"AI for Friendship: Building Community and Creativity"

Jan 8, 2024 - 2:41pmSummary: AI for Friendship is gaining interest, fueling a creative desire to establish an environment akin to an art studio filled with engaging items. Dave proposed a concept, "14 days of 13 bad posts," to clear out unproductive thoughts, highlighting the importance of community building as seen in Seth Godin's work and the importance of presentation. The tool in question has the potential to be profitable, with the expectation that successful users will share their strategies, thereby encouraging more effective use by others. An idea for a social game revolves around the concept of mutual discovery between participants, with the flexibility for users to engage with the system simply or contribute to its development.

Transcript: Reviewing some of the notes from my conversation with Kristen and Dave earlier, it sounds like AI for Friendship is resonating and that there's a creative scene wanting to emerge, which is super cool. And building something like an art studio with toys in it, all of this kind of thing, makes tons of sense. A lot of the relational stuff that we've been working on. One of the things that I really liked that Dave said, it was like 14 days of 13 bad posts. Just an idea he had and kind of want to try it because it sounds like a good way to flush some crappy thinking out in some way. But also, it's just interesting as a concept. And yeah, I guess that Dave also, I believe, pointing out some of the Seth Godin work with him building communities and how people want to be part of it and that kind of thing, as well as just like packaging is important. I'm learning that I want to lean into nerds. One of the things that I said that I think is important is that if this tool is successful, someone will make really good money off of it and that person will share how they did it and that will get other people using it effectively. And the final kind of thing that I'm really, really curious about is making a social game where success is really simple. This is something that Dave suggested and the thing that immediately came to mind was we are coming together because we want to discover something about someone else and ourselves. And that's kind of the container and maybe being able to share it at the end of whatever period of time it is. And I guess going along with that is playing with this system, trying to break it. You can show up and just use it and that's about all it takes. Or you could try to build something on top of it or contribute to the core code base or whatever it is.

I'm making good progress on the AI grant application, with both the longer description and one-sentence summary feeling satisfactorily crafted. Despite some reservations, the video I've made is likely sufficient, and with most steps completed, I'm now moving onto the demo, aiming to showcase everything in a concise three-minute presentation. This will highlight one personal frame through which to view data, particularly emphasizing social connections and convenience in planning. My ultimate goal is to demonstrate the simplicity of asking a question to retrieve information and to focus on the two key APIs, store and query, to power the application. Focus around these two queries, as with them, essentially any application can be constructed.

I had a beneficial conversation with John, who helped me work through my thoughts and appreciated his support in allowing me to talk things out. We discussed building a simple intention website that John sketched, considering the addition of GPS functionality due to its importance for intention-based actions, and the possibility of an AI assisting with small tasks based on one's intentions. Despite my aversion to login pages, John made me realize it's acceptable to ask for passwords on a website, and that a solution to eliminate logins can be addressed later. This talk has energized me for the week, and I'm excited about working on this intention website project, hopeful about committing to it longer term, and grateful for the sense of direction it provides.
