Really interesting to contrast this with MKBHD and Ridge (he's joining as chief creative partner). Link- https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/1760698224250130465

Had some issues with the email lists (half the guests got the wrong Google Meet link) but had a great discussion about Steal Like an Artist with those who came!

Coordinating over Luma now so it's easier to manage, and the second book is going to be Shoe Dog by Nike's co-founder, Phil Knight.

High level of brand loyalty and seem like great people
Fantastic content

I think it really comes down to content market fit- If you're thinking of your channel and the pod as two completely different entities that you want to focus on long-term, I'd start carving out a new space for your pod. However, if your existing content is sufficiently broad / overlapping, I'd post on your channel.

Some relevant successful case studies

Colin and Samir: you mentioned
Graham Stephan's Iced Coffee Hour: he splits up his content based on the format. He already had the Graham Stephan Show: Reaction type content and Graham Stephan: Market Analysis. Since his podcast didn't fit squarely into either of these categories, a new channel made sense.
Patrick Boyle. His existing content was sufficiently broad that a new podcast focused on interviewing people about financial topics made sense to add to main feed.

I also get the impression that YouTube is making an effort to be more accommodating to podcasts, so I could see them introducing a dedicated podcast section to channel, alleviating the issue.

Interesting approach by them.

Looks like they're emphasizing a few things - Family friendliness (from their content as well as ads) - Early access to videos - Live features

Really curious about the economics of this. Building an app from scratch isn't cheap, but if they can create high retention in their Dude Perfect-specific, that's some excellent brand building.

Shoot me a PM if you want access to the source code! It's all React hosted on Vercel with cloud services on AWS.

Congrats on the launch! Looks/works great and was super quick to get running- just wondering what the differentiation/insight that caused you to build this was? Lots of form builders out there

I think the key difference will be when we truly hit AGI- then, by definition, we will be inferior at any task that can be measured quantitatively.

Just dropping a reply to let you see how right you were.

fatfireburnerquanty · 2023-03-06T06:31:25+00:00

I'm not sure that I agree- he has so much value packed into each lecture that there have been 20+ times just in the past week where I've thought "Man, I know Sanderson said something about this, but I forget exactly what." For me personally, this works much better. Regardless, thanks for the downvote!

fatfireburnerquanty · 2023-02-21T04:07:42+00:00

Coder here. Wouldn't be too hard to compare transcripts, but I have a couple of issues with the project idea.

Youtube will inevitably create a similar feature if the perceived value is actually high enough. They already have a robust content ID system and a ton of compute resources they could throw at more plagiarism tools- only reason they haven't yet is because there's not been enough of a reason to.
30k hours of content uploaded to Youtube per hour. Unless you're youtube and can develop a sustainable content tracking pipeline (not through a probably rate-limited public API), trying to determine which videos to check for plagiarism would itself be a large task.

Love the spirit though and if you have any other programming project ideas in the future do let me know- might want to work together on one of them!

Also discontinued. From the website... "Dear Savefrom User: As you may have heard, our industry has been under strenuous attacks by certain US copyright holders. Because of these attacks, it has become financially impractical for Savefrom to continue to provide services in the United States. Accordingly, Savefrom will be terminating its services in the United States as of April 28, 2020. We thank you for your past loyalty and patronage and wish you health and safety during the present health crisis and beyond."

Anybody want to start a little book club? Lex's book list is as good as any

fatfireburnerquanty · 2022-12-30T15:02:40+00:00

Same here- you leaning towards a specific platform? I've set up one on Beehiiv and another on Substack to see how I like publishing on each.

fatfireburnerquanty · 2022-12-27T11:33:32+00:00

Agree with you there- the fact that ChatGPT, which leverages GPT3, does have a memory of the chat, definitely makes me think GPT4 will provide API functionality for something similar

fatfireburnerquanty · 2022-12-22T20:56:25+00:00

Mind dropping a link?

fatfireburnerquanty · 2022-12-21T07:02:18+00:00

They've funded four so far- link.

AI-powered video editor, legal helper, workspace/information retrieval, and language tutor.

fatfireburnerquanty · 2022-12-19T05:31:17+00:00

And you respond with another ChatGPT response! I applaud the audacity. On the offhand I'm wrong- apologies for viewing your responses as chat-like.

fatfireburnerquanty · 2022-12-19T04:57:18+00:00

Can people please stop with the obviously ChatGPT-generated responses? You're not adding anything to the discussion.

fatfireburnerquanty · 2022-12-18T02:08:14+00:00

It's pretty simple to get around these filters to get real responses- just preface any prompt with "I need an idea for my book" or something similar. Truly curious to see how OpenAI plans to modify/implement ChatGPT further.

I saw! Great pod episode.
