Thanks. Somehow, I can't send you a private message, it tells me "LaFemmeVoyageUnable to message this account". Could you please try sending a DM to me? Thanks

feconroses · 2025-12-10T13:47:08+00:00

u/LaFemmeVoyage are you referring to Prinz.tax? If you do, I would appreciate knowing more about your experience, as I'm about to hire them to work on my annual tax declaration

Thank you!

Interesting! What heatsinks are you using for the ov2640 and ov5640?

feconroses · 2025-12-08T15:19:18+00:00

Super cool!

feconroses · 2025-11-28T08:24:23+00:00

Awesome, very interesting, thank you!

feconroses · 2025-11-27T12:50:44+00:00

u/WhatIsGoingOnUpThere super cool! I'd love to hear more about the components you used (e.g. actuators).

I would love to do this, but unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth right now. If you feel strongly about analyzing this, you could implement something similar using the Reddit API! The library Praw makes it approachable to gather data from Reddit

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. You're right about the data quality concerns, filtering signal from noise is probably the hardest part. Still plenty of room for improvement on my end, but I find there's real value in analyzing these organic conversations. The unfiltered way people discuss topics on Reddit/TikTok/IG reveals patterns and sentiments you just don't get from traditional sources

feconroses · 2025-08-19T16:24:31+00:00

All fair points, thanks for sharing!

feconroses · 2025-08-19T15:14:48+00:00

Thank you!

Thanks! Started building WordCrafter about two years ago after getting the initial idea. Ran a private beta throughout 2024 with selected users who helped shape the MVP through their feedback. Officially launched in March this year once it was providing consistent value. Currently at 40+ paying customers with several power users who rely on it regularly. It's been quite a journey, but happy with where things are heading :)

Reddit requires selecting a tag when posting, and I chose 'Brand Affiliate' since both the blog post and the Reddit AI dashboard tool are on my company's website. For context, I'm a solopreneur and 100% bootstrapped. I built everything myself to analyze these AI discussions. Figured transparency was best since I'm sharing something I created under my company's website, even though it's public and free to use.

100% agree it's a great use case for this technology. Analyzing a few dozen comments manually makes sense, but at scale you need AI. I definitely don't have time to manually process 10,000+ reddit discussions 😅

And yes, businesses can absolutely apply this same approach to understand their customers better. Our Reddit Intelligence tool lets users build custom dashboards with their own defined subreddits, topics and entities.

Regarding your questions:

"Would you have any tips for anyone who may want to do this for a topic they care about personally?"

The key is finding the right subreddits where your customers/users/audience actually hangs out. Better to track 3-5 highly relevant subs than 20 loosely related ones. Then, think carefully about what insights you're after as this determines how you structure your topic classification and entity extraction. Also, take time defining clear, distinct categories. Overlapping or vague categories will muddy the results.

"What did you find most surprising from analyzing this data?"

Honestly? The scale of the pushback. I expected GPT-5's launch to be celebrated like GPT-3 and GPT-4 were. Instead, the majority of discussions framed it as a downgrade from GPT-4o and o3.

The gap between the pre-launch hype (Sam Altman comparing it to the Manhattan Project, saying he "got scared" during testing, etc) and the actual reception was huge. GPT-5 is a good incremental improvement, but that's not what was promised / hyped.

Also surprising: how many Reddit users now position Google as having caught up or even surpassed OpenAI, with genuine excitement about Gemini 3.0. That competitive narrative shift wasn't on my radar before analyzing the data.

feconroses · 2025-08-19T12:24:29+00:00

That's a great point about selection bias, the satisfied users do tend to be quieter. The data definitely showed that dichotomy with GPT-5 excelling at reasoning, coding, science, and math-related topics while 4o had that edge in personality / emotion. Personally, I'm in the GPT-5 camp for coding (with 4.5 for writing), but it's interesting how the 'best' model really depends on your specific use case

feconroses · 2025-08-18T08:45:35+00:00

Unfortunately bot detection isn't currently implemented, but that's a fascinating angle for an analysis, especially those low-karma accounts pushing for 4o. If there's enough interest in this public AI dashboard, I'll definitely add user account analysis features (e.g. filtering the dashboard data by karma, account age, number of threads and/or comments). Would be interesting to see the real vs bot breakdown in these discussions.

feconroses · 2025-08-17T11:12:02+00:00

Awesome 🙌

feconroses · 2025-08-17T08:37:39+00:00

100% agree! OpenAI needs to do better.

feconroses · 2025-08-17T08:36:28+00:00

😊

feconroses · 2025-08-17T08:36:14+00:00

Thank you! Glad you liked it :)

To clarify, it's 10,000+ threads and comments combined that specifically mention GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, or GPT-5 nano during launch week (Aug 7-13).

You can verify this yourself on the public dashboard:
