and transparency don’t really affect me. Now engagement with me=>now you got my attention.

It can be hard or tedious to even get comments on other platforms. TikTok you need 1 month of videos while on LinkedIn the sweet spot is around 2k+ followers. I don’t really care how you do it, but if you’re able to create a hacker news ecosystem but for mass social media-that’s awesome


I find these kinds of blog very poor and foster extremist thinking allowing little nuance and context-while pointing to biased sources to prove their point.

Regarding the Claude leak, it seems the summary of the point is “Claude steals creative work from people via training data. Copywriting strikes have been used to oppress people. Anthropic is not a morally good company because of an implicated missle strike in Gaza, so it’s a good thing something happens to a big tech company”

The writer feels does not adress the complex legal definition of copyright and AI. And this feels like a politically charged piece rather than a fair critique of Claude’s leak


Do b2b sales 1) identify best architectural/construction firms near you

2) buy donuts/other bribes and give it to them for free to raise brand awareness

3)send them an email or call them

4)close like 5-10% of deals

5) listen to feedback and iterate your product and sales motion
