How many times do we have to see this... just because it's 'DeFi', doesn't mean all the rules of TradFi get thrown out the window

Origination is the single most important part of any credit operation. Fancy decentralised infra is worthless without good quality credit origination

@VinnyLingham Not really. What utopian period in the past are you referring to where everyone cared deeply about people they had never met?

@rebroff @alium_ai Yeah, looks like journalists still have their jobs for a while yet.

Have some ideas to improve, want to try a reflexion step & then regenerate or edit based on that - but really ramps the cost with GPT-4!

@SeanDoesLife Just dump everything in a single folder, zero tags & hope that LLMs solve this problem.

In the meantime - search works pretty well.

@marclou You didn’t give it long enough to adapt & too much all at once.

Unhealthy food = happiness is just a learned adaptation that can be unlearned & replaced with healthy food = happiness.

I was getting bored with all that dry AI news 🙃 & wished satirical sites like @thedailymash and @TheOnion would cover AI more.

That's why @Mark_Catherall & I created our own AI-generated satirical AI news publication @alium_ai. GPT-4 powered & open source, more info below 🧵 👇

[Tom | emergent @emergentXY]

The open-source repo:

- Monitors AI news headlines @gnews_io
- Transforms them into satirical articles 3x daily serverlessly @modal_labs
- Checks for moderation issues
- Posts to a statically generated @jekyllrb site
- Syndicates on Twitter

Welcome to The Alium, your new go-to place for AI-induced giggles. If The Daily Mash and The Onion had a baby, and that baby was raised by a machine learning model, that would be us! 🤖🎭

@catalinmpit Just buy a Vision Pro instead, much cheaper.

Not hard to build rn but expensive at present. Cost for quality voice generation is 23x the per minute cost for transcription.

How much are Podcast creators willing to pay for this? If it’s $50 per podcast per language, then maybe something here, but don’t see how it’s defensible
