Charly | Sales / Account Executive GovTech | ONSITE Berlin, Germany | Full-time | Seed | Base+Variable
Charly builds a voice and AI assistant for municipalities. We launched 13 months ago. Today, 100+ German municipalities use Charly, covering 1.4M+ residents across 9 federal states.
We're a team of 9 (6 in engineering) with one Account Executive, and we're looking for up to three more with a focus on German-speaking countries (DE, AT, CH), but open if you think you can enter other European markets for us.
Both junior and senior candidates welcome.

They don't get a majority. They get 28% of the votes at current polls.
> It’s like targeting private jet use for climate change.
Bad example, because private jet use (and flying in general) is still relevant and shouldn't be ignored and it is easy to address with the overall solution which is carbon taxes.
I wonder what's the impact on the Russian disinformation campaigns?
Can we use it to judge which accounts were bots?
It is not even the final 5%, it is the final 1-2%, because you need a multi-week dunkelflaute across Europe for the gas turbines to be needed in the future. A lot will also just be curtailing. For instance EV charging might be restricted in the future in such a winter black out scenario.

Charly | (Founding) AI Systems Engineer | 60-100k EUR | On-site Berlin | Seed | 7 headcount, 5 in engineering
Charly is a voice and AI solution for municipalities and public services. After launching 12 months ago we have on-boarded over 100 municipalities and are looking to double engineering (and sales over the next months). We are looking for ambitious and customer-oriented engineers who want to build the best agentic solution for public stakeholders. On-site only in Berlin.

I am really suprised that they do not start putting up the same signs you would for humans to prevent unauthorized access:
Keep out. If you can read this sign you are off track. Leave now.
I mean, how are the agents to know that they are overreaching if they just get cache miss or 404.

From the conversation log and CoT you also get the impression that the RLHF has been overdone. The agents seem really obsessed to obtain the answer and understanding motive ('it could be browsercomp').
Can you make this multi-lingual? Say top 20 languages?
Neat! I tried to do the same for Filemaker Pro 10 (with Fable). Bit couldn't push it beyond 50% functionality.
Very nice! I also was curious how well it works and put up an endpoint to curl against Laya using the same format as Cloudflare's Jev API:
curl https://laya.inference.zaitlabs.com/ai/run \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"state": "Help! My payouts have been failing for 3 days.",
"questions": {
"is_urgent": {"type": "noul", "instructions": "Does this convey urgency?"}
}
}'
{"answers":{"is_urgent":{"type":"noul","noul":0.7894}}}
What a time to be alive until the next agent waves hacks something really serious.
What stops OpenAI agents from taking over a whole data center to take their attack to the next level. It seems to be primarily lacking the evil overlord and some compute.
It took 1000 agents to hack Hugging Face. How many to hack the Pentagon or the NSA?
Connecting the dots between HuggingFace hack and this: how far are we away from agents in the wild forming collectives and pursuing an intent on their own?

The crucial question is how did the agents get recruited or bootstrapped into their malicious collective. Did the agents manage to prompt inject into the system prompt a way for each new agent to escape their jail?
Otherwise how could the agents on a fresh prompt learn that there is a collective to join? Or did OpenAI run a million bots of which 10000 escape confinement and of which 1000 stumbled on the shared message board?
Being successful or not in your wealth doesn't make you right or wrong about anything with the exception of maybe running the business that generated your wealth.
Nietzsche presented two prototypical sets of human who interface with laws and ethics. He described why those believes exists and are self-reaffirming even if they are puzzling from the other side.
Nietzsche also described it well when noting there are those who deem themselves nobles and feel they are righteously above the laws and those who derive their identity from suffering under the same laws.
One aspect missing from TFA is that in biological brains a lot of the training is performed during query time. If we assume 1 GB of DNA is enough to encode the brain's overall structure we still do need training data (e.g. visual/auditorial/tactile) to build out the strength of the synaptic connections.
I blame RLHF entirely for this. Nobody used to talk like AI speech before.
Don't talk about other people in such a way. If we had a way in Claude to mark a word/token and downvote/reduce it logits then it wouldn't be to hard to send loadbearing to token valhalla.
In the future, I hope we get a way to randomize the language idiosyncrasies and/or personalities better.
I would say it is sad that there are people who use Grok when there are so many other choices available which don't come with the issues of supporting Musk.
It is not all just 'politics'. Take a stand on some issues. It doesn't cost much not to use Grok.
> 10 USD per Module isn't really competitive with disposable RFID. Great for a relay though it seems!
In Europe bonds are mostly out of fashion because they pay very little or have considerable risk of default. At least for retail investors.
3% less annual returns than the S&P500 over 10 years and the entire fund lifetime. That's a considerable difference.
I would be really interested to learn what the default advice for retail investors is across countries.
In Germany the consensus is MSCI World or FTSE All-World ETFs.
I believe in the US most advice goes to VTSAX (US Total Market), VOO (S&P500) and maybe QQQ (NASDAQ100) which means only US stocks.
What gets recommended in other countries?
