A few side projects I have

Confabulistas - https://www.confabulistas.com.br/catalog

A catalog of Brazilian fiction writers with natural-language semantic search. Author biographies are chunked and embedded via OpenAI embeddings, stored in Postgres with pgvector, and queried by cosine similarity against the embedded user query, then LLM rerank. The site is in Portuguese, but the search accepts English queries, so it can be tested directly.

Parliant - https://www.parliant.ai

an AI-conducted conversational survey platform. I envisioned, designed, and built it end-to-end, leveraging AI-assisted coding and integrating advanced AI features.

Touchline Shouting - https://www.touchlineshouting.com

A web game built to explore AI as a moderation agent on systems with public conversation. You play as a coach typing instructions for your player. Repo can be made public for potential employers.

A lot, I mean, about 80% of my ”não” (I speak Portuguese) are becoming just ”na”. And about 50% of my ”mais” are becoming ”mas”.

“o” and “i” are next to each other at the top row, so I wondered if the keyboard got smaller and my thumb automatic moviment became discalibrated.

But… I started to often see ”na” where it should be ”não” in other people’s texts.

Turns out it is a bigger issue it seems

I learned the opposite, that the term spectrum is used when it is not same problem to different degrees. That's how the autism spectrum was explained to me, because the problem differs over the spectrum. In opposition to "level" or "gradient", which is intended to be something more linear over the same dimension.

I believe this redefinition of the term comes from how a "rainbow spectrum" is perceived, as different colors (and not as it is defined, as a linear degree of wavelength)

I suspect they wouldn't. I suspect companies that ghost and post fake jobs wouldn't even reply. And companies that have real job posts would reply and have a chance to convince the job is real.

People already have to scroll a ton of job posts that are not for them (due to stack, location, seniority, whatever) and the [-] button is pretty efficient in hiding long discussions.

The [-] button is a pretty good solution for long discussions in a job post.

Let seekers share their experience is a pretty useful signal, even if there is no way to know if the seeker is telling the truth. But downvotes are even more secretive and are allowed.

Doesn’t it affect big tech companies? Only startups?

I would guess the opposite, with big companies being much more savvy and influenced by fiscal incentives.

In my mind, they were all vegetables, since they are no animals or minerals. As it would be in Portuguese.

Edit: thinking about it, he wanted to make a joke about Mr Potato, but ended up creating a captcha for non-English native speakers. He could try selling that idea to ICE lol

Interesting development though. Nice to see something that is both cool looking and, apparently, useful getting traction.

Still, companies like OpenAI and Twitter are doing just that. Thus losing money.

Will AI evolve to be again as regular software or will the business model of tech AI become closer to what traditional non-tech companies are?

How the WalMart of AI will look like?

Does SaaS with very high prices and very thin margins even work as a scalable business model?

Another note is that the word “canibal” also exists in Portuguese and they conscientiously chose the (maybe neologism) “antropófago”. Which kind of means the same thing, but using Greek radicals. My translation to English would be ” Anthropophagy”, not cannibalism. The intention was to make clear the allegorical use of the term.

I am thinking about the regular one on text, not mono on code.
