I'm running a an AI fluency assessment tool and after 1800 real users who interact with our chat bot 20-40 minutes; here are some weird things we found out. 1. The least AI-fluent professionals overestimated their score by 40 points. The most fluent underestimated by 27. 67 point Dunning-Kruger gap. 2. Product managers outscore engineers on AI fluency (59.2 vs 53.7). Applied judgement beats technical knowledge. 3. HR people (ironically who make hiring decisions using AI) understand AI the least,...

I've been trying to join early-stage startups, but I've had very little luck so far. I've looked on Wellfound, LinkedIn, YC jobs, and a few other job boards. I've also tried reaching out to founders by email and Discord, but most either aren't hiring yet or never reply. I have 4+ years of experience working with React, Next.js, Node.js, and React Native. If you've successfully joined an early-stage startup, how did you find the opportunity? Are there any communities, websites, Disco...

Hey y’all, correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like running your own business makes it way easier to get a job later, if you ever needed to. I’m currently running my own consulting company, and I’m literally having 1:1 meetings with founders, CEOs, VPs, COOs, and so on. If I had to close down my business tomorrow, I feel like I could easily reach out to them, bypass HR, and ask directly for a position. Am I wrong? any real world experience on this?

Hi, I live in the US and have a decent job as a software engineer, that is covering my current expenses. The friend of mine, who lives abroad built a company and has sales and I see that there is a potential to actualy grow the company in multi-million business. I joined him to raise money and one of the US based accelerators already picked us up. In my understanding for me to be able to get the income similar to what I make at the moment, while working as a CEO of my own startup, I need to r...

Need the community’s help. Lemon Squeezy, Stripe, Paddle.... didn't get approval from them... Dodo Payments was working… until they suddenly cut off our access... We’re building from Bangladesh, and I know there are payment processors out there that support high risk industries and founders from countries like ours. If you’ve found one that actually works, reliable, trusted, and doesn’t ghost you after onboarding....I’d genuinely appreciate a pointer in the comments or a DM. s...

I'm standing at a pivot and I honestly don't know which way to go. More revenue for me, or lower cost for users. I built OpenVidi , a tool that turns one prompt into a full-length YouTube documentary: script, voiceover, scenes, animation, final file. I originally built it for myself, so I made it as cheap as possible to run. That's how I landed on the model I have now: users connect their own Google Cloud account, they get Google's standard $300 new-account credit, and they pay Google directl...

I had an idea for a fitness app that would basically put everything in one place. Nutrition tracking, workout tracking, progress photos, fitness content, streaks, etc. The idea was to make something where you wouldn't need 4-5 different apps just to manage your fitness. Then I started looking into it. There are thousands of fitness apps already doing basically the same thing. Now I'm wondering if building another "all-in-one fitness app" even makes sense. I could still build ...

I built an online platform to let founders meet and review eachothers projects all in one place, but as it is a community i need to collect founders all together at once, and i am currently lost on how to achieve that goal, does anybody have any advice on how to get past this step and reach the next one?

It seems like all I see is everyone else succeeding and sharing their successes. Or, that's all that reach me. For someone who is working full time in a miserable job and trying to build something successful of their own, it just feels like salt on a wound. Guy 1: I had no degree and make 150k a year haha life is swell! Guy 2: my software is making me 700$ weekly! Life is swell! Guy 3: I sold several companies now and live on a yacht, life is swell! I know that isn't representative of ...

Hi everyone! I have been building a tool, and I'm getting signups, they use the tool and still no paid users. What am I doing wrong? Here's what's given to user for free, 3 free videos. Should I add a trial for 3 or 7 days, but they should add a card? Should I just add a hard paywall on the dashboard and remove the free videos? How would you fix this issue?

Lately I got to know abt Jacobin Conjecture's counterexample (3D) and Openai's paper, If no human/s couldn't solve it till now can i conclude that AI is better than a human? I get that this is a narrow field of view, but looking at programming and other stuff makes me wonder about this question. For Jacobin Conjecture, it used the Chain of thoughts, reinforcement learning etc Basically AI today did what it's good at, processing tremendous amounts of data simultaneously which I think lead to...

Managers are saving over 2x the time individual contributors are with AI tools. and it’s just starting I had a conversation recently with a copywriting agency owner who let her contractors go because her own prompts were giving her the same output they were. I believe that's one of the reasons you get a 2x gap between managers and everyone else. In the same survey, 36% of managers said they're not likely to launch training for their employees on how to leverage AI, which makes the gap eve...

This is a weird one to admit but here goes. Spent the last few years home with kids, which was the right call, but now I'm in this fuzzy inbetween place where I'm starting to think about what comes next professionally. My background is HR and recruiting, which means I spent years evaluating other people's career gaps on paper and now I get to experience one myself. Very humbling, not going to lie. Anyway I've been using a few different AI tools to stresstest my own resume and do mock interview...

The EU AI Act is usually discussed as a European compliance issue, but its larger impact may happen outside Europe. Global AI companies may find it cheaper to build around one demanding regulatory standard than maintain completely different systems for every market. If that happens, European requirements could influence how AI is developed and deployed worldwide, even in countries that never adopt the Act themselves. I made a deeper analysis of how enforcement could reshape global AI regulatio...

What do you think? Could AI help the process so that chronic conditions could be treated, maybe even cured in the coming decades? Is it realistic to believe that? What kind of disorders could be examples where is helping the research right now? Could AI make the golden age of medicine come soon do you think? Are you optimistic?

Just came across this and honestly this is pretty wild. Researchers used AI to design completely new viruses that don't exist in nature. They then actually made some of them in a lab, and 16 of the designs worked. Before anyone panics, these are bacteriophages, so they infect bacteria, not humans. The interesting part is that some of these AI-made viruses were able to kill E. coli, including bacteria that had become resistant to normal phages. So yeah, there could be a genuinely useful s...

I'm looking for a new one and my last post got deleted. Midjourney is alright but it does something weird with faces and buildings when they're close. I've worked on my prompts quite a bit but nothing seems to work well.

To power its new West Texas data center, Amazon is investing in the construction of a new power plant that could be one of the largest single producers of greenhouse gases in the US, according to the New York Times. The new gas-burning plant in Pecos County, Texas has received significant investment from Amazon and, […]

X is winding down its existing Revenue Sharing program.

NextSlide says its team members are now working on ChatGPT.

Every company dataset I have worked with stores history as scalar columns: founded_year INT ceo_name TEXT headquarters TEXT revenue BIGINT Every one of those is a point-in-time fact pretending to be a permanent one. The moment you need to answer "who was in charge when this happened", the schema has already thrown the answer away. The failure is invisible until you query across time Take Intel.
