I just launched Artificial Ignorance today! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Hey everyone! Author of Artificial Ignorance here. Like many of you, I've been fascinated with all of the advancements in AI recently. I started exploring AI, and wanted to document as much as I could. Artificial Ignorance isn't a daily email with a million links to click. It's easy to understand explanations and hands-on, practical projects. Plus, a weekly roundup of 3 key AI developments...

Yes, absolutely. I'm working on some case studies of e-commerce companies that are using AI to improve their workflows. There are companies like Hypotenuse AI that are building AI tools targeted at e-commerce. The case studies will be posted at ignorance.ai

I made a prototype open-source smart assistant, it's meant for people to use their own OpenAI and ElevenLabs API keys. The writeup and links to the code are here: https://www.ignorance.ai/p/i-mad...

Not sure if I'll have the launch ready this week, but I'm working on launching my newsletter, Artificial Ignorance! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

I'll start - I sell physical products online and I've been experimenting with Hypotenuse (https://www.hypotenuse.ai/) to generate better product descriptions and copy. I'm still figuring out the best way to use it but it's been interesting so far.

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

My layman’s understanding is that the following sequence of events happened: - In 2021 SVB saw a mass influx in deposits, which jumped from $61B at the end of 2019 to $189B at the end of 2021. - As deposits grew, SVB could not grow their loan book fast enough to generate the yield they wanted to see on this capital. As a result, they purchased a large amount (over $80B!) in mortgage backed...

Getting Things Done is a classic. Here are 3 of my favorites, though they're more related to productive company-building than personal productivity: - Find Your Why (by Simon Sinek) It's really easy to get lost in *what* you're doing, and forget the *why*. But the why is what ultimately drives people. - Traction (by Gino Wickman) Really useful frameworks for thinking about organization,...

An incomplete list: - Churn rate - LTV (Lifetime value) - CAC (Customer acquisition cost) - Customer engagement - NPS (Net promoter score) - MRR (Monthly recurring revenue)

Reddit is good if you can find the right communities.

I'm with Maxwell - spending time with family. Gotta have balance.

The really key question is what happens on Monday. Prior to this week, 93% of deposits were uninsured (above the $250K FDIC limit), which means there are a lot of companies with tens or hundreds of millions (like Roku) stuck at SVB. In all likelihood, companies are going to get 100% of their deposits back if they can wait long enough. But if there isn’t a buyer by next week we’re probably...

ChatGPT is not going to "kill Google" or revolutionize the search engine space. That being said, I think it's going to drive a huge amount of value in many different areas, but I think focusing on consumer search is missing the point.
