The new Uncanny Valley: you know you're chatting with a human support agent, but you also know they're using AI for responses.
"But my key takeaway would be that if your product is just a SQL wrapper on a billing system, you now have thousands of competitors: engineers at your customers with a spare Friday afternoon with an agent."
An astute observation and good for users. Can confirm having spent a lot of years in enterprise software.

Wow, what an interesting and immaculately crafted episode. Your questions and the dialogue that arose as a result of them really crystallized my understanding of reputation and web of trust concepts.

gm, good people. ☕
We get very little in Nashville and if doesn't last long. So we have to be ready for the rare snowfalls.
Test drive.
Cheers. I grok the concepts. Just not deep in the details. 😀
Thanks. Way over my pay grade, but sounds promising. 👌🏻
High quality customer interviews are a superpower for figuring out which features to build and which to kill. I've conducted hundreds over the years, working toward product-market fit.
tl;dr When you ask the right questions, body language tells you what matters most. Transcripts tell you the rest.
Here's a complete LLM prompt framework to get started, created from my real-world usage, including the exact interview script I follow.

The bare-bones MVP is that you clone this repo, point your LLM at a directory of transcripts, and tell it to go.

Trust Revolution: S02E14 Why Ads Keep Winning

🙏🏻
Those are powerful moments.
Perfect is a high bar. It all depends on the product and target market, but there are time-tested guidelines for effective ad copy:
Focus on benefits over features. Answer "what's in it for me?" from the customer's perspective.
Speak to a specific pain point using the customer's own language.
Create an emotional response first, then provide rational justification.
Lead with the most compelling hook.
Eliminate every unnecessary word.
End with a clear call to action.
It might be somewhat effective for devs, but not at all for users. This is why the Keet copy stands out.
gm, good people. ☕ Happy Friday.
"If the good people inside the system can't fix it, there's only one other option. We need separation of education and state. As Bitcoiners will appreciate, the solution is decentralized education."
This is the way.

Thanks, Gunnar. There's definitely universality to this.
First production run of Cyberita knives are under way. I am really looking forward to bring these blades to marked. Its been a long journey, over a year in the making from early RD to paper sketches, simple prototypes, 3D drawings, advanced prototypes and now finally first production run.
My plan is to sell these knives exclusively for bitcoin only. Hope the bitcoin only marked is big enough to take a few of these off my hands. I really do not want to deal with fiat anymore if i can help it. Stay tuned.. #knifestr #EDC cyberita.no

“If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.” —Linji Yixuan
Kill your conceptualizations, your expectations that anyone will have the answers you seek.
As for a buddha, so for “your” politician. None of them has the answers. All will disappoint.
