  • Sadly you’ve been replied to by a bunch of folks who rudely assume a very USA-centric view of the world.

    This post is talking about USA politics, where the leader of the country is currently a piece of shit criminal who is allowing billionaires (eg Elon Musk) to do whatever they want and dismantle long established government institutions, under the lie that it’s in the best interests of the country.

    I’m honestly glad you haven’t heard about it, you must have done a better job than me of filtering out US news and rhetoric!

    You incorrectly assume the grift products have to actually do anything. Just give them a few lights and a little fan at the back which spins for a few minutes to make it sound like it’s doing anything. Can be super cheap to make, it doesn’t even need a heating element!



  • I’ve built a couple of useful products which leverage LLMs at one stage or another, but I don’t shout about it cos I don’t see LLMs as something particularly exciting or relevant to consumers, to me they’re just another tool in my toolbox which I consider the efficacy of when trying to solve a particular problem. I think they are a new tool which is genuinely valuable when dealing with natural language problems. For example in my most recent product, which includes the capability to automatically create karaoke music videos, the problem for a long time preventing me from bringing that product to market was transcription quality / ability to consistently get correct and complete lyrics for any song. Now, by using state of the art transcription (which returns 90% accurate results) plus using an open weight LLM with a fine tuned prompt to correct the mistakes in that transcription, I’ve finally been able to create a product which produces high quality results pretty consistently. Before LLMs that would’ve been much harder!
