Is anyone actually using co-pilot? They claim “millions of users” but I seriously doubt millions of programmers opted into paying $10 per month for it. A lot of these stats seem highly suspect.

As someone who has strong programming intention, but is not always able to easily remember syntax, or visualize a solution, it's been a force multiplier.

It's been pretty invaluable for vector math and reasoning in Unity.

#54Hey folks, this is Evan from AI Grant! We're excited to support founders building new AI products. AI Grant is investing $250k on an uncapped, no-discount, MFN SAFE, as well as providing more than $300k in cloud credits. AI Grant used to do small grants in lots of AI research projects. Now, we think there's plenty of research, and what's needed is products: so we're doing bigger investments in founders building produ…
How does the "uncapped, no-discount, MFN SAFE" work? What does that mean in terms of the percentage of equity you'd take? I'm self-funding fakeyou.com from a previous exit. My AI/ML startup is called "Storyteller" and my team is about to launch real time voice conversion (you -> Trump, Adele, etc.), music generation (instruments + vocals), and real time motion capture (for film and animation, essentially super high q…
To address your question, an "uncapped, no-discount, MFN SAFE" roughly amounts to getting the same terms that will be given to your next investors: https://www.dentonsventurebeyond.com/resource-center/safes/

#55I participated in another Daniel Gross program, Pioneer, and it was _excellent_. I highly recommend it or this for folks that may be more 'outside the band' when it comes to raising money or getting a startup from 0 to 1. I would note that if you're trying to bootstrap this is probably not the program for you. These guys are incredibly connected in venture capital and this program ought to be a great way to leverage…

#58I have something that might be the type of startup (integrating AI into algonfts.art) except it's not a very popular niche and probably wouldn't make back the $250K. Although that reality doesn't seem to stop most people.

#59An example is the recent text-inversion paper where they found a way to extract the embedding of a visual concept from several images. Or how Midjourney is able to somehow integrate their model with StableDiffusion to get the realism and control of SD but the aesthetics of Midjourney.
Basically, it seems like deep learning networks are a lot more composable and controllable than I would have expected, while still demonstrating really interesting features. There could be entirely novel neural net architectures with no analogue in the human brain that still do really interesting and useful things. It’s exciting to see what people are coming up with!

#60I'm working on building a search engine specifically to help with prompt engineering https://pagebrain.ai/promptsearch/ Is this useful enough to be a startup?
Appears super similar to Lexica.art, but less data; for example, appears you’re missing even the limited about of parameters listed by Lexica, which still are incomplete.
