Can we make it have access to the "Now Playing" MacOS feature that plays/pauses whatever I'm listening to? It could be a Youtube video, a track on Spotify or a video on VLC.
I read the accuracy report and I'm yet to find on what basis is your accuracy score being built on. Is it the number of personas that re-post, like, comment, see, all of the above?
I think you guys might be onto something but I'm still skeptic as to whether you are the most accurate (on whatever metric). It's not surprising that you beat a survey of experts, or straight out of the box commercial LLMs.
I'm more interested in seeing how your model performs against purpose specific models that are currently industry standard. Unless you're making the claim that you're the first service to predict content engagement?
Have you ever wanted to write your life story but found it too overwhelming? I’m developing an app that acts as your personal interviewer, guiding you through your memories and helping you share them with your loved ones.
The app is designed for older adults who enjoy reminiscing but struggle to organize their thoughts into a coherent narrative. The goal is to preserve their hard-won insights and pass them down—to family members who may be too busy to ask the right questions now, and to future generations who would otherwise never hear these stories.
I have a working prototype that allows me to test the interview flow, and I’ll soon be sharing it with friends and family for initial feedback. I’m now looking for a designer to collaborate on the next phase.
Design will be a critical part of this app. The way stories are visually presented will be central to the user experience and will likely determine the app’s success. If you’re a designer interested in this kind of work, I’d love to hear from you. Given the text-heavy nature of the app, experience with typography and content-focused design will be especially valuable.
My great grandmother, who lived into my 20s, wrote a 10 page memoir about growing up - life stories, people, places etc... And I found it super interesting - I built a vacation around the places last summer.
I asked her daughter/my grandmother to do the same, but she wasn't interested. And then I've thought about the exercise myself - it's hard to think of things in my life that a future great-grandchild might find interesting. And it's not clear if my great-grandmother's story I find interesting, in contrast with financial hardships I did not face? How do you pick out the interesting from the mundane? What is most interesting about today 100 years from now?
And I can see the potential for core interview questions to help draw it out.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, I quickly came to that conclusion as well. It's put me in the novel position whereby product development is about finding the right prompt, and maybe even about finetuning.
Very cool! Would love to check this out. Have been meaning to interview my aunts for years to write down my family history now that my dad is no longer with us. A tool like what you describe could be super helpful.
Would love a link to the demo if and when you’re open to sharing. I’m a product designer but not looking for projects, I’m mostly curious - this is one of the more unique ideas I’ve heard.
Thank you. I for one appreciate the curtsey of expressing sympathies. I don't question the motivation or whatever. It's just a kind gesture.
I will note that I'm trying not to think of her death as a loss. It certainly is in many ways for grandkids and others who were just starting to get to know her. But for the rest of us, I like to think we have a part of our deceased loved ones with us that we now have the responsibility to cary forward.
I'm cynical in general, but this type of stuff always sticks out. "I'm sorry for your loss" from one nameless headless stranger to a different nameless headless stranger feels as sincere as an AI bot, and that's to say it absolutely isn't.
Same as people saying things like "Don't say no one loves you, because I love you <3" but it's in a forum like this, or on Reddit. You don't know them. you don't love them.
NotAnOtter smells like IsASkunk ... Why not just sit this one out instead of crushing the sentiment? I lost no mom in February and appreciate when people offer their condolences. And I'm this case, when I offer my condolences, I have at least some idea of what they're going through.
One of my younger brothers died a few weeks ago (he was 67; I'm 75). When people offer sympathy, I accept it and don't question their motives or involvement.
Did you use the hi@... email? I am seeing a hard bounce for that email. Not sure how to debug that right now. All my emails I have tested have worked. Could you try a different email while I debug?
I recently finished my PhD studies in social sciences. Even though it did not lead me to career improvements as I initially expected, I am happy I had the opportunity to undertake an academic endeavor before LLMs became cheap and ubiquitous.
I bring up my studies because what the author is talking about strikes me as not having been ambitious enough in his thinking. If you prompt current LLMs with your idea and find the generated arguments and reasoning satisfactory, then you aren't really being rigorous or you're not having big enough ideas.
I say this confidently because my studies showed me not only the methods in finding and contrasting evidence around any given issue, but also how much more there is to learn about the universe. So, if you're being rigorous enough to look at implications of your theories, finding datapoints that speak to your conclusions and find that your question has been answered, then your idea is too small for what the state of knowledge is in 2025.
This is spot-on. LLMs only cover the things that are already documented/debated. Research requires looking at the current landscape of facts and theories and noticing the gaps that can be filled.
It's worth mentioning that defenders of Prevost in Peru are saying that those allegations were manufactured by his political enemies. Prevost was active in the fight against the Sodalitium, a catholic society with ample accusations of brainwashing and sexual abuse. This society was recently supressed by Bergoglio.
I'm not even interested in verifying if these claims are based on randomly controlled trials when their outcome variables are self-reported imagined impatience and predicted behavior! By now in 2025, psychology studies should be painfully self-aware of the lack of credibility in their instruments, guess not.
Everyone who has been working on RAG is aware of how important source control is. Simply directing your agent to fetch keyword matching documents will lead to inaccurate claims.
The reality is that for now it is not possible to leave the human out of research, so I think the best LLM can only help curate sources and synthesize them, but cannot reliably write sound conclusions.
Edit: this is something elicit.com recognized quite early. But even when I was using it, I was wishing I had more control over the space over which the tool was conducting search.
