Ideas

Time is limited. These are ideas I’ve had, which given infinite time, I would explore.

• JARVIS. Models are capable enough already! We just need some better scaffolding like Cursor and some way to fit in a lot of context. I really liked GPT with scheduled tasks. If you patch 20 of these together, you get a really good assistant. One that would be proactive. I don’t want to ever miss a call again.
• Portable cameraman. Small, flying, self-adjusting camera? I really dislike taking photos but enjoy looking at them later on.
• Surfing footage drone. Before surfing, I set off a drone which follows me and records cool footage of me catching waves.
• Implement needle in a haystack. I swear my experience with using models don’t correspond with the needle in a haystack results they put out. The current “insert random sentence” method doesn’t seem great either. Combining facts from the beginning and the end, simple reasoning steps, and
• Machine translation through steering vectors?
• Give Claude/GPT/… a decent prompt and scaffolding and let it loose on X.
• Taiwanese news is 50% TSMC and gets updates instantly. But it takes a while for this to get to US news outlets. Make a scraper of big Taiwanese outlets and when it’s an article about TSMC, automatically translate it to English and post it somewhere.
