Seriously. Some people are here just to shit on others’ work.

which outcome provides the most scientific benefit?

which one contributes more to our collective brain?

​

the millions of simulations that fail

or

the one that solves the problem

​

wasn't viagra a hair loss drug with an "unfortunate" yet common side effect identified during trials :P

​

is the AI looking for "alternative uses"?

Hi, and thanks for this AMA.

I've read that AI could be used for reducing the amount of computation necessary to model really complex things like protein folding. Does your work touch on that, or are you otherwise able to comment on whether or not that's true?

In general, how much success have you had in "predicting the result of experiments before we do them"?

Lastly, while I realize you're a company and seeking to make money, do you have any standards in place that you're committed to to avoid price gouging people and/or taxpayers for access to the results of your healthcare-related research?

Overall I agree, there's going to be a lot of fear that turns out to be overblown and in the end most things will adjust like with everyone having a calculator, cell phone, internet, etc. And it's still going to be obvious who took shortcuts through everything.

Really where I find the time savings is that it eliminates paralysis by analysis which is a big time waster for me. Let's say I need an article for my business for ten benefits of social media automation. The largest time investment for me is deciding on my ten points. Instead I can ask chatgpt, tweak the response, tell it to replace a couple I don't like, add some fluff, edits, and references and be done in 30 min instead of 2 hours trying to parse my thoughts and options.

Also midjourney and DALL-E are very exciting for vastly reducing stock photo needs.

Oh God this poor guy. I for one wish you good luck but if you want to succeed as a niche small business, you better ditch that salesman routine and next time talk about how this started off as a hobby and how you got into it or something relatable. Nobody expects a small business to compete with bigger business- people will only buy local if they like the person who's pitching.

I feel like if I bought him a good 1000d or maybe even 500d cordura backpack it would last significantly longer that the cheap nylon ones I always used in school is all. I'm sure there's options that don't totally break the bank but idk maybe I'm a backpackaholic but $100 is like an entry level backpack for what I usually look for. I'm sure you could find a Korean cordura equivalent product manufactured in china for like $40-50 even. Vietnam idk as much about because I've only worked with ISO9001 backpack companies out of that country.

I've probably made hundreds of accounts that doesn't matter

I really like that it takes skill to prompt the AI to write what you want.

In many circumstances it's probably easier or faster, to just create what your looking for on your own.

I know a lot of people are very concerned about this tech being used by students at schools etc. But what I think most people are missing is that getting an acceptable response out of the AI requires a decent amount of problem solving: Learning is happening, it might not be what the teachers are aiming for, but it's still learning.

It reminds me of coming up with an elaborate way of cheating on a test, which required more work than just studying. Either way the test taker was being challenged mentally, the "cheater" just took a different path to solve the problem of passing the test.

These are my people. Thank you for sharing this. I have to post my backpack storage system.

In both of those cases, I'd recommend something like a 140L expedition-style duffel bag--not built for long-term comfort, doesn't have fancy organization features, but has plenty of room for a very large pile of cash.

What is the best type of bag to carry an FDA in your opinion and could it also be used for an FCC or would that require something more specific?

can you write me an exciting and engaging comment to engage users on my reddit "ask me anything" post regarding "I quit my salary management job in Online Industry to pursue my passion for backpack design and we finally succeeded with our first ever backpack for kids after 3 years of working. AMA!"

--- writes a comment from viewer perspective ---

can you write the comment from the perspective of the creator of the backpack trying to share interesting and engaging information with potential customers on reddit

--- response, kind of boring ---

can you include a sob story of a hardship overcome

--- generic "I faced many challenges and obstacles" response

can you give more details about the hardship, make it a death of a spouse and how it created passion for making my children's lives as easy as possible with a new backpack

--- response above ---

And, like... 20-30 bucks!

It's really amazing how good chatgpt is at this stuff.

What exactly was your prompt to the AI?

I've had mine for about a decade, and although the color has faded, it still works perfectly.

I also like how if you go for a hike and it gets dirty you can just throw it in the wash.

Also it completely flattens when empty so when you are on a train you don't need to take it off and can sink right back into the seat.

Maybe I'm the wrong demographic for the type of backpack this guy is advertising, but even if gifted one, it would never ever get used, and would be hard to give away.

I think the only real thing going is the fashion and customizable bit to show off to friends, but around here, pulling a M2 Max out of the bag kinda fills that role.

Hmmmmm… What about a smaller backpack!!?? For kids!!! For $180!!! We could do an AmA!

I see OP sprang for a gold award for you! Classy move! Nobody will ever suspect!

When you started this AmA, did you think you’d be successful in basically running an advertisement in r/IAmA?

Also, do you plan on selling on Amazon so they steal your design and undercut your pricing?

When making the choice to manufacture internationally, how did you decide upon Vietnam? Wages? Availability? Young work force? Efficiency?

It's like kids are hard on stuff and people have multiple children to pass things on to. Buying 3-4 $30-$40 backpacks in the span of a few years is way less economical. Backpacks also adjust. It's not like they outgrow them at the age range the bags are intended for. Your arguments are unfounded and just uniformed. I guess you just want to be mad for no reason.

Jansport's are great!

I think that’s what people are getting at with the pricing complaints - I would also happily spend a few hundred on a backpack for myself, but not for a kid.
