We use this in my science education platform: we make students talk out loud about what they're thinking. Not a chatbot, but guided inquiry that's designed to make them actually mentally engage with what they're seeing

Yeah I get like 20 "a family office is looking at your company" emails a day.

Yeah except agents don't get their feelings hurt when you tell them it's not right and to do it all over again. And the iteration loop is light years faster.

I mean, isn't the LA coast going to be underwater in 50 years?

Hard agree. Once you drive on a highway with no billboards (e.g. outside Seattle on I-5) you realize how much mental space they take up when you go back.

I have a fond childhood memory of singing along to one of the songs with my little brother a lyric we made up "One.. more... hit and you're dead, one more hit and you're dead"

We don't pay teachers enough to entice people who are really good at science to teach at the K-12 level. There are some who do of course, but to make it a viable career choice for a talented person, we just need to pay better salaries (and vastly improve working conditions)

I think "don't care enough about tech" is a mischaracterization. Software engineers are EXPENSIVE and many companies just can't afford it. Personally I think AI unlocks a ton of opportunity, because things that were just not possible due to the high salaries (justified, of course) of software engineers are all of a sudden very possible. Maybe these small businesses will now be more likely to hire a fresh grad who can not only build them a website in a couple weeks but also a ton of other useful internal software.

Yeah our doctor specifically recommended Bambas. Babies love them and they sell them at Trader Joe's.

Agreed, it cost me at least $10,000 because I had to pay fancier accountants to do all the R&D calcs. Not to mention the interest lost, my time spent figuring it all out, etc.

The same Unity jerk targeted my small educational software company and shook us down for $5000/year industry licenses because we have a grant. I had to let one of my devs go.

When I originally wrote the grant, we had budgeted for $80/month Pro licenses (what I was paying at the time). I've had a Pro license since 2011. It's alarming that they're in such a bad spot to try to draw blood from a stone in this way.
