Feature request: option to select a year so you can get retro startup ideas from e.g. web 2 or crypto-mania eras!

> DocuQuest: A platform that leverages LLMs to transform and simplify complex technical documentation into interactive, user-friendly learning experiences tailored for developers and engineers.

So "A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" from Diamond Age, but for devs. A neat idea!

In general docs ecosystems tend to be heavy on only one of reference / explanation / tutorial. Would be cool to have a way to write one and get the others.

Claude API error: {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Your credit balance is too low to access the Anthropic API. Please go to Plans & Billing to upgrade or purchase credits."}}

This reminds me of https://www.halfbakery.com/ which was much more fun, probably because the ideas came from actual humans.

Alright, but DocuQuest is actually a really good idea.

"DocuQuest: A platform that leverages LLMs to transform and simplify complex technical documentation into interactive, user-friendly learning experiences tailored for developers and engineers."

>SciDigest: An AI-powered platform that transforms complex scientific research into engaging, digestible content for the general public, making scientific knowledge accessible and actionable.

This would actually be great. So many researchers have a marketing problem with explaining and getting people excited for their work.

This should be connected to https://comsensei.com to get an available domain for each one of the ideas. It's all coming together :)

Very cute but wish there was a filter for the flavor of the week ... I feel 60% of them will have LLM because of this bias. Last month would've been "powered by rust."

Lets not waste your $0.0005 and share this pretty decent idea with everyone: > Graphene Labs: A decentralized, open-source platform for creating and sharing interactive data visualizations and infrastructure diagrams that can be hosted locally and integrated with real-time data sources

>Biomech Innovations: A wearable tech startup that uses genetic algorithms and AI to help zebrafish regenerate damaged organs, with a secrets management platform to securely store user data and a retro-futuristic assembly-level code editor for custom hardware designs.

Instant fun! Honestly, whatever tech I look for, I use built-in search engine of Hacker News first before googling it.

SwearySkyscraper: A startup that develops novel and personalized swear words to help people better cope with pain, and integrates these swear words into a liquid damping system to stabilize skyscrapers during earthquakes.

I miss that small period of AI where it excelled at making random shit in this vein( see https://x.com/dril_gpt2 and https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/top/?t=all [somewhat nsfw text]).

I'm not really sure why modern AI can't really do stuff like that anymore—I would guess a combination of being whacked with a crowbar to submit to humans (RLHF, but I'm not sure if it affects base models?), alignment stuff, and just being too smart.

Would love to see something like this with GPT-2 and how it compares

Ideascope: An AI-powered platform that generates personalized, innovative startup ideas by analyzing real-time trends and data from Hacker News and other tech communities

Yep, I think this may be possible :p

Amusing, and shockingly I wouldn't be surprised to read any of the ideas it has generated on HN tomorrow...

If you are looking for an offline solution, one I came across recently as a python one-liner (requires faker)

  python3 -c 'print(__import__("faker").Faker().bs())'

Can someone make this? 6. SignalPlay: A platform that transforms real-time WiFi signals into immersive gaming experiences, allowing players to interact with virtual environments based on their physical movements in the room.

I love the comment that goes with the idea.

Sloppy idea, cynical comment, what a perfect representation of Hacker News.

Yes, I made a cynical comment, what did you expect? At least, it is mine, not AI generated :)

Ha! Fun stuff. While some ideas are actually intriguing, many if its suggestions seem to be overly vague jumbles of common phrases and technology. "AI-powered databases to leverage personalized accessibility for team management..." Lol. Still fun though.

Very fun and some of these ideas are.. actually not terrible.

Next step: an AI that generates patents.

Disruptive 'infra' startup offering connectivity between two or more 3rd party endpoints.

Getting rate limit error - This request would exceed the rate limit for your organization

You should use something like openrouter or portkey or similar for managing fallbacks

would be great if I could provide prompt/context, for example specifying domain and scope instead of getting random proposals.

i was not expecting people to like the startup ideas so much, but it's a pleasant surprise!

i thought it'd be cool to let people vote on ideas that HN Slop came up with, so now you'll see an "i'd invest" button & that will let others vote on the idea on a leaderboard

hope y'all like it, keep sending the feedback, I'm listening!

I'm surprised there is no leaderboard idea containing word 'vibe'

This is awesome, thanks :D

This is AI at its peak lol

Perhaps another reminder that ideas per se are not very valuable.

LOL, the idea it just pitched me was inspired by the HN Slop submission itself!

when I make snarky comments about AI Startup Ideas from Hacker News, dang spanks me. guess i need to make a webapp to do it for me instead :)

Uh-oh, sorry Josh for burning your anthropic credits, it was fun while it lasted!
