Interstate 70 in Colorado is very problematic. It is constantly backed up. Colorado needs to learn from this and get serious about rail for shipping and for human travel.

It's great to see other people working on this. It's a problem that needs solving, and you've solved it in a meaningful way. I have been building https://spoonme.kitchen/ for a couple of years now (but with a different focus) to help solve this problem and a few others that are meaningful to me.

One aspect that I've been really wrestling with is how can we make the end user experience of seeing a recipe better, while still providing meaningful income to the recipe creators who labor so much to share their stuff with us. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this. That to me would be the very meaningful, positive change: that end users get a better experience, and creators get paid. That's been my overarching goal and motivation.

The first sentence is your answer. The third word even.

The healthcare market. MARKET

Healthcare shouldn't be a market. That's why you're paying $40k.

I have the opposite viewpoint, and I lean heavily progressive in most of my views.

Healthcare in the United States isn't a market, and that is why it is so terrible. For instance, there is no reasonable ability to compare prices of services. Prices are entirely hidden. Then there is the "with insurance" price vs cash prices.

Healthcare doesn't function as a market, to our detriment.

One of the main things that I want changed for conversation mode is I don't want it to be so sensitive to any background noise. ChatGPT can be reciting back and answer and someone across the room turns a page in a book and it stops dictating, and then, instead of finishing the previous answer, starts to answer the same question in a different way. ChatGPT is way too deferential for any noise during the conversation.

I think this is true. It can super charge some bad takes.

But I've had the opposite experience. The average person is never going to read a scientific study, nor invest the time to find out the real details of any topic they are opinionated about other than simply typing a Youtube search and finding a video that is:

- Entertaining - The person has their same biases - the present the information in a short, consumable manner that doesn't require much investment.

In comparison to this dynamic LLMs are wonderful. They can reference scientific data. I have noticed that they do push back on bad takes (very gently) and steer people towards truth.

It's not that I think LLMs are perfect. They are not. But they are infinitely better than the average human at discovering truth.

I pay about $90/month for a small company I own. I've been thinking about moving off Slack, but this is a good push over the edge. I am going to migrate over to once.com/campfire.

> The company claims its users send and respond to 72% more emails per hour, and the percentage of emails composed with its AI tools has increased fivefold in the past year.

Is this really a good metric to aim for? Don't we want productivity tooling to result in less email not more?

I think Superhuman's CEO in an interview said their product is specifically catered to people who are seeking inbox zero.

For those people this would be a great outcome. The question is should this be the goal of most people? Probably not. But most people are not their ideal customer. They explained their ideal customer in depth in an episode of the Acquired Podcast.

Delete your comment. You're minimising the death of children.

Yeah I'm sensitive about this. I like many other parents of children who have been lost to genetic disease have good reason to be.

We can pause and acknowledge that life (and what that means) will change, while also acknowledging that for many it will be the easiest decision in the world for it to change.
