this is a great use of skills, creating a custom API that is LLM friendly code execution via skills is extremely underexplored rn

> youʼre OpenAI > hire a small army of ex-Meta ad and monetization people > a Slack channel just for ex-Facebook staff > brings in the full “targeted ads” playbook > launch a browser > users install it, and OpenAI collects personalized, granular data at scale > it’s a browser-shaped surveillance device > it’s a mapping machine of your workflows > itʼs a reverse-engineering tool for the internetʼs data pipelines, deployed at scale via their users > launch Sora 2 > a TikTok‑style social network > infinite AI-generated video feed > you create or remix clips, upload your face, become the cameo star > every scroll, like, remix is another data point, another ad signal > their model learns exactly what hooks you and dials up the dopamine > you’re not just watching, you’re training their algorithm for better ad targeting > viral videos driven by your input + their algorithm = your attention refined into $$$ > “your feedback helps us improve the experience” (yeah, for advertisers) > launch “Pulse” > reads your chats while you sleep > remembers you wanna visit Bora Bora > knows your kid is 6 months old and > “thinks” of your baby milestones > suggests developmental toys next > “it's for your convenience” > actually laying the groundwork for targeted ads using memory > internal memo: some people already think ChatGPT shows ads > OpenAI staff: “might as well then” > congrats, you’re back in the Facebook era > except this time, you’re training the algo yourself > Buy a GPU > run your LLMs locally > reject adware LLMs before it’s too late

I am grateful to live in the $2.99 Uber rides era of LLMs

With the current AI tools, vertical AI SaaS seems to be winning a lot. The foundation model labs will come for these verticals but it’ll be a while before that happens.

Angel investing is easy peasy.

if i asked the people what they wanted, they would’ve said bigger models
