Amazon built the Everything Store. We’re building for the Everything Moment, using AI to bring transparency and trust to one of the most broken, chaotic industries out there.
Would love your thoughts!
We initially were developing a system that we had hoped could handle everything and eject any workflow issues to a human so the operations team could kick the machine. We were hoping to avoid an interface all together on the customer side.
After a few versions and attempts at building this system, we moved towards a traditional app where we focused on building a product people wanted and automate parts of it over time. But even the parts we automated needed an interface for customers to spot check our work. So we found a great designer.
...Before we knew it, we were building a traditional company, with some AI. The company is doing well and people love what we're building, but it's different than we imagined.
We still believe in the long term vision and promise of the technology, but the article is right, this isn't going to be an overnight process unless some new architecture emerges.
In the mean time, we're focused on helping people get from A to B easily using whatever means necessary, because moving f**ing sucks. If you're moving soon or know anybody who is, we'd be happy to help them. -P
i.e. if I stand in the center of my room and take a video of the room spinning around slowly over 5 seconds. Then reverse spin around for 5 seconds.
Will it see the same couch? Or will it see two couches?
Move AI automates the moving process. You have a busy life. ...and now that life needs to be somewhere else. Talk to us for 30 minutes and we'll handle everything for you, down to the smallest detail.
We are building a mobile app with a web-based admin backend. We use AI (vision & LLM's) to solve several time-consuming problems and to ensure a magical experience.
email phil@moveai.com whatever you think is relevant if you're interested.
If you present pixel perfect designs for feedback, feedback is less specific because users think the product is finished. However, when it’s a pencil sketch, users become critical and critique everything because they don’t think anything is set in stone. I try to present LoFi everything until final sign off.
It’s a large, stale market with incompetent competitors and no technology. I feel confident the idea will work and scale. The people with an anti-gun sentiment are not my customers.
Globally there’s nothing stopping this idea from interfacing with governments or other buyers abroad but initially the market is US.
We realized we were calling each other too often asking where the other is and just decided to let tech solve the problem. Now I can push a button and see how far away from home she is.
If I decide to do something sketchy, I can turn off location temporarily and just lie to her about what I was doing if she checks while I was crime-ing. Same as the pretech way. :-P
But nothing is ever all about politics.
Hybrid warfare exploits legitimate fault lines.
So to defend against the weaponization of these protests, what do you do? I’m this case, capitulating to the demands may work. But next time? How do you protect against trolls trying to start fights and cause real issues?
Food for thought.
If for instance, that is the plan, how would you as a free nation defend against this? Their ham handed answer is censorship. But this is backfiring. So what do you do? Serious answers only.
No amount of searching for this video on google could find this video. 20 minutes. I was infuriated. My brain started going to dark places. Is this censorship?
No. Google sucks now. Somehow. They killed the golden goose.
I fired up Bing. Typed the title of the video and found 100 copies instantly.
I now use Bing. And it’s not bad. Generally I can find what I’m looking for. It’s like a slightly worse version of what Google used to be. But it’s an infinitely better version of what google is now.
I also use Brave search engine but that’s worse than bing still.
If you’re looking for interesting party conversation, try opening with “I recently switched my search engine to Bing.” The conversation goes to fun places and most people will agree that Google has gotten much worse.
On a serious note, if the CDC told them to test for something, wouldn’t that answer the question about what the monkeys could have had?
But now I get to make cool shit for a living.
Honestly believe if you give me enough time and money I can make anything. Worth it.
Anyway, it took 2 days in bed for me to recover after. Brutal.
Towards the end of that time period, my brain stopped processing information in the 30 degrees at the edge of my peripheral vision on either side. We were at a restaurant celebrating being done and the waiter kept teleporting into view at around 60 degrees off my center line. Very startling. Done with it now since I don’t have anything nearly that stressful in my life, but back then, it was a godsend.
Modafinil has a 15 hour half life so my main complaint was my sleep schedule was about 26-28 hours so I was constantly shifting. Adrafinil is only the active isomer in modafinil so it’s more potent. I didn’t like it as much. Even at a half tab it still kept me up longer than modafinil. Also modafinil makes your pee smell when it’s metabolized whereas adrafinil not nearly as much.
