The #HustleGPT movement[1] has been using ChatGPT as the CEO of their ~$100 budget startups. (I am also doing the challenge). Wonder about new risks of company data being leaked from companies who are 100% ChatGPT-based and built totally in the open.

(shameless, https://pitcharchitect.app / https://twitter.com/PitchArchitect is my 'hustle') and yes I know the title cuts off on mobile :( will fix shortly)

To be clear, this is basically a joke right? Like, I get people are genuinely curious about what the results will be (as am I), but surely no one believes this is actually the most effective way to invest $100?

Well I’m not taking it too seriously myself, but I gotta say, it’s been extremely fun. I see it mostly as a technique for learning the real limits of ChatGPT, not in answering prompts accurately so much as interfacing with the real world.

Yeah and super curious how the various efforts will go-are some people way better at prompt-writing and also raw skills and they will pull ahead and build something useful? Or is it so good that nearly anyone can follow its directions and make a functioning small business? Will be interesting to find out.

To me it sounds a lot like just trying to find interesting ideas for engaging, cheap side projects, without having to think really hard or do a lot of research about what to do with them or how to handle it if they succeed. And hey, if it fails, it's only $100, so why worry?

"built totally in the open" seems to make "risks of company data being leaked" moot

I guess Cypto isn't working out atm?

Not sure what you mean? If you are referencing my username, cryptography is going strong!

I made this account before cryptocurrency even existed I think.

Ah I apologize for the presumption, I just have seen so many Cryptobros going all in on ChatGPT and it sort of grinds my gears - I'm worried there will be all sorts of highly marketed get-rich business ideas sold to people now crypto is in a bear market.

Um...I hate to break it to you... :)
