@LeeHepner and the internet supposed to make things easier for businesses to go directly to the customer? I promise people won’t care if the service isn’t named Uber/Lyft as long as the price is good and driver’s get a background check.

“Uber has developed algorithms for tailoring customer prices based on what they believe individual customers would be willing to pay and tailoring payments to individual drivers so they are as low as possible to get them to accept trips.” 👀👀👀👀

Uber is Jack Welch style financialization on steroids. nakedcapitalism.com/2023/08/hubert…

@ABrandNewDayAFC @LeeHepner Something similar to what you describe existed in Austin when Uber/Lyft weren't operating here called "Ride Austin." Once Uber/Lyft came to town it didn't survive long.
English
@LeeHepner Is it POSSIBLE for people to make a car service that works like Uber but it’s a co-op where they have a set price for rides, get the majority of the sale profit and the rest pays for insurance, overhead, etc? I just feel like there is a way to get around this. Aren’t apps +

The housing crisis is making our cities horrifically boring.

i interviewed a japanese bespoke shoemaker last month and asked why are there so many craft-based businesses in japan, like bespoke tailors. he said rent is relatively low in tokyo, so if you have a passion for making suits and you only have a few customers, you're fine.

@heyalexfriedman I once had a close family friend who was on the verge of getting divorced (from my wife’s best friend).
Went on a long trip with him, and when I got back my wife anxiously asked what I had learned.
It didn’t come up.
English
I was talking to a guy friend of mine and I asked him what his best friend does for work and he said “I don’t know”.
I was like, “what do you mean you don’t know?”
He’s like “idk I’ve never asked and we don’t talk about work.”
They’ve talked weekly for 20 years.
Is this a guy thing??!?

@kaseyklimes I kind of love this, but I agree it probably wouldn't work in most companies.

We all talk about the importance of experimentation, but so often it doesn't happen. We all have more to do than time to do it.
At Sumatra, our vision is to use AI to make it easier to ship an experiment than to ship an untested feature.
Join us.

Sumatra is so easy that @lemonsqueezy quickly deployed AI-fraud solutions for their merchant platform to identify suspicious behavior across the customer journey in realtime

@taylor_gilbert Taylor! I don't know if you remember me from our days at Towson U, but I was hoping to get in touch concerning your jewelry. So nice to see your face! Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful daughter!

@kushaanshah Yeah that's weird. Unless it's supposed to be about wonka in his youth or something.
English
Not to be a canon guy but isn’t Willy Wonka supposed to be like… atleast 40? 🤨

@adampnathan How does it define "best"? Isn't that judgement the hard part?
English
Startup idea:
An AI that can compare your marketing briefs, ad copy, blog posts, landing pages, and case studies to the best benchmarks across the internet.
And then create tasks for things you can improve before you send it out to your team.

@andybudd For me, this was the core issue. What I was taught was the core of design was so contrary to my actual experience on the job. So I switched to PM.

@michae1becker Ain't that the truth. The most expensive best thing to ever happen to me.

Burying the lede here of course: a baby is not a watch or a mechanical keyboard.
No, a baby is a couple of Maseratis or a room full of vintage synths

@johncutlefish I can't tell if you're for or against... ;-)

So much of the advice for startups boils down to "Talk to your users", but so many of the research-focused SaaS products advertise the "benefit" of spending less time talking to users.
English
A chatbot is a UI with no affordances. No matter how good the AI is, this is still true.
There's so much more we can do with reasoning machines.

@icreatelife The Postman. Lousy movie, but the book is excellent.

Do you know any movie where A.I. is a force for good?
