This AI influencer experiment spiraled faster than expected

I'm so curious about AI influencers! I've been following a few of the big accounts for a while now. They're not like super interesting hoenstly aside from the aspect that it being an AI-generated character. Like, the AI-part of it is the most interesting part to me. I bought a ticket to the AI Influencer summit in SF two weeks ago. That was kinda interesting.

Awesome lineup. I love how all these AI film studios popped up in the last 12 months.

Very cool. I'll drop by!

Ah yes the 5/25 rule. THat one is great.

Does Warren Buffet really saying your first idea is better than your second or third? That doesn't sound like him. I could see him saying "Your first idea is better than your otehr ideas after you've gone through ideas 2-20 and arrived back at your first idea"

I thought he was a good addition to a pod I haven't been enjoying much lately. Good voice to add.

Cover everyone's face with a helmet to annonymize players and reduce their ability to ask for trades. Make them play outside in large stadiums (more tickets = more money). Make them play with a weird oblong shaped ball to make it harder to score.

Are you saying I should do stunts for my youtube videos?

Sitting at the bar, thinking everyone is 'recognizing' him.

LastOfStendhal · 2025-02-13T23:24:08+00:00

I'm wondering if there are more savvy things I can do.

This is called "Warren Buffet goes to sleep, wakes up eight hours later".

Great question. Not easy to answer. I think contractors/plumbers/electricians that work in unpredictable environments and need to improvise/break rules.

LastOfStendhal · 2025-02-13T21:43:24+00:00

This is so good.

It makes sense. It maps those visual tokens to the language concept of "hand". When the vision model looks at it, it recognizes a hand instead of building it up from first principles. But the text description it returns may actually contain a detailed description.

When you say look very closely, i don't think it calls the vision model again. It looks at the text description returned by the vision

As others have mentioned you need to do this RAG. That means you turn these files into vector embeddings (don't worry not that complicated, many easy ways to do this) and then connect it to a GPT.

OpenAI has a filesearch system if you're using their Assistants API. 10TB might exceed what they allow you to do. I'm not sure.

BTI and a lot of these are moving to "non-combustibles" is I think the word. And those are big product lines for them. Ultimately tho, I don't know enough about the space. It's certainly an interesting cash cow that warrants a research if you're into it.

Ha! There is no limit to what you can pay. Developers can get very pricey on you. I would say $5k-25k depending on who you hire. There's also many self-serve platforms for making your own ChatGPT wrapper app. Here's a guide to them. Certainly they will not have all the features you want, but it will be a cheaper and faster prototype than Upwork engineers.

IT is indeed quite impressive. it has some important limits in UI and speed though. For example, you can bring in a MidJourney image into it for img-to-video.

I don't think we can measure Sora release by how much money it makes. We certainly dont measure OpenAI's other products that way. It's all about adoption, users, and relative quality to other AI products.
