“Co-working space for cats doing startups”

> Scratch

> The PURR-fect Place to Meowtivate Your Business

> The concept of a co-working space for cats doing startups is one that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The idea behind it is simple: provide a place where entrepreneurial felines can come together to work on their businesses, share ideas and resources, and receive support from like-minded individuals. Such spaces typically offer a variety of amenities and services designed to cater to the needs of feline entrepreneurs, including comfortable places to sleep, plenty of toys and play areas,

I’m disappointed it’s not using Dall-e to create matching imagery…

I don’t think the official one has an API yet and I did try some of the open source models but their output was too slow. Even the company logo that we generate right now takes 20-25 seconds :(

The company logos are indeed being generated using Dall-E mini!

My request: "a weekend retreat service where men sexually harass their coworkers"

Result: Mansplaining[1]

My favorite highlight:

"The service provides a safe and confidential environment for men to engage in sexual harassment without fear of reprisal."

Need to ramp up the content filter for sure. There’s one in place already that’s recommended by OpenAI but clearly not working well enough lol

Do you really need anything more than the one from OpenAI? I mean are you legitimately concerned that someone might sincerely do harm or place you in legal trouble based on stuff like this?

I say this because when I read that it was obvious this wasn’t a serious pitch, it’s also not an idea that would ever get funding and it simultaneously highlighted the ability for these content generating tools to produce really dumb things that no human should take as serious… Legitimately the realm of good satire and black comedy.

Turns out, there are (confusingly) two different APIs that can serve this purpose: moderation [1] and content-filter [2]. I was incorrectly using the former (which can be lenient) and unfortunately also costs money... >_>

But I agree with you, switched to the content-filter API now. I am mostly just trying to make sure this meets OpenAI's stringent guidelines.

I requested "A social network entirely devoted to evil", and I enjoyed the result:

I love how your example compared the market cap to Missouri's GDP, somewhat implying there something particularly bad about Missouri.

Also: "Related projects: Mastodon for Android"

Definitely didn’t think of that. I had seen this trick in a pitch deck a few years ago and just added a scraped version of the comparison here for laughs.

Congress?

I was going to say Facebook

Or Harvard…

4chan?

"AI pitch deck and executive summary generator": https://www.deck.rocks/display?job_id=3204&hash=230748554572...

Just noticed a funny bug. It found and listed deck.rocks on producthunt as its own competitor!

FYI Checkout https://text-generator.io to save cost on gpt-3, pays to shop around and also try a lot of different prompt styles that can sometimes work with the smaller cheaper models,

With text-generator.io your only charged per request + a free tier so it's much more predictable and and you can generate lots of variants in one request. It's also API compatible so only a one line change, it doesn't do the dalle stuff though I don't think the competitors or open source image generation has caught up yet but won't be long

Although 100 Free requests per month isn't gonna help much unfortunately :P

Oh neat! Gonna try it out! :D

Entertaining!

Dang. Funny but clearly I gotta ramp up the content filter…

I wrote significant parts of an academic paper today with gpt3. It isn’t a novelty. I get better and better at working with it to produce amazing things!

Do you mean you actually wrote parts of a real paper you are writing, or just produced convincing text that reads like one?

If the former, how do you use it to do that, and what are the limitations?

First, I put my title and abstract in, then have it generate the introduction. That worked weirdly well. Then, I had a few ideas I was having trouble writing, and so I'd give a prompt and then take what it gave me, improve it, and use it as a prompt again. It really generated some excellent material.

However, if you ask for quotes with citations, I think it just makes the shit up. Careful with dealing with a non truthful oracle. But, with critical thinking, playfulness and a strong handle on the intellectual material, it can be a great writing assistant!

Interesting, thanks! I tend to get hung up on writing papers. I go round and round, and it takes me ages to get to the actual thing I want to write about. I may give that a go!

Yeah, it’s like you get to the “edit” stage much faster! And, you can get a lot of “obvious” ideas that you might not have considered. Also, the text tends to be looser and less harmony than my typical academic writing.

Sorry had to lol “are you cheating or not cheating, cuz I’m definitely interested in cheating”

Heh, I guess it could read like that. I just can't see how GPT3 could be used to help with a genuine paper (like copilot does for code). If it's just cheating, that's not very interesting.

An idea I've had while writing books and how GPT3 could help.

The interesting/fun bit is creating the insight. Like 5 bullet points. Then you need a good anecdote to drive the point home. Another 5 bullet points.

Expanding those 10 bullet points into prose is the boring part. GPT3 could do that and create a vomit draft for you. Then you can polish the draft into good prose, which again is the fun part.

Just based on what I’ve seen I feel like you could feed it the insightful bits that were original and it could word it eloquently. It would work better/worse based on subject.

It is definitely a very interesting application. It could be especially useful for identifying and finding missing citations (using a retrieval transformer perhaps).

A well designed system could discourage and flag potential plagiarism in the generated content.

I requessted “AWS notification system for Site Reliability Engineers to monitor complex distributed systems” and got a “NotFoundError” [1].

Here is the job [2], just in case it resumes later. Maybe this is simply a transient error.

Software for lie detection in sales pitches

https://www.deck.rocks/display?job_id=9750&hash=263850042082...

this is a legit antithesis of this project and, to be honest, a potentially very useful product imho

The sad part is that most VCs would totally fall for these ideas.

Wonder if there’s a market for an automated “bullshit deck” detector —- inverse of this project.

Not sure if it is implemented as a GAN, but if so, then a bullshit detector is half of its design.

OP, is this just a clever way to see what ideas are the most popular and then build something accordingly? It would be interesting to see if there are any common themes.

I hadn’t really thought it’d get popular enough for something like that to be honest. But, that does sound like a neat blog post in the making. :)

Worked for me this time. https://www.deck.rocks/display?job_id=5219&hash=686299789117...

Is there a reverse-GPT3 system out there that can compress back the BS/noise?
