elo ranking based on user preferences. you can vote on prompts and submit new ones in the 'video arena' tab

the youtube video is clearly AI voice lol

Did the AI voice make the panel come loose?

what makes you think there won't be an ROI?

I think at this point you're going to have to answer "what makes you think there will be any"

lol isnt this just plotting noise

who ISN'T making $200K+ is a better question

i'm totally not jealous of salaries in USA :P

Don’t believe it. In most markets in the US most even “senior” developers don’t reach $200K. Check salary.com

google does not break out search volume or search revenue.

but YC companies have reported some 15% drop in referral traffic from google.

That sounds like an upper bar for any actual change bearing in mind (i) some of the referral drop will come from people happily still using Google but getting more of their answers from Google's AI slop at the top of the results page and less from clicking through to corporate blogs and (ii) YC companies tend towards targeting early tech adopters

RIMs best quarters came after the iPhone was introduced.

I’m not saying Google is “doomed”.

no, websites/pdfs were designed and laid out visually by humans for humans.

if you are just parsing the text you’ve lost a ton of information encoded in the layout/formatting.

that doesn’t even yet consider actual visual assets like graphs/images, etc
