Chasing AI, Losing Meaning

replied to NJX-njx's post about 5 hours ago

Friends of the community, I have recently had some new ideas. Some time ago, I came across a research analysis from two investors at a16z. In the past year of 2025, ChatGPT actually tried to promote some new AI functions in fields such as shopping, but in fact, the effect was not good. I think the fundamental reason lies in the user's mindset, or rather, the user's interaction logic in vertical fields. The most prominent and distinctive feature of ChatGPT is that all-encompassing dialogue box, which is also a common problem with many homogeneous AI products nowadays (it seems that without a dialogue box, the AI's capabilities are sealed off).Although it can be adapted to many scenario fields, it will appear very boring in more vertical scenarios Ask yourself, would you prefer the image-text waterfall flow interaction in shopping scenarios like Xiaohongshu, or the monotonous search box of ChatGPT? The answer is actually obvious from the start. For all vertical scenarios, the interaction logic was already very well-developed before the emergence of AI. The user experience brought by such interaction logic is definitely not something that a single dialogue box can replace. And if we want to create a good AI product in a vertical field, we should think more about how to silently embed the powerful capabilities of AI into the original interaction, and continuously iterate to provide users with a better experience.@lilianweng@clem@AdinaY

Have extra processing power in downtime? Have old devices you haven't used in years? I recommend primarily Folding@home to do protein folding on your GPUs, but also BOINC, particularly on Android and Apple devices, because of the lower power usage. I've been doing this, and get about 14,000 hours a week in, primarily for mapping cancer markers on BOINC on an Aiyara cluster of Androids. I also hold a sign out by the highway encouraging people to join BOINC. It was Dylan Bucci, a young promoter of BOINC on school's computers, who wished before he died to get as many people on as possible to do this, and in his honor, the Dylan Bucci challenge was implemented. No reason to wait for a challenge. If you care about such things, there is an associated cryptocurrency for such processing, but it's worth it to save lives.

I look forward to AI-related endeavors like this, and only know of NATIX Drive&, Acurast, and HYRA AI, all of which use Androids I'd rather devote to BOINC. However, they also allow one to be paid, and to totally devote old devices to the processing. On the same topic, DexPOINT monetizes your Android's Internet connection.

BOINC runs on Android, Apple, PCs of all sorts, Pi devices, Chrome devices, Fire Sticks, TV boxes, Android watches with the full OS, and all sorts of things that have Android or the ability to run Linux, although it will also run on Windows. Folding@home works best on PCs with modern NVIDIA GPUs, and in a cool room. You can also run BOINC on modern computers, but they must be throttled, because they often get too hot.

When you have good goals, along the lines of what will inevitably be implemented, the initial response is an uproar of "Why?!," followed by lazy attempts, and then, someone actually doing it right. Now, say you're the only driving force behind getting it right, and the rest want some other resource, like money. They will get the money, but not the influence, and the one with the influence, if pure in their goals, doesn't need the money, so ends up poor. I'm a ghostwriter. This is the ghostwriter's dilemma. I get things right often, but I can't touch the things. Shouldn't being right more often than the people that touch this stuff, alone, afford me access? Well, we're working on it.
