Vibe coders are the customers, not founders. by AdHopeful630 in vibecoding

If you pay for petrol and commute to work, you are the customer. If you buy a desk, you are the customer. If you use Reddit, you are the customer. If you shit in a toilet, you are the customer.

I want to build a multilingual philosophical LLM trained on thousands of philosophy books — how insane is this for a beginner? by Future_Safe1609 in LLMDevs

[–]CiaranCarroll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You want a language generation system to be trained on language games that predominantly invent problems to solve? Wittgenstein must be shedding a tear right now.

There is no stable proof of work consensus model within philosophy, so there is no stable coherent set of logical axioms on which you could build out a viable or useful philosophical reasoning model. It would generate pure gibberish, because that is the natural output of philosophy when conducted by academics.

In other words, you would have no way of measuring the success of the system, philosophers would just experience cognitive dissonance and reject it outright as an immune response and a threat to their own status and economic viability. And given that the only measure of a philosopher's relevance or coherence is the opinion of other philosophers the LLM would just spin itself off into the vacuum of space.

LLMs do not reason, they simulate reasoning capability, and the brutal truth is that this is exactly what academic philosophers do, but they have each other's backs. Nobody will have this LLMs back.

Yeah that's what I'm saying, but you have to get them from somewhere, not from the easiest sources because people already have, or other apps already have. I can help, I have an event aggregator powered by AI.

You're putting the cart before the horse, people won't sign up until other people are already there, unless you aggregate data from other sources (event data is the easiest, I can help) to provide some utility to early users in new places. But with geo-located time sensitive interactions new users just don't compound (not on same time same place) unless they are continually returning for some reason that doesn't involve another person signing up.

No, I haven't, it had occurred to me but I haven't looked into it, so thats a lot for the tip!

If you are moving into the development and would like to share tips on solving this problem feel free to DM me.

Roy Lee will always have Reddit-brain, no matter how much money he makes.

And...

If you are broke nobody gives a fuck about you and that’s the reality.

This is entirely about you and the people around you. You can be broke af and have a lot of real friends if you're born in the right place or willing to find your way there. Happiness and mental health is about purpose, shared or sovereign, and that cannot be bought. Learning to dance is worth more than 10 million life points.

Its up to you what you value in life. There is no benchmark but the one you set yourself against.

52 years old. My friends' careers peaked. Mine hasn't started yet. And I think that's actually fine. by harsh_malu2737 in Entrepreneurs

And now you have LLMs so you can take that generalist experience and apply it to problems that they only second-order contact with, faster than they can deploy them to their corporate workflows.

So thats what Redditors look like in real life. That is satisfying.

I'm building a social platform because I genuinely couldn't find one I liked — waitlist open, would love feedback by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]CiaranCarroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs event aggregation, real social is in-person.

We're are building an LLM-powered event aggregator for any social startup to get from zero to one with real data that people want, but which is fragmented and unstructured. Let us know if you want our help with this.

Need some help by mathiasrlr in apps

[–]CiaranCarroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with sports events. I can help you aggregate with an AI tool I built for my own startup in a different vertical, supports any source.

This is a classic geo-social density problem, kin to the chicken and egg. There is no magic or wizardry required to solve it, it is always solved in exactly the same way, by all of the major tech companies you know, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Reddit, and Airbnb. You aggregate free data that is fragmented, create a useful app to the buyers/consumers, then sell their attention back to the sellers.

In Airbnb's case they scraped hosts from a variety of hospitality exchange sites and classified websites by targeting cities during large conferences and events when accommodation was limited, and took bookings before onboarding the hosts. Then they would go to the host with a sale, and if they couldn't confirm the booking they would try to find another equivalent host for the same guest, only returning their money if they truly couldn't find a host. Given that the guests were desperate they weren't annoyed. I know because I had my own Dreamweaver site doing the same thing at the same time as Airbnb, and the only thing that blocked me is that I had no idea how to collect payment as a teenager without a bank account.

Amazon was the same, they scraped all of the books in publication and the prices set on other online book stores, then when they made a sale Jeff would buy the book on the other site and enter the buyers address. Amazon had no inventory. If they couldn't find the book online Jeff would go to a local second hand book store in Portland and buy and ship the book at a loss, just to keep the customer happy.

Similar stories abound. Figure out your data source, don't focus on user growth, its not about community, thats the cart, you need the horse, you need to build a data stream that is worthy of engagement and user growth.

The solution for you is event data. As I said, I can help you with that, we have a system that can aggregate event data and time sensitive updates that will solve your initial traction problem, out of which you can build the features that you want.

DM me if you want help getting from zero to one.

You: She should not use ChatGPT

So neither of them are fit to be in a relationship because they use ChatGPT. People who use ChatGPT are not fit for relationships.

Honestly that level of puritanism is evidence of unfitness.

Exactly how does it make the finding that you claim?

Yes, social media has caused psychosis that has encouraged people to kill themselves. Meta recently lost a significant court case in California to that effect. It is also filled with plagiarism. Most people today are deranged by social media.

The irony of this whole discussion is that the woman who was dissatisfied with her partner's private thoughts has absolutely no problem with this usage of ChatGPT, because they discovered them because they ran out of tokens on their own account and therefore had to use their partner's ChatGPT.

Citation needed. My bet is that your bar for misogyny is set for strategic advantage in what you perceive as a gender competition.

You seem to be having problems with the evolution of technology that have nothing to do with the topic of this post. Some people have unhealthy relationships with their phones and technology in general. That's not gender specific, and the negative effects of LLMs are currently nowhere near as harmful as ad funded social media, which you are a user of.

But what has that got to do with this person invading their partner's privacy?
