They take a look at the human elements of the hobby. The human condition underneath all the dystopian imagery. A lot of art and its meaning. Heder does a great job immersing himself in this field.
Lots of John Blanche art, too :)

So Jon Heder (of Napoleon Dynamite fame) made a movie about the grimdark world of Warhammer.
Jon: Looks at concept art. "Is this still the demon side?"
Tuomas: "No, these are the good guys."
🤣
Just released today. Fascinating look at the miniature hobby with honest curiosity. https://t.co/cq9bKeAiv7

This is a great signal.
And while they’re working on the algorithmic side, I recommend relentlessly following great people and engaging with them so that your own network of affinity-aligned followers gets to connect with them as well.
Thanks for focusing on this, @nikitabier

I believe that this will ultimately be the direction of development for AI systems, away from the big monolithic pay-per-prompt API systems as we have them now with OpenAI and Anthropic, towards licensable or even open-source small, locally deployable models that are good enough to do extraordinary work without having to be as creative or capable as humans.
I personally use similar systems already for data extraction purposes, and they are spectacular for Podscan. I don't need AIs to come up with a poem or make music; they just need to sensibly figure out who is hosting a podcast and who's the guest. Don't need more than that.

Scott Jenson wrote about LLMs recently:
"Ultimately, a mature technology doesn’t look like magic; it looks like infrastructure. It gets smaller, more reliable, and much more boring."
Run-of-the-mill, reliable, small models. Built into our tech stacks.
No magic. They just work.

Most experts have no clue about how to give advice.
If you're interested in a hyper-subjective after-the-fact narrative full of self-delusion and inherent bias, ask a founder what they'd tell their younger selves.

Ridiculing and dunking on people online is the ultimate self-own.
In the short term, it gets you attention from people calling you out or enjoying divisive content.
In the long term, it attracts the absolutely wrong people and gives you a net-negative reputation.

In short: even being moderately good at a thing nowadays has a perfomative angle to it, either because you feel obligated to show your progress much more, or you're inundated with others' "bad work" that's much better than your own "good work."
As a consequence, the tools we use to work on the stuff that matters to us tend to have one particular kind of feature that was never really there a couple of decades ago. In my podcast today, I talk all about what that feature is and how we can get it into our services.

LLMs are ALWAYS hallucinating their answers. It's just that sometimes, we agree with what they hallucinate. That's when they're "right."
Whether an LLM answer is correct or not has nothing to do with the LLM and everything to do with your ability to verify and judge the result.

My favorite idea from today's newsletter is the government contract marketplace (and also the training program idea).
I personally know MANY very qualified contractors who shy away from these jobs because of competitive pressure and feeling overwhelmed.
They need help. And once they understand how to do these things right, these high-earning professionals are a VERY lucrative customer base. Just saying ;)

This is why I love the Podscan Ideas newsletter. Every day, I get both educated and entertained.
Educated because I learn about new frameworks, approaches, and market gaps.
Entertained because... well 🤣 https://t.co/jvGqzoim7P

Did you know I have a newsletter where I share my entrepreneurial journey?
Tomorrow, II'll share a few thoughts on the moat-shift we're seeing in the software founder world right now. And it's not just AI. There's an expectation shift.
9am tomorrow.
You might like it :) https://t.co/waL9eujIMu

Big fan of idea #10 in today's Ideas newsletter, because a) I do this a lot for Podscan, and b) I WISH more services would have video content in their FAQ and documentation.
I know it's hard to keep up with product changes.
That's why people don't do it (and churn happens). https://t.co/szAX9VUV4m

Yeah, same here. Might have to do with the fact that the LLM operates inside a well-designed codebase that was started pre-AI.
Still. I have seen massive success in detailed prompting and intense code reviews. Much faster, and much better.
