I ran content and educational pages for Kraken a few years ago. This was just as AI was getting useful. I was told by the head of security, the guy who coded all the original software, not to use any outside AI tools to proofread or edit. Then, a few months in, the CEO, Jesse Powell, asked why we were so slow in producing content - we had to edit it all by hand, as you do. We explained the security issues and he said "Who cares, just use it."
So on one hand they are the most secure business on the Internet and on the other hand YOLO!
I'm a former TechCrunch journalist and I've seen thousands of pitch decks. I wrote a short, readable book for founders about how to make pitch decks. It's free on Kindle and if you want a PDF copy just comment.
I started a podcast about this. I'm sick of the rah-rah confident founder BS we see on here and all over the Internet. Sometimes we need to learn from our failures. Anyway, check it out. Keep Going: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/keep-going-a-podcast-a...
I live in Brooklyn and noticed this kind of thing before the pandemic - I'd say 2018 or so. I suspect (but I can't confirm) that there was recently a glut of aftermarket mufflers and exhaust systems that were able to amp up a cheap car to make it sounds cool on the BQE. As a technologist it's been interesting to see the growth of this stuff as more and more people figured out what to order on Wish to make their Nissan sound like a tractor.
If you're overweight and unable to lose anything try bariatric surgery. Our food culture is not built to allow overweight people to survive and at this point the ONLY way to do it without massive willpower and endless failure is a surgical solution. Saying "Eat less" isn't an answer any more effective than telling an alcoholic to "Drink less."
So on one hand they are the most secure business on the Internet and on the other hand YOLO!
