Fixed!! Thanks for finding that


The sibling comment explained. The web client is 16k or 32k, but you can pay their API $1.28 per interaction and use a full context on GPT-4-turbo.


To your latter point I did actually two tests with my girlfriend: I asked her to respond "as I would" rather than with what she thought the truth was, and then did another test where I just asked her to say what she thought. She improved when I told her to predict what she thought I would say—and that's the data I used in the article. But she was still significantly worse than the best GPT model

Re the information: I don't think so. The version of GPT that had access to only my most recent tweets performed better than she did, and she reads all of my tweets. In general, I think she has much higher fidelity data on me as an individual than GPT does.


Thanks for those clarifications! I think your article is very good, one of the top ones for this kind of anecdotal AI experimentation.


This is unsurprising. It was claimed that the algorithms developed by Cambridge Analytica and FaceBook during the Brexit campaign and the American 2016 election were able to predict behavior better than could friends or spouse:

OP here. That’s fascinating! Can you tell me where I can read about this? I don’t have any conscious fears of infidelity…


Well Freud in general tended to sexualize everything. He said people chiefly had two motivations - sex and killing. You can read scans his books for free online, but I don't think they really hold up. But I think "bull" is slang for a man participating in infidelity (not sure if your subconscious was aware of this). I think there's some symbolism around horns in particular in numerous languages (and the origin of some offensive hand gestures). So you have this describedly masculine and physically stronger presence in your house you don't know how to remove, along with the wife's pregnancy, of course Freud would jump fears of infidelity or inadequacy.

Of course it's all symbolism, so anything can be anything.

Freud also obsesses over how our mind (superego) is constantly "protecting" us from unpleasant thoughts (id), and proposes dreams are an area that leaks through sometimes. So from a Freudian perspective it's natural to jump to interpretations intense enough that they are worth being protected from.

But that's just Freud, he was right about some stuff and pretty wildly wrong about other stuff. I wouldn't read too much into it. My point is that chat-GPT has room to grow in its psychoanalysis.


Very satisfied Muse user. It's great for compiling lots of research, reading PDFs, and basically getting a good visual map of what you're learning.


Thanks Dan! Hope the Mac app is a good addition to your workflows as well.


Snowflake is a software Dracula. It latches onto its customers and drains their bank accounts dry, but their victims are happy throughout the process. They are a world-class company at “net revenue retention”—a crucial metric for SaaS businesses that describes the tendency for customers to increase their spend over time.


How and why early-stage startups sacrifice power for growth


I don't personally, but a lot of this stuff is relevant for B2C. I would say, though, using Google / Facebook ads to drive traffic to a landing page in B2C is an excellent way to start (even though I recommend against it in this article.)

You'll get a lot of the same benefits of cold calling (which is harder to do with b2c products.)


It's a pain in the ass, but worth it :)


Thanks for reading :)


Glad you enjoyed it! Usually anything you can do to help fake the supply-side of the marketplace is usually a good place to start.
