Why does a cap table company need 2000 employees again?

I wonder how many people type “what is this” when they land on the Google homepage for the first time.

I asked “what is this” and it responded with:

Google Lens is an application that allows users to search and identify objects, translate text, and perform various tasks using just a camera or a photo. It is available on both Android and iOS devices. Some key features of Google Lens include: Using the camera to identify objects, such as artwork, plants, or everyday items. Translating text in real-time from over 100 languages. Copying paragraphs, serial numbers, and more from an image and pasting it on your phone or computer. Searching for songs by humming. The application harnesses the capabilities of advanced AI models, such as ResNet50, to identify objects and provide seamless integration with Google Image Search for further learning and contextualization.

yep, good point, I do need to sanitize the email. I do have bot detection and throttling enabled so not super worried about the email flooding. thanks for testing, you deserve a book!

lol, after posting this I immediately got several attempts to break it. feel free to try - I will send a free book to anyone who can break it.

After building a free-for-all prompt myself (see profile), here’s how I protect against these attacks:

1. Whatever they input gets rewritten in a certain format (in our case, everything gets rewritten to “I want to read a book about [subject]”)

2. This then gets evaluated against our content policy to reject/accept their input

This multi layered approach works really well and ensures high quality content.

Honestly, as a Figma user and fan, this is great news. For Figma employees probably not so much.

We’ve trained a whole generation of people to “prompt” Google to get what they need from the internet with a few keywords (often autocompleted before you’re done typing), so asking them to now start writing elaborate prose to get what they want is just going to take a lot of time. I also think this is a temporary phase where we’ll converge back to keyword autocompletion soon (or other more efficient ways of interaction).

Awesome - because of the current GPT limitations it takes a couple minutes to update the cover image with something nice (because it needs to be an asynchronous process): https://instabooks.ai/products/43fe990c-4533-5abc-757a-f4e3d...
