Finally got myself all set up with those fancy shop links at the top of my Twitter profile.

Found this YouTube video: AI Apps Making $20,000+ per month with 1 person teams and spent the whole morning answering all kinds of comments, basically confirming once again the need for Six-Figure AI App. Going to use all my responses for a FAQ on the eventual landing page. π
Seventeen years ago I started blogging about story structure and a particular theory of story I found really fascinating: Dramatica. I still remember my first post in 2006. It was an analysis of Spielbergβs βWar of the Worldsβ that I felt compelled to post after being invited to see it in his personal screening room at Amblin.
I thought the movie was awful, and hoped that if I could just explain the theory to one person I could somehow change the future of storytelling.
Fast forward to 2023 and now I work daily on an AI-integrated app that helps thousands of storytellers across the world with better stories.
And now I want to stay writing about building profitable AI applications.
Here we go.
Starting to see more and more of this (Building SaaS in a Weekend), which only confirms my motivation to keep working on Six-Figure AI App. Either I’m seeing more of it because I’m thinking of it, or this is the trend for 2024 - either way, going to be a fun year. π
Funny to see ‘text-davinci-003’ getting sunsetted by Jan. 4th. I remember when that was an upgrade!
Building something wish I had six years ago when I started building Subtxt: Six-Figure AI App. Everything you could possibly know about creating your own application, even if you know zero about modern coding. Designed to save you from the frustration of looking everywhere for answers.
Pretty sure I really enjoyed Oppenheimer.
Laravel Pulse is aptly named - Subtxt feels alive!
Wrote a little bit about iA’s new release of iA Writer 7. Basically, just wanted to test out what it’s like seeing your work elevated above the AI text within the doc. Gotta say, it’s a great feeling and welcomed experience to write again.
Absolutely love IA writer’s approach to integrating AI…all I can think about it how to clone this into Subtxt. π But seriously, love that my favorite app to do writing in, has taken the whole AI thing seriously and keeps the integrity of the author intact. β€οΈ
Only bummer with this announcement from OpenAI is the lack of clarity on Ilya’s role going forward. Always felt like he was the heart of it all, but then again, i’m just on the outside.
Forgot to upgrade to the Whisper v3! Be interesting to see if there is any noticeable difference. Looking forward to when it will be part of the API.

It’s not going to be enough to simply upload transcripts and hope for the best. You’re gonna need someone in there to curate them and transcribe them, and make sure they stay aligned with all the information gathered over the decades. π
Discovered AJR last week, and found two songs that were GREAT introductions to really deep narrative concepts: inequity and justification. These two basically power all of Subtxt π AJR, Inequity, and Justification
Maven Monday is today, which means you can 25% off a bunch of courses there (mine is one of the chosen ones π). Find out what 120 other students have so far (i.e., that story is so much more than you think it is!) Write Great Stories with AI π
After watching Karpathy’s new intro video to LLMs it’s apparent why prompt engineering isn’t a thing: you’re just training intuition in a System 1 mind (what we’d call Preconscious in story). The next step, likely all this Q* stuff, will be an API for a System 2 mind (Conscious) where–regardless of prompt–the LLM will do off and think through the question/problem step by step and then work out the best answer using test time compute. π€
24 hours from concept to live site, complete with presale payment-link! Introducing Six-Figure AI App.
Had some fun last night talking to Muse about the implications of re-arranging the order of the Ghosts in A Christmas Carol. Given Subtxt’s narrative framework, Dickens got it wrong…π¬ Fixing “A Christmas Carol” with Subtxt AI
βThis is nonsensical,β he wrote in the order. βThere is no way to understand the LLaMA models themselves as a recasting or adaptation of any of the plaintiffsβ books.β
Obviously the judge took 30 minutes out of his day to watch Karpathy. π
Watching Karpathyβs intro to LLMs. Great for those all new to this stuff, just learning how to use it for their work.
Finally. This long nightmare of stress is over. Everyone back at OpenAI, with just one major change: everyone is 2000x more fired up than a week ago.π
Hah! After outlining a story with some new algorithms, I asked a Persona based on me to actually write the story (using the extended context available to GPT-4 Turbo). It didn’t get very far. As you can see, it was a little too aligned with my laziness! π
Cannot fully describe in words how much I absolutely love this song.
First time doing the “I do, We do, They do” approach for teaching - SO MUCH more fun and the two hours went by in a flash! Convinced this is the way forward for 2024!
