One weird trick is to tell the LLM to ask you questions about anything that’s unclear at this point. I tell it eg to ask up to 10 questions. Often I do multiple rounds of these Q&A and I‘m always surprised at the quality of the questions (w/ Opus). Getting better results that way, just because it reduces the degrees of freedom in which the agent can go off in a totally wrong direction.

I often like to just talk out out. Stream of thought. Gives it full context of your mental model. Talk through an excalidraw diagram

Hello everyone.

I’m the Co-founder and CTO of Krea. We’re excited because we wanted to release the weights for our model and share it with the HN community for a long time.

My team and I will try to be online and try to answer any questions you may have throughout the day.

Hi. Thanks for this. What is your goal of doing so? From a business standpoint. Or is it purely altruistic?

I suspect very strongly that we live in a "post-community" world. There are no communities, and haven't been for a very long time, likely since before your grandparents were in their prime. We have any number of entities that function as surrogate communities, but without the benefits the real thing would provide. Quite often though, they have many of the disadvtanges of those, plus a few extra.

The community you're most aligned with, that you rush into hoping to feel as if you fit in, it might be more like an angler fish just waiting for you to jump into its jaws.

Well, we have it mildly solved on the internet layer (hackernews). Issue is these bonds aren't very strong because they're not supported by physical space (can't use evolutionary hardwiring). This is why I think network states are good because they're a projection of community on the internet layer onto the physical layer. I think community is very important, and the world will tend more and more towards happiness (generally speaking), so the resurgence of community living I think is inevitable. I think the atomization is a temporary blip caused by increased convenience (tiktok, amazon).

I think the characterization of a community as an angler fish has some merit but might be a little pessimistic. In any case, it's way better than interacting with people who you know are definitely not your community.

Right. I feel like cultural fit is very important. You need to find the community you're most aligned with (share same memetic space) and go to them. This is why I think network states will succeed

I'm already quite busy, maybe you could take a stab at it?

Sure

The short word for this kind of product is 'spam'.

Much like the Viagra emailers of old, this is not an honourable occupation and those that say it is are not good people.

jackphilson · 3 months ago

Sounds like you've identified a pretty good market opportunity to fix it.

Hi Bhuwan,

Congrats on your product, it looks very professional.

But...

> identifying emerging trends early and quickly creating relevant content.

This does not sound 'good' to me, this sounds like piggy-backing to generate clickbait - have i got this wrong? This sounds like a tool to make better spam.

jackphilson · 3 months ago

Why make irrelevant content?

totally agreed here. i think my goal primarily with the mask generation was to test out how effective openai's capabilities were.

we're currently working on pipelines that limit the the involvement of AI to various tasks. for example, when generating an ad there's usually logo, some banner text, and background image.

we can use gpt-image-1 to generate the background image, another LLM to identify the coordinates of where we place the logo, and just add the logo onto the image. this is just one example!

jackphilson · 3 months ago

Why do you agree? I think we should outsource as much as we can to abstraction. We've been doing it forever.

I really think the new AI panic is not as important as the original social media/algorithmic feed addiction panic. In fact some of the core problems with AI is that it’ll be used to generate slop for the algorithmic feed.

“The feed” is the tech world’s original sin, always will be. I wish there was someone around Mark Zuckerberg that would tell him that he needs to lead a movement to close the Pandora’s Box he’s opened. Be like Oppenheimer, Mark. You’ve become the destroyer of cognitive power worldwide, you should lead the movement to end it.

Everything else we’re trying is lipstick on a pig.

I think its also our responsibility to create a product to get people less addicted to it.

I think the feed is good. Were just so early it's not tamed yet. Can imagine in 5 years there will be an agent between the hardware and the apps to block what you dont like.

Nobody will watch anyone's "creations". The TV or whatever device watch on will observe what you and everyone else engage with and how you interact with it and create content for you on the fly, just like Instagram and TikTok's feeds do now.

AI creatives can enjoy the brief blip in time where they might get someone else to watch what they've created before their skills become obsolete in an exponentially faster rate just like everyone else's.

Then everyone can just get their own personal movies and infinite content stream. Honestly people would probably like that given how atomized society has become.
