who is this person, literally everytime she comes on my feed it’s because she’s shitting on yc lmao.
is that her entire schtick? just keep shitting on yc so that it goes viral and baits founders?
y-combinator embodies this. the same kids who reverse engineered ivy league college apps have also done the same for prestigious institutions in tech. YC is spiraling, because the leadership also won't take accountability/criticism and are more obsessed w twitter clout

training finished. we beat OpenAI embeddings with our fine tuned retriever on mteb/fiqa.
not even sure of beating openai is cool anymore lol.

super interesting, but i think the core difference between content and software is that content is generally consumable but software is not
for example, i am able to watch beekeeping videos and become influenced, but i am unlikely to buy nuclear reactor software

this was us tbh - it’s because when yc says “build something people want”, what they actually want is a magical machine that gives you $2 for every $1 you put in
If a company pivots enough they will eventually land on:
1. Some kind of sales tool
2. Service business they convince themselves is a software business
3. Whatever the current hype is (ai, web3, fintech, etc)
It’s

- building a great product and having customers that love you trumps everything, all problems

Did you know that 63% of US disability claims get rejected? Most of these are only because of incorrectly filled out information!
No longer with Paraply, the life-story-to-form platform, everyone who deserves disability compensation, will get compensation.

unpopular opinion but i’m more impressed with google io than openai yday. if goog can deliver on their agentic workflows and take them out of their beta or whatever, it will be monumental - distribution plus a fundamentally different interface for gmail, docs drive etc

wait, can you make real-life clones of people if you fine-tuned gpt-4o? like pulled chat history, voice cloning etc
a fully fledged clone of your ex for example? super fucked up, but it has to be in the future right
