There's a lot of ways to use an LLM, the least effective is automating an entire process- yet it's the most compelling.

To your point, it's entirely a balance. I personally will record a 10-15 minute yap session on a concept I want to share and feed it to an agent to distill it into a series of observations and more compelling concepts. Then you can use this to write your piece.

Crunchbase Pro Account

Does anyone have any interest in splitting a Crunchbase Pro account 5 or 6 or 10 ways? Or is there anyone with an account already who would be generous enough to share?

Crunchbase used to be valuable even with the free version, but it's just so restricted now that it's hardly even usable. As a small startup, I want to find investors to try to reach out to, but I don't have $600 to dump on some lists.
