Just got my moltbot up and running... its helping me with my presentation for tomorrow at Plan B. We're jsut chatting while i watch it put slides together from the speech i recorded as an episode and i tell it what to fix or do different, it helped me break it down into bullet points and put it in order, and I gave it backgrounds created by my designer and we're just going to town 🤣

I'm not even joking this shit is kinda fucking insane.

PSA ! 🚨🚨

ISOLATE EVERYTHING if you are going to use this, seriously not a joke. don't you dare give it direct access to your accounts, jsut forward everything to *its* email and calendar, etc. I'm going to even isolate it on my home network

You're actually correct, lo.l. I conflated 2 diff videos and never watched the one i renoted without realizing. He was literally answering the point I brought up in the video

I tottally didn't watch the video i reposted. I had watched the demo and then renoted this one thinking it was the other apparently. The idea of using this as the way to favorite a driver (the very thing Lyft and Uber wont let you do) is fucking amazing. It's literally the way to *get around* the atomic network problem by letting you make your own.

Yeah my comment is completely off and this is such a great idea! Kudos to actually addressing this very thing 🔥

I literally posted because it WAS cool. I made a note about trying to build up network effects to help make it succeed.

One thing you need to understand more than ANYTHING else if you want this idea to work:

YOU NEED ONE SUSTAINABLE NETWORK.

Do not try to get more driers or adoption everywhere at once. Do ONE city and try to get a threshold where there are enough available drivers and users to actually be sustainable by itself. Then branch out. This will take a very direct and concerted effort though.

I would read The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen if you want a view of the network effects this is up against. It would be amazing to see something like this succeed, but I think the hard part isn’t building the app, imo.

I think looking back will reveal the time we are living through to be a long political and economic depression that began around 2010.

I need to push the fix for the hypercores bloating. There’s a part of the cleanup after delivery that gets hung up sometimes and uses up extra space that it doesn’t need to. I have been meaning to get that fixed but we’ve been working on a refactor. Keep an eye out and update when the new versions drop. Right now this is still super alpha so lots will change.
