#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
"In addition, my plan guarantees every child a free kitten or puppy, along with the aforementioned immortality."
Sure, but a human could write that too. Surely the onus is on the investor to assess how realistic they think the founders' claims are.
is this some new hacker news poes law usually i can tell but this one is too spicy for me

#54I would be interested to know how this was done.
Unless they have access to Code Interpreter then gpt4 won’t generate graphs and images.
Did they have it generate Python that made the graphs in matplotlib or something ? What did the prompts look like?

#55In my experience having pitched to VC's it's not that there is a perfect deck but many really bad ones. I.e. there is diminishing returns on a "perfect" pitch deck. You just want to be in the category of not sucking and the decks level of perfection is no longer important. Today I would even go as long as to say the pitch deck is much less important than a demo. You can in theory pitch in an email, the rest is just t…
The secret to raising money is getting the first offer. Everything falls into place after that, because investors are herd animals. Your pitch could go in one ear and out the other, but they'll suddenly start paying attention if you end it with "we've got an offer for $X at $Y cap, it's not from our ideal investor, and we'd prefer you lead the round, but we told them we'd get back to them by Wednesday and we just wan…

#56I think this is actually a good thing. It seems there are a lot of people who have no talent but being able to hype up ideas. Often they have overshadowed the actual people who come up with and implement ideas. GPT-4 and LLMs in general democratizing generating BS may actually shift the advantage more to the actual doers. For example, There are probably on HN brilliant developers who have written at the core of reall…

I get the sentiment, but PR is a critical skill in the free market. Also it's not easy to tell the difference b/w legit good ideas and empty decent PRs.

#59Gah. You’d think people would’ve learnt to not fall for such things by now

#60Dunking on VC is a useless takeaway.
Ignoring snark, VC's and founders giving pitch decks are above-average educated intellectual demographics. This shows how much more convincing current LLM are than the majority of the population. Social media can have regular peoples' voices drowned out by a flood of more persuasive bots. Instead of actually talking issues out amongst each other, even on HN, it could be a deluge of output from "Give me the most convincing argument why they stole the election from Trump."
Now imagine what will happen with state of the art LLM in a few years...
