As Sam Altman just announced ChatGPT can now write erotica, we are ready to announce our AI-powered erotica platform.

Most of us here use tools like ChatGPT for everything from coding to drafting emails. But this creates a problem of "context collapse." Your work queries, personal questions, and more sensitive creative explorations all end up in the same, permanent history. OpenAI (and Grok!) are able to learn about your work and your sexual desires based on your usage on their platforms.

We believe you need a separate, dedicated space for this kind of creativity—a private journal, not a public square.

That’s why we built Sylvaine AI.

Sylvaine is an AI-powered platform designed for writing fiction, with privacy as its foundation, not an afterthought.

The goal is to give creators a sanctuary where they can explore their imagination without looking over their shoulder.

I’m here all day to answer any questions you have about our tech stack, our privacy policy, or the challenges of building a privacy-first AI product.


for companies who hired him and let him go, you should be reviewing your interview system. it looks like we are going back to old argument "coders who are good at interviews (most likely leetcode), but terrible at delivering actual work."


meanwhile, I'm saving the company 7-digit/year from Google.


In other words, companies can replace consultants with GPT-4.


They might as well. All they do is repeat what a decent manager has been telling them, verbatim usually, get paid a shit tonne of cash, and then walk.

Absolutely zero add value in experience. The only add-value is the consultant overcoming the hearing deficiency of the Director involved.

ConsulatancyGPT: Feed all internal opinions of a company into an LLM. Ask for the a recommendation. Done.

For me, my ears response faster than my eyes in some cases. I think someone else pointed out that when there's a bicycle ringing their bells on your side, your ears will catch it first then you use your vision to confirm it.


Hey guys, I noticed that there's a post on HN regarding Pixel's upcoming dashcam function. I find it odd that while we can post things about big tech's new products, we can't post our own work.

So here is mine, I too made my own dashcam app called DashMap. But unlike Google's implementation, DashMap integrates dashcam with turn-by-turn navigation so that you don't have to switch between apps, it automatically starts recording as soon as you start navigation, or if you're just on a short trip, you can just choose to record without navigation.

You can use the promo code HACKERNEWS within the app to use the app for free for a month.

The app may look barebone, but we have a lot of excited new features coming up. Stay tuned :)

not sure if you're using iOS, but I already made one for iPhone.

No need to wait for another two years, I already made an exact app you're talking about. it's not only a dash cam, but it's integrated with turn by turn navigation as well.

maybe I can claim it to be revolutionary :)

Cool app.. but why subscription? this should be a one time payment.


Why not a subscription given with each iOS version comes new APIs and deprecations requiring time and effort to fix?


Hmmm.. Id say thats a cost of doing business on the app store? App stores should be doing a better job of making sure everything doesn’t require rework ever so often, but I don’t see why end customers have to pick up that tab. On a continued basis like in a subscription.


It is unfortunately because of API cost from Mapbox. In Google's use case, they can obviously do it for free (for being Google and not integrated with navigation within the app). The 1 week tier is aimed for rental car users, for normal users, I'd recommend 1 month.


Subscriptions for apps are like paying the service fee to a skilled mechanic for your car's maintenance and upgrades. The developer acts as the mechanic, using the subscription revenue to continually improve the app's performance, security, and features. Just as the mechanic ensures your car runs smoothly and can add better features (tinted windows, reverse camera etc), the developer can deliver regular updates, replace outdated components, and introduce innovative features. Subscriptions support ongoing app maintenance and enhancement, providing users with a reliable and up-to-date experience, similar to how a mechanic's services keep your car in optimal condition.


That's a lot of fluff for meaning to say that subscriptions earn more than one-time purchase fees.


How often do you pay your mechanic


Once per maintenance change, not once per car you buy


By that logic you should pay the app only when the version changes, not every month


Great idea but there isn’t an easy way to manage that


the biggest cost for me is the navigation, mapbox charges quite a lot...on a per trip basis, but you guys can use the promo code HACKERNEWS for 1 month free trial


Thats a good point.. I hadn’t considered the continued use of paid navigation apis for this app


I love apps like this. There’s a world full of high quality software out there that is just waiting to be discovered.

Thanks for sharing.
