<p>Thinking about it 2 second more. Maybe unlimited puzzles but you pay to see the animations of the solutions. That would be a nice and valuable upsell if i notice i come back a lot. The Paywall feels limiting to my habit enforcement, is the overall take.</p>

<p>Only played paddle twice but played a lot of badminton and would like to play more paddle.<p>Love the concept. Feedback: more explanations for beginners. I didnt know what ”mine’s up/ your’s up” means.<p>When you guess wrong, also show what the right answer would mean (lines, animation and explanation)
Also more than 5 puzzles per day for free tier please. For me to even begin the habit i want to spend more than 2 minues a day here. After i feel i could convert. But i’m not paying for a habit i dont yet have and might not establish. 
Good luck with the product!</p>

<p>My understanding is that coaching is about helping the individual solve the problem himself/herself.<p>Mentoring is about adding information or skills such that the individual becomes more capable and thus are able to solve a problem.</p>

<p>_all_ models I’ve tried continuously, and still, have problems ignoring rules. I’m actually quite shocked someone would write this if you have experience in the area, as it so clearly contrasts with my own experience.<p>Despite explicit instructions in all sorts of rules and .md’s, the models still make changes where they should not. When caught they innocently say ”you’re right I shouldn’t have done that as it directly goes against your rule of <x>”.<p>Just to be clear, are you suggesting that currently, with your existing setup, the AI’s always follow your instructions in your rules and prompts? If so, I want your rules please. If not, I don’t understand why you would diss a solution which aims to hardcode away some of the llm prompt interpretation problems that exist</p>

<p>I never suggested they were unambiguously bad, I meant to propose that it is a valid concern to talk about.<p>In addition, with your argument, should you not legalize all drugs in the quest for maximising profits to a select few shareholders?<p>AFAIK, the workings of addiction is not fully known, I.e. it’s not only those with dopaminergetic dispositions that get ”caught”. Upbringing, socioeconomic factors and mental health are also variables. Reducing it down to genes I fear is reductionist.</p>

<p>I feel I could argue the counterpoint. 
Hijacking the pathways of the human brain that leads to addictive behaviour has the potential to utterly ruins peoples lives. And so talking about it, if you have good intentions, seems like a thing anyone with the heart in the right place would.<p>Take VEO3 and YouTube integration as an example:<p>Google made VEO3 and YouTube has shorts and are aware of the data that shows addictive behaviour (i.e. a person sitting down at 11pm, sitting up doing shorts for 3 hours, and then having 5 hours of sleep, before doing shorts on the bus on the way to work) - I am sure there are other negative patterns, but this is one I can confirm from a friend.<p>If you have data that shows your other distribution platform are being used to an excessive amount,  and you create a powerful new AI content generator, is that good for the users?</p>

<p>Thanks for the read. I think it's a highly relevant article, especially around the moral issues of making addictive products. As a normal person in the Swedish society I feel social media, shorts and reels in particular, has an addictive grip on many in my vicinity.<p>And as a developer I can see similar patterns with AI prompts: prompt, wait, win/lose, re-prompt. It is alluring and it certainly feels.. rewarding when you get it right.<p>1) I have been curious as to why so few people in Silicon Valley seems to be concerned with, even talking about, the good of the products. The good of the company they join. Could someone in the industry enlighten me, what are the conversations in SV around this issue? Do people care if they make an addictive product which seems to impact people's lives negatively? Do the VCs?<p>2) I appreciate the author's efforts in creating conversation around this. What are ways one could try to help the efforts? While I have no online following, I feel rather doomy and gloomy about AI pushing more addictive usage patterns out in to the world, and would like to help if there is something suitable I could do.</p>

<p>Have you used it? Haven't heard about it but tbh I can see how it would eventually outperform cursor and/or windsurf. As LLMS get better, and more background tasks etc, will come, I don't see a sustainably moat around IDEs generally (except switching cost, but if it is mostly vs code... )<p>saw you did below. What is your experience so far? fast requests are great. Anything big lacking?<p>I was using roo code for a bit and it was cool to see how fast it was going compared to windsurf.</p>

<p>As an engineer founder I can only agree this is likely solving a real problem.<p>1) I don't understand your product based on your demo. It looks like a simulated thing, but it doesn't tell me about _my_ user experience. How much eye to eye contact would I break using your app? Where is the video? How does it look if the bot is with me instead of calling through your app? Those type of questions are unanswered by this quite lackluster 15 second demo.<p>1.5) The demo also feels very scripted. A call is way more messy.<p>2) Your "investors" page shows 3 types of products: transcription, in sales call, and sales training. I'm curious, do you really need all three right now?<p>3) Your logo should be remade. When sized down (to the size of your homepage) its not clear what it is. I had to zoom ni to understand it's an ai generated oil painting of a sunset (I presume). I believe a logo should be clearly identifiable in all presented format, otherwise it doesn't fulfill the purpose of a logo. (Look on appicon designs. Apple has a lot of guidelines on how to rerender your logo for lower pixel environments if needed, just for this purpose. A simple initial fix is just to remove complexity from it).<p>Cool job though! I can definitely understand the potential.</p>

<p>I don’t mean this to come off as offensive but maybe you should talk with someone?<p>you: author is a dick<p>Someone else: disagree, cheating is bad<p>You: when cheating I learnt things<p>Me: cheating is still bad<p>You: The world has bigger problems than cheating can’t you see that?<p>You’re diverting and changing the topic in every post. It would be very hard to professional, or even have a social dialogue, in this way. I’m not sure what you’re after.

<p>By breaking the agreed-upon rules you gain resources and others lose resources (energy, morale, money, w/e). That the activity impacts the cheater in other ways is beside the point if its a dick move or not.</p>

<p>Consistently getting high (weed) greatly increases dopamine baseline, leading to other things being “harder” to start doing. It also increases negative thoughts (anxiety). weed, alcohol and other substances can lead to negative loop where you consume to feel better and feel worse the day(s) after due to the consumption, leading to increased appetite.<p>There are many ways out, you just have to find one that works for you. Previous poster’s suggestion are good. A psychologist can help. Detox. A trip to a new place. Late night hobbies with friends. Exercise is great.</p>
