You certainly don't need Looker or AI to do this!

Easy to host using many open source reporting/BI/analytics frameworks on a cloud page and maintain for pennies a day!

Good luck and most importantly have fun.

I mean in late 2020/early 2021, Altman and others were saying the end of work was 6 months out.

That clearly didn't happen :)

The AI frontier is currently limited by physical power requirements.

The ability of operators to bring new capacity online to service compute is bound by a variety of regulatory and physical/market constraints.

Do folks not understand this?

They'll just extend the forecast horizon when questioned:

"Oh, those projections were over the life the expected costs,forecast out 10/15/20 years into the future. Everyone knows this is how you calculate such savings..."

When you have hard problems with unclear optimal solutions, taking this approach of a public show & tell will often (always?) solicit lots of interesting ideas the team may have not yet considered :)

Any similar AI based services/agents that can take images/creative assets (eg Figma, Sketch, Adobe PS, etc files) and create production-ready emails and landing pages in HTML?

Never having worked for a company in a position like OpenAI, how does this manifest in the real world as actual comp?

Like I get 50,000 shares deposited in to my Fidelity account, worth $2 each, but i can't sell them or do anything with them?

I feel like the AI industry is basically recreating "workflow engines" again and again and again, in different forms, with different input mechanisms.

This is a killer use case guys - excited to try it out over the next couple weeks!

"Negotiate with the service provider/insurance co/cable company/etc" as a service is going to be massive.

Siri is literally a joke!

My son (he's 11 years old now and fairly skilled with all the main AI tools, eg chatgpt, gemini, etc) and I retry her every month or so, and this past time we just laughed. Can't handle basic questions - hears the question wrong, starts, stops, takes us to some random ass webpage, etc, etc.

"She's so jacked up!" he said.

Apple needs to get this under control and figured out, stat!

What's left to conquer in email land?

Most of the large marketing ecommerce/enterprise market was captured via ExactTarget/Salesforce, Oracle/Responsys/Eloqua, IBM/SilverPop/Acoustic, Adobe/Neolane/Marketo by the mid 2010's.

SendGrid/Twilio was another a few years later, Amazon SES is ok, then you have some of the smaller market players (MailChimp, Constant Contact, etc).

Hard to scale/grow a startup in any real way when there are so many fairly well entrenched solutions across industries and company sizes.

What is the timeline/next steps to make this a usable therapy in humans?

Not familiar with state of the art techniques in this realm currently.

Best way to get free tickets is to ask the sponsoring vendors/companies directly I've found - can play either the 'I'm a current customer' card, or the 'I'm considering your solution seriously' card.

Have gotten many free tickets, dinners, sports tix, etc that way over the years!

Most folks know this is easily defeated typically by viewing the content on another device (eg via casting it, remote desktop, phone mirroring, etc) or viewing it from within a VM, and then using the native screen capture functionality on the viewing device to record/screenshot whatever you need.

That being said - guessing they are doing this for their enterprise customers mainly, where alot of those other options are locked down. But plenty of people already know to just record their screen from their phone anyway - impossible to block that and much safer way to exfiltrate whatever info/data you need.
