Hi PH friends! My team and I are working on a browser plugin for public data collection in web pages by chatting with AI using natural language.
Data scraping itself involves certain privacy issues, and of course we will keep collecting only the publicly available data in web pages, but how should we handle this when facing the users' concerns about the privacy of data collection?
Each of us leaves a digital footprint on the internet. The only difference is how much data and information we share publicly about ourselves.
For example, my local friend doesn't use his photo or name on his profiles so that no one will associate him too much with his income or political ideology.
The world has changed rapidly over the past two decades with the internet, new technologies and the accelerated transfer of information.
Anyone not actively working online or in IT may have trouble keeping up with these "tech trends." This is especially true for older generations who did not have the opportunity to grow up with computers as it is today.
I m building a product and realizing that traffic customers.
It s easy to get eyes on a landing page, but turning that into users, signups, or purchases feels like a completely different skillset one I m still learning.
AI is growing faster than ever, and honestly, it feels like we re riding a giant wave of creativity and innovation! From generative art to powerful language models, automation at work, and AI-powered healthcare breakthroughs it s amazing how much is happening. But here s the cool part: different things spark excitement for different people. Maybe it s a tool that made a tough job easier. Maybe it s a crazy new concept that opened your mind to fresh possibilities. Maybe it s just that "OMG" feeling you get when you see AI pull off something wild (like my Auntie, who literally gasped the first time she saw ChatGPT could calculate calories of her plates! ).
I'd love to hear what s making you most excited about AI right now! Big or small moments, drop them below and let's discuss together.
Yesterday, I came across this visualisation of skills required for AI-related positions on Instagram.
To be honest, it feels a bit outdated to me because AI can now handle most tasks quite well: writing texts, generating images, coding, and, to some extent, even creating videos.
Lately, I ve been reflecting on the quiet fear that, as AI tools become better at creating art, writing, and design, creativity itself might lose its meaning.
It feels like a valid concern because:
AI can produce beautiful art and music faster than a human ever could,
Many creative fields are shifting from original creation to "curating" or "editing" AI outputs,
Instant generation often replaces slow, imperfect human exploration,
Younger generations are growing up with AI co-creation as the norm, not the exception.
I wonder: Will true creativity still matter when "good enough" is instantly available?
(Ever feel like your to-do list is working against you? You re not alone. Between deadlines, shifting priorities, and that ever-growing I ll get to it later pile, staying organized can feel like a part-time job.)
What if you could hand that chaos to an AI that doesn t just spit out robotic schedules, but thinks like you ?
A few days ago, I listened to a Czech video cast where the idea was that in a few years, the teaching position will lose its relevance.
This seems like a quite realistic prognosis to me, because:
The teaching position is not particularly valued,
AI knows more information than a teacher,
AI does not sharply confront the user, which encourages people to ask questions and think critically (this can sometimes not be said about the school system)
More and more young people prefer to communicate with Chatgpt than with an "educational authority"
So, I ve been toying with the idea of going "Build in Public" for my startup, but I m torn. On one hand, it seems like an awesome way to grow an audience, get early feedback, and build trust. On the other, I ve seen plenty of people burn out or struggle to balance actually building vs. constantly sharing updates.
I guess my main questions are: What s the best way to approach it without it feeling like a second job? Where do you actually build in public: Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, PH, or somewhere else? Any success (or horror) stories from those who ve done it?
