The way to deal with this is to constantly do live events, and actually build organizational muscle. Not these massive one off events in an area the tech team has no experience in.

that’s difficult to reproduce at scale; there are only so many “super bowl” events in a calendar year

Congratulations on the launch!

I just shared this on Slack and it looks like the site description has a typo: "A serverless AI infrastructure platform [...] customers experience a 40%+ cost savings as opposed to AWS of GCP"

i haven’t personally used the AI pin, but based on reviews, it doesn’t feel like these devices are going to feel productive until a much higher % of queries is answered on-device (without going to the cloud).

MKBHD asked his pin what he was looking at, and in the time humane’s pin to take a pic, send it up to the cloud, decide what model is most appropriate, and narrate a really long (possibly hallucinatory) answer; he simply took his phone out and google lens answered correctly with a lot of time to spare.

I know these are first-gen products and the fact that this one would presumably have a much higher degree of context on my personal life might make this better (without speaking to privacy implications). Still, over-reliance on the cloud and the fact that this doesn’t interface with my phone (where most reminders, alarms, messages, etc, happen) is going to make these devices a tough sell.

I kinda want us to end the embargo just so the failures of the state of Cuba stopped being blamed on the USA.

I was so excited to see an engineering designer role open, but I can only do remote right now. Either way, I’m a big fan of the product!

Well it’s a Chinese company. So they are beholden to the CCP.

Zoom? A company publicly traded on the Nasdaq and funded in San Jose, CA?

I do therapy and group therapy on Zoom, are they going to train a therapist AI? Does this go around HIPAA privacy rules? Would they keep a file on phi?

I'm curious, what happens in your scenario if you reply 'no'?

On the upside, if the tax-preparation industry is destroyed or severely diminished, it would make it easier to reform/simplify the tax code at a later date should a future government be so inclined.

On the downside... no way would I use a tax preparation system provided by the IRS. It's bound to be a UX nightmare, like all government software, there's an obvious conflict of interest (the IRS has no reason to help find deductions and/or assist me in minimizing my tax bill), and I'd rather not give them any more visibility than I have to into my personal finances.

Update for downvoters: Woah! Sorry for casting aspersions at the Tax Man.

I would. They already know how much I need to pay them/how much they owe me. It should be as simple as a text message I reply “y/n” to.
