I have always been good at this and I am pretty introverted. You don't want to force conversations, just start by saying 'What's up?"'. Keep doing it over and over. The is all proved our in social psychology and proximity theory which in a nutshell means you are more likely to get to know people you see more often. You just need to let people know you see them and over time raise the bar.

This is a Benjamin Franklin hack right?

Jobs had it right a long time ago. Its a bicycle for your mind.

Would love to see this in action. Anything you can share? Also, what gear is used for this? Having recently been in charge of a scoreboard made by Daktronics for high school games, I was intimidated by the UX.

Thank you!

I'm intrigued and need to see some images or videos now.

Here’s the initial post about! https://www.instagram.com/p/DUeWPKPEqQB/?igsh=bjJiM3VlM3ZxZ3...

I have this delusion of grandeur about starting a movement to take all of the mostly-idle 3D printers in people’s homes and to use them to create little tokens of joy in people’s neighborhoods.

What is the opposite of horrors and why don't we talk about those ever.

What would be the incentive to engage in the tactic when the proof is ultimately in the pudding when the model hits the streets? Who would ultimately benefit from fudging these numbers?

Anthropic would def benefit as benchmarks are almost always quite useless vs real life use.

How specifically would they benefit. People flock to them based on the hype and then the model sucks and they leave?

This is the only downside. You really need to curate good content.

I don't know about everyone else's experience but I find Youtube to be pretty good at finding interesting content, especially for music. Curation is necessary but it does work.

Interesting. One of my many many complaints with YTMusic is that it does discovery very poorly. It fills any radio/discovery queue with one or two new songs followed by all the songs already on my playlists.

Other big complaints include no ability to prevent it from substantially using my cell data despite telling it to do everything over wifi. I've taken to just removing network permissions from the app unless I want to add something.

IMO you don’t need curation/algo - you need social network effect where you follow people who repost similar content you like. Your graph grows and if you don’t like something - cut them off. This is how soundcloud works.

I'm not using Youtube Music, just regular free Youtube with an ad blocker.

Works fine for me recommending interesting educational and edutainment content.

I'm quite aggressively removing videos I don't like from my watch history, or flag "don't recommend" channels I know won't be for me. If I'm not careful it'll recommend crap for a while.

Fully agree. There is so much good content and being ad-free is just a really great experience.

Because of basic economics. The opportunity size of AI for NVidia is unlike anything we have ever seen. Of course they pivoted.
