Today I had a happy customer tell me that the clip we made for her "looks amazing"! No idea how far away we are from product-market-fit ✨ but responses like this make me want to keep looking.

@SciFiRemnant @SeldonCrisisPod I'm reading Aurora at the moment, so I can't listen to it yet unfortunately 😄

[Basil @BasilPH]

I wanted an image from Stable Diffusion, invoking that it's possible to be sad even when things are objectively good. I accidentally opened the door to hell. Prompt: "A person is sitting in front of delicious chocolate and candy. The person is crying. Matte painting. HQ, 4k"

[Basil @BasilPH]

@threehourcoffee It's been great so far. A while back they decided to only go after "startups" and not "small business", which left a sour taste for me: https://t.co/4b6OR6is12 I considered switching to Mercury, which seems to have a bit less of the VC-flavour. Ended up not having time.

[Basil @BasilPH]

@SeldonCrisisPod @SayyadinaHeresy I hope the cap is larger if we use the API directly, but there's definitely a limit because the models can only store so much of context. We might need to summarise in batches. Still some programming left to do 😉

[Basil @BasilPH]

@SeldonCrisisPod @SayyadinaHeresy I was considering of adding ChatGPT to Fanfare, and allow users to create a summary of their episodes. You think there's a use-case for that?

[Basil @BasilPH]

@SeldonCrisisPod @robert_zubrin Interesting. We've done some small tests with ChatGPT where we fed it some transcript and asked to extract highlights. We couldn't get it to return verbatim text though, it was always slightly altered.

[Basil @BasilPH]

@SeldonCrisisPod Ah, interesting. So it might have hallucinated stuff. Crazy how hard it is to tell, even though I did listen to the episode.

[Basil @BasilPH]

@SeldonCrisisPod Yes, we all miss unhinged Bing 😄 Did you feed it the URL to an Active Transcript or an RSS feed? I'm amazed at how much from the actual show it included, so it did gain access to the transcript somehow.

[Basil @BasilPH]

@jasoncwarner @TrungTPhan Oh, I'm curious about this. What do you think the main reasons were? I would assume that most were based on the fact that Ubuntu phones themselves never took off.

[Basil @BasilPH]

@SciFiRemnant @SeldonCrisisPod @Gio851 @OptimizticOzzie @cand3la @SayyadinaHeresy @antipodal It's such a great read. I rarely had my mind blow by a series that simultaneously felt so easy to read. I hope this makes sense 😅

Active Transcript is now up, for reading while listening (or not) and allowing search, copy & paste.

@SeldonCrisisPod It does work!

[Basil @BasilPH]

@robert_zubrin What an amazing episode! I loved the insights about entrepreneurial space the most. Here's an Active Transcript that we made for Joel: https://t.co/j6fTzO8DHg

[Joel at Seldon Crisis @SeldonCrisisPod]

Very excited about this one!

Just saying.
