wakana··on Show HN: I built a free tool that explains any SQL query in simple English
How does your tool differ from, say, when I paste an SQL query into ChatGPT and prompt it with "Explain this SQL query for me, please"
wakana··on The creator economy: the top 1% and everyone else
I mentioned, I am not as comfortable having a back and forth on substack than I am on HN. That is why I deleted the comments on substack, as they were not relevant to LLMs (or "GPT-3" as you like to call them)
wakana··on The creator economy: the top 1% and everyone else
I am not as comfortable having a back and forth on substack than I am on HN. I am not sure as to why people who use tools like [1], [2], [3], [4] have to declare as such that the parts of the content may have been edited with help from computer tools if the end goal of conveying the information has been satisfactorily achieved. This seems like a rehashing of the "AI generated art is not real art" debate [5] again.

wakana··on The creator economy: the top 1% and everyone else
I posted on this thread earlier too: Hi! I am the person that wrote this, and used GPT-3 and a few other writing tools to help me wordsmith it. All the points, however, is original work and not AI generated. I am not a native English speaker, so I have been using these tools to avoid awkward sentences/paragraphs. (Clearly this has not been the outcome I was hoping for)

As for the erroneous citation to Forbes: there were two links, one to Forbes and the other to Digiday to backup the next point in the outline I wrote. While transferring the content from Huggingface to the substack editor, I missed that in the proofreading.

Welcome to Digital Nomadland

A Portuguese island created a village for remote workers, promising community to the newcomers and prosperity to the locals—then delivered on neither.

wakana··on The Signal App and the Danger of Privacy at All Costs
The ability of the Times to portray anyone they don't like as a right-wing nutjob is remarkable
wakana··on I am done. I give up
In retrospect, I also feel that lack of experience in sales was a major issue wrt my skillset. How would you recommend someone like me (with a mostly technical and academia-oriented background) to approach learning sales from scratch?
