You need to fake users to get the network effects to start.

Use a LLM to generate comments maybe finetuned on HN

When real people start showing up they will see comments and assume its not a wasteland. As real people come reduce the bot comments.

My new TV wouldn't work unless I agreed to it recoding and uploading those recordings to it's servers which may be temporary stored while they are transcribing the audio to text for more permanent storage.

My TV is forcing me into a employment agreement where I generated data to train their models or otherwise 'improve service'.

Data is so valuable companies are risking a huge PR backlash. Data collection is the business model and I assume the same ethos will make its away into open source.

This is a very old project glad to see it get the credit it needs.

One interesting thing is if you show someone this for a random sentence and ask them want do they think. They always say how did it copy my writing. Everyone thinks it looks like their own writing. Likely because its the average of all peoples writing. Try it out

Something interesting that will come from these LLM is university is all about writing papers, you get your degree by writing papers.

Now you can argue each year the value of a university degree will drop because more and more people will get LLM to write their papers for them.

The whole higher education model may need to change, its a similar paradigm shift as the invention of the graphs calculator.

Another reason these diagrams should be expressed in some sort of code is LLM currently are not well versed in architecture because its missing from the training set.

You got it admitting it was wrong, very interesting.

When I try do that it says

"I can not be wrong because I am a large language model who generates text from a user to make a useful response"

Its a technically because that is not what brought him to public attention, he made himself a target so they went looking into his life for something to charge him with.

If you look hard enough through anyone's phone and online history you will find something to put them away for - no exception.

I say he should not belong on the list because his company was not scam company its still alive to this day - the ethics aside of hiking drug prices.

I don't watch TV so I didn't know about these products.

I ordered a incredible beef pizza thinking it was extra topping or something.

Half way through I happened to eat one of the 'beef' bits by itself and realised it tasted terrible and possibly expired.

I googled it and turned out they sold me a fake meat while advertising it as "<product_name> beef". Which I felt should be false advertising.

The funny thing is I really enjoy falafels and the English brand of vege mushroom paddies. But this fake meat is soulless.

I think its important to note that animals don't get fed human quality vegetables.

They get the cheapest possible bits that can't be sold for more to humans but are still enjoyed by animals.

Animals tend to eat human waste products which is a form of recycling, turning essentially rubbish into bioavailable protein

Elon is creating a PR storm around twitter so news companies keep talking about twitter, this is driving user engagement.

Everyone is talking about twitter, this is no accident.

Musk is trying to shed the maximum amount of people as possible before things break. Then he will rebuild the staff with new people under a new culture and vision. Similar to Japanese plan to population replace islands it took over during WWII.

This is a huge PR play, and so far its working. Twitter stories are everywhere.

"The prototype was created by Tyler Skluzacek in 2015, when he was studying computer science at Macalester College in Minnesota. His father had developed PTSD during his two-decade military career, and Skluzacek wanted to see if technology could provide a solution. The concept was based on the way a service dog gently nudges its owner to help stop a nightmare."

I think this post buried the lead a little bit.

"All other social media companies give us more than is"

An app logging signal strength can pin point your location, which is then commonly sold to companies such as telcos as alleged in this story.

Owning a phone without GPS turned on, any app can track and sell your every movement without violation of any T&C or local laws.

That is beyond distressing.

How do dating apps make money? They were all prerevenue last time I used one.

I think trying to move away from images is a good idea, so people can showcase their worth to better compete with the physical gifted people who benefit from images.

I thought of a idea where you have to have a reel 10second video showcasing 5 traits

Let's say, you see the list of options and choose

Cooking Humour Adventure Intellect Strength

Say those are your traits, your reel will show case them. With the aim of creating relationships rather than hook ups.

Yes I did mean the top 0.1% of men.

I disagree with that the top man can not date more than a few.

A single woman needs a romantic partner let's say ever three months, a man can have one every day. We see this in gay men having 500+ average sexual partners. Gay men can have sex as much as they want, because of access.

Top 0.1% of men can also have sex when ever they want, they are getting constant matches with 6,7,8 level woman. Well below their level, because its easier to get people below your level into bed without courting.

They have sex, he doesn't call her back, she is mad at men for another three months.

A few men can soak up all of the above average woman, considering they are on a bell curve and are rare them self. Only a subset of people are even on these dating apps.

Average looking people don't have this problem, because they are happy with matching other average woman who the top men are not interested in.

Summary: top men can date below their own level because a 7 woman, three below them is still very beautiful. But a 7 man can't date three below their own level because a 4 is not attractive and not worth the time using a app for.

I'm relevantly good looking, no problem with getting a beautiful woman IRL, but on dating apps I get no matches. Or if I do its girls who are either average or tinder addicts who everyone should avoid.

My working theory is on a dating app woman have unlimited access, so tend to go torwards the top 99.9% of men.

Solution: Shadow ban hyper attractive people.

Solution 2: Only show people a similar level of attractiveness as yourself.
