Masterpiece by openai to call their model '6', this model feels already behind

It seems like this is one of the most powerful models for the price, really didn't see that coming from Google
In the latest, a YC founder promises "instant interviews" for anyone who tattoos the company logo.

This is so inhuman and gross--essentially preying on folks' desperation. I'm quite saddened to come across this.

YC seems to be enabling things like these as of late.

Isn't this obvious?

In some categories, certainty and percentages make a lot of difference--surgeries, accidents. In some, they don't--surveys, grades.

It just depends on the category.

This is akin to saying something as obvious as more percentages are more than less percentages.

That's epic.

> used all my severance to go all in on it. Did you spend it on marketing btw? What did you find worked for your distribution?

Your story is super inspiring, so I had multiple questions, sorry haha. Want to be in the same places as you are.

I see, thanks for responding. Curious if this was an industry you were super familiar with?

Without revealing what your product is; how did you come across a good problem statement?

I've started on the bootstrapped train as well, also a senior engg.

I'd launched a pre AI software which grew to 5000 users and more and made me some money.

but post AI, I'm finding it hard to get into a non competitive industry. Like everything seems super captured already.

Curious, what does your SaaS do? even the general area is fine
