Well you need to invent a new proxy: the shorter the content the higher the value.

Its not rocket science fella... the irony is this is the heuristic that should've always existed.

I have a pre-determined length Im willing to read, if someone can 't boil it down to meet my max length, I wont read it - it goes in the trash. Job done and not my problem.

I run a firm and this is a rule - if you don't adhere you get fired.

But someone can just prove whether its possible to 10x no?

Put out completed projects w.r.t products people are familiar with. E.g. show me that you can put out a scalable clone of IG...? Why don't these examples exist?

Like come on, I would LOVE to see that! The average person doesn't care about pet projects. Show something people are familiar with, and use on a regularly basis, that can be produced in a fraction of the resources.

ermmmm, OAI et al could've done a better job in prepping the community for what they intend to do but nah.

Youre deluded.

Fantasy land stuff.

These firms will never accept your bot coming in and no you probably won't switch away.
