when 550 of 700 employees back Sam its hard to argue with

550 Employees who want to get rich on a IPO, versus Scientist who worked for 20 years on AI and wanted a non profit...Who upsets most the Silicon Valley intelligentsia ?

Hard to say, actually. There is very little inside information. My first thought was exactly the same, but I'd probably also be upset if instead of guaranteed millions in stock options I was suddenly offered a choice between becoming a Microsoft drone vs scrambling for live in a doomed organisation. All this really depends what sort of communication happens within the company - something most of us here simply are not privy to.

But employees are motivated by money and the perspective of more. That kinda casts doubt on the whole angle really. At least in my book.

read back what you have written here in a couple of days with a clear head, you are talking total nonsense man

has anyone run Doom on it yet?

ironically the author uses one of the most popular squarespace templates in the muted pink which is called out in the article

Start for Free.... then what? give you all my data and then you hold it hostage for a fee which is undisclosed up front.

thanks for your comment Werds, but why so negative? :)) I mention in almost every second comment answer that we also offer possibility that clients store their data on AWS S3 Cloud storage or if you're an enterprise client, we can even put our app on your servers locally. Would that solve your doubts? Have you had any bad experience with data privacy?

You're still sending the data to OpenAI in the prompts. That's sending arbitrary text from my corporate slack to a 3rd party. Where you host my data before you send it to wherever isn't relevant.

Also, "We host with AWS" isn't really a response to "Will my data be secure?"

hey, to clarify we are not learning from your Slack history or slack channels at all.

IngestAI is about learning from your knowledge base (markdown, docs, notion, confluence) and using that to answer queries for users within slack channel. Our primary usecase has been to simply learn from public documentation of companies and help answer the queries of community.

prompt: "what do my employees really think about me?"

that would be a good one :)) That's why we don't add chat memory for the moment :)))

no marketer optimizes for clicks, they optimize for conversions.

so unless this bot is going to go onto the advertisers site and purchase something, which can then be attributed back to the viewed impression, then this will just be ignored by ad tech like any other bot click

That's exactly why the extension works. Imagine paying for advertisements thousands of dollars just so that people keep autoclicking to cost you a few cents out of spite. The advertiser loses money but doesn't get conversions, Google gets the advertisers money but loses them as a customer in the long term. If everyone did this then the model would become unsustainable and we would be finally forced to find an alternative.

Whether that's the right to solve the issue or not is another matter altogether, but the fundamentals of this extension are sound.

You're missing that ad networks can detect and exclude these spammy clicks. And on many networks advertisers can choose to be charged on a per-conversion basis.

Google claims this because their entire business model relies on people believing it but is it actually true?

I used to work on ads at Google, and knew folks who worked on invalid traffic detection. They seemed to spend most of their time on much more subtle sorts of problems, so given how simple AdNauseum is I'd be surprised if they had trouble filtering it out.

Curious how they can detect this. All the see is a GET request with your ip and ua. Perhaps if they see too many they can flag your ip.

They get quite a bit more than this: look at what's sent with an ad request some time!

It’s still costing them per click though, is it not?

Not necessarily: all ad networks try to filter out spammy clicks before billing, and some advertisers work on a cost-per-action [1] basis.

fb/google for the most part won't give you cpa... they will let you set cpa targets (which often miss horrobly) but still bill you by the click.

I sometimes click ads, go through almost through the entire funnel, but bail at the last minute. It's very funny.

Same, so many "root@localhost" or "admin@atlassian.com" sign-ups purely because I've seen automated marketing systems get setup and understand how easy it is to flag a flow as "Oh yeah they're about to buy something, give the source $" before confirming an action.

So you just have a lot of time on your hands

Nah it just takes a few minutes. Solid entertainment, costs nothing.
