  • Marketing Plan for Venice.ai: Insights from a Simulated 100-Person Focus Group

    With some careful prompting, Claude.ai can help produce genuinely useful marketing plans. Through trial and error, I’ve found that framing the task as a fictitious 100-person focus group discussing the company works better than just asking for answers directly. I split the group into 20 random breakout rooms of 5 people each, let them deliberate, then bring everyone back together to synthesize their input into a set of recommendations. From there, I generate a 5-20 page report, followed by a 1-page summary.


    Let me demonstrate on a random organization I have absolutely no affiliation with: Venice.ai

  • 50 technologies that would make hearing aids work better according to artificial intelligence

    “imagine a hearing aid that uses artificial intelligence to read lips, and puts it in context of the sounds being made to give the wearer a better guess of what is being said.  these are better than hearing aids that just interpret sounds.

    tell me 50 different technologies that would make this work. in other words, give me 50 independent options that are unlike the other methods. number them 1 through 50. make each point be no more than 10 words. be as science fiction as you would like. the technology does not have to exist yet.”

  • Can someone develop a new US Actuarial Salary Survey?

    Three months ago, I asked that somebody combine the public data of the three major US actuarial salary surveys into something better.

    To my knowledge, nobody has done that yet, unfortunately.

    As a casualty actuary, I’m curious to see it. Actuaries and data scientists, fill in the inquiry form to the right of this post and tell me how you might approach it, how long it would take, and how much you would like me to pay you to do it.

    I am only interested in an analysis of the publicly-available data, because once it’s public we can do whatever we want with it.

  • Say Hello to AI-website ArtificialSong.com and Crypto NFT project TheFuckinFriends.com

    The first two modest projects of 1000 Startups LLC are ArtificialSong.com and TheFuckinFriends.com .

    ArtificialSong.com is a very basic WordPress site that shows what artificial intelligence can do with songwriting. But what was really interesting, and what I need to get back to, are what I learned about the WP plug-ins available out there to do complex AI tasks.

    TheFuckinFriends.com is a derivative NFT collection based on the The Fuckin’ Trolls, a collection originally distributed in 2021. I’m using the Friends to test my theory that it’s more productive, with less heavy lifting, to plug into an existing NFT community, than to build your own. We are producing additional derivative NFT collections.
