This would be incredible. Back in high school we would play this in a friends backyard. His parents had around 10 acres of woods, creek, and open field. Would be amazing to have an organized event with so many players like this.

Oh, interesting, I didn't realize that's how it worked. Thanks for the additional context around this. Guess it's not as upending as I thought it could be.

I guess basic human decency and respecting the privacy of your customers is too much to expect from Tesla. Elon will make for a fascinating case study for business schools someday, building a spectacular brand and burning it all down.

It's going to be interesting to see how the lawsuits against OpenAI by content creators plays out. If the courts rule that AI generated content is a derivative work of all the content it was trained on it could really flip the entire gen AI movement on its head.

I'm glad to see tools like Nightshade starting to pop up to protect the real life creativity of artists. I like AI art, but I do feel conflicted about its potential long term effects towards a society that no longer values authentic creativity.

This is why I always say the best software developers are the ones who work well with others and have a low KDR IRL.

As a founder with a long history as a PM, I would try to narrow in on one really specific use case that is valuable enough for someone to (eventually) shell out $18/month to solve. Reading over the site, it's not immediately clear to me who really needs this service, what problem they have, and why they would sign up.
