Thesis: The way we think about capturing product feedback is constrained by the way we had to process it.
Excited for a future of free-form voice note feedback from users that gets cleanly categorized, summarized, and "emotion scored" by LLMs

@faisalyaqub @NotionHQ @parteeksaran Say hi to @laurasideral - hope y’all have had the honor of working together

There are two different kinds of taste - Aesthetic taste and cultural taste.
The first one is very much about “what looks good”. Ultimately it’s pattern matching at multiple levels.
Second is about knowing what the culture/zeitgeist will respond to at any given moment.

Unpopular opinion but, taste is not the moat in AI. Designers keep treating it like an irreplaceable skill. But taste is pattern recognition (“intuition”) of great work. The gap between “AI slop” and “great design” is closing every month. This is for what’s worth.

Very nice - we played with something similar recently, specifically for icons. Runs locally in a fun lil Mac app or via CLI.

Imagine turning any image into a vector (now you actually can) → Convert raster images into editable vectors → Simplify and control color output

@bnj @MaxDiCapua It is! When we were training models for SVG generation a year ago I saw the same thing.

We're cranking on a lil model that can draw.
Cute, endearing, and slightly brain-breaking to see its progression through epochs match that of a child learning to draw.

I do think we'll see the rise of "authenticity" as a value pillar alongside quality.
The woodworker vs Ikea.
Already happening in UGC and a lot of graphic design.

I wonder if there's a market for *actually beautiful & intent-fully designed simple apps. Been browsing the App Store for some really simple apps (think Weather, Water counter etc.) and it's INSANE how ugly most apps are. Pure AI slop trash but... they have great reviews for some reason. Most people are probably satisfied with "it gets the job done" but there must be people like me who kinda identify themselves with the types of apps they use? I don't want to use those ugly apps. I want to "feel great" when I use them. Stupid example maybe but there's people that use the cheapest $20 suitcase they can find and there's people that want to use a $1000 Rimowa. I think despite all the AI slop out there, there's a chance to stick out with good design. The challenge is just getting your app surfaced in the sea of the slop. I think people like @asallen are a great example of that idea. Small shower thought, but I'm kinda tempted to try a few things.

What timeframe is required for a prediction market to become a slot machine?

Resurfacing with some new things soon. But also, gaussian splats have been an interesting way to augment training data. Especially good for drowning out perspective from why a model learns two things go together.

I know that last RT was meant as a dig, but I think it looks quite cool.
