Be amazing at sales and start selling the product before it exists, and devs will show up to build it with you. Thats your leverage.

The dumbest thing we do as startup founders is to not share equity with one another. We end up over-exposed to one high risk asset while VC's enjoy all of the benefits of diversification.
Here's a quick thread on a framework that could work...

If you refer a company to HF0, they get in (and we agree that you actually referred them), and they then exit, I'll give you 25% of my personal carry at liquidity time.

I didn't put that anywhere in the prompt where is it getting that from??

When I say I can’t believe the stuff coming out of HF0 / ai hackers these days, this is what Im talking about..

skip your seed round and come build the future with us :)
HF0 now invests $1 million uncapped into every team.
Regular applications open today. Deadline Sunday.
The top repeat founders in the world can accomplish an unbelievable amount with $1M in HF0 and don’t need to take on the dilution of a traditional seed round… (1/5)

A lot of founders are still resistant to equity swaps because they believe in themselves more than they believe in other people, but trust the math.
It's better to own 20% of your company and 0.5% of 20 other companies, than 30% of one thing.
We need to unionize.

After 13 hours - Because it's faster, and works for the interpreter steps, I could now potentially layer in more pre-dialog-inference interpreters to set up that davinci-002 call to be smarter. Lots to think about.

xmas eve and I'm working on my bot. I'll be publishing this soon, the bot is now able to recall details from much earlier in convo (out of the prompt's conversation buffer)
the ability to remember is key to making bots that feel like they actually know us.

This morning I finished my longest ever fast (80 hours) longest continuous light deprivation (~70 hours) and longest self-guided meditation retreat.

What each GPT model today is best suited to:
davinci-002: slow kShot emulation
davinci-003: slow instruction following
gpt-turbo-3.5: fast classification, JSON manipulation & chatGPT clones
gpt-4-8k: last mile dialog gen
gpt-4-32k: expensive, valuable tasks like doing your taxes

hf0 is a 12 week residency that will take place in sf starting feb 1. the focus of our cohort will be on AI
pricing is structured like YC but we try to be much cheaper - on charging 2.5% and investing $250k on a SAFE.

After 3 hours - This is a chat thing, so I'll test it on the less chatty parts of my chains to see how it works for those, e.g. analyzing a conversation to output a JSON describing what schedule should be created. Wow it is doing a great job of this. this is amazing.

Dear web3 poets. I have completed a prototype (local / offchain) version of the SONN3T poetry NFT publishing tool. It lets you create a little insta-like collection of poetry as seen below.
Test it out and send feedback would LOVE your thoughts! 🙏💕🥲

I pledge to give founders my most unfiltered, authentic advice even when it doesn't align with my personal interests.
But don't be surprised if I advise you to join HF0 lol. I spend way too much time around this program to not see the incredible impact it has on teams. 😄

weird observation: the same things that are hard for stable diffusion to render: hands, text, and specific numbers of things, are also the things that are hard for our brains to render in a dream state.

After 12 hours - Ok ok, this isn't the end of the world. I'll keep using :shakes head: davinci-002 for the final dialog generation. Sadly, this means I won't really get substantial latency improvements...

Proposal:
Start-up founders should create personal LLC's that are the beneficiaries of their equity in their own startups.
Then, they'd be free to swap shares in that LLC with other founders who have done something similar.

HF0 is intense and people think we're crazy for running these batches back to back to back.
We are.
But we'd also be crazy not to. There's no moment like right now to start something new. Apply at before Sunday night for priority review!
HF0 is now the most selective AI residency in the world.
Last batch, 2500 teams applied. And we still only work with ten.
Early application deadline for the next batch is this Sunday.
Apply now: (1/5)

two takeaways for me:
1) so many people see a little bit of themselves in

and this is one of the most powerful qualities a person can have.
2) humans don’t trust planes, we trust pilots. we dont trust committees - we trust indivs. AGI *feels* way scarier w/o Sam driving

Asking yourself what OpenAI won't do, and is therefore safe to build as a startup?
Look no further than creatively applying AI to a specific utility-driving application.

Putting this demo day together was one of the biggest accomplishments of my career. Culmination of months of visioning, recruiting, weeks of grinding in the program and practicing 24/7 for over a week straight to get the pitches to perfection. Everyone crushed it.

I'm working on a web3 poetry publishing tool that would allow writers to easily mint 28 char x 14 line "square poems" sort of like the poetic web3 equivalent of an instagram post.
If you want to collaborate or have ideas on what would make this a better tool for poets, hmu 🙏💕
