This is really interesting! Are you guys hiring interns for the summer?


We're open to it! DM/Email us and we can see if it's a fit


Curious what kind of things you had the model look for? Did they have any kind of goal or was it more a "vibe" thing.

Also would it only respond if a message was directed at it or could they proactively decide to join a conversation?


Main thought is just that there are tons of situations that involve more than 2 people being in a discussion. some the of links I mentioned in the post get into this with the "facilitator" model.

Moderation/mediation is probably the most obvious thing "usecase." I'm more interested in just pushing the limits of what the language models can do and see what kind of things they'll do.

There's a corner of the internet interested in these models as a form of "alien intelligence." Don't immediately know what the application would be, but the results are super interesting


Made a similar one that's not super polished - https://github.com/VVoruganti/repo-to-prompt

This look very interesting to me. Just commenting to have visibility for later. Great work you've done so far btw.


A mantra I heard recently that has been helping me with my own 3AM panics was "None of this matters and we're all gonna die". A bit Nihilist maybe, but has been helpful and just kind of removing the weight of the situation


Good thinking. Sometimes I have to remind my nerdy colleagues about what a true emergency is. A true emergency is when your granny is having a heart attack and has to be rushed to the hospital. When a big corporate website, that does millions of dollars of transactions is down at night it is NOT an emergency. They have to hire staff specifically for night shifts if they are so concerned about the money that they may lose.


Nice! That's a pretty well scoped and small enough scale with enough complexity project. My only thing is there is a human in the loop. I think with a competent interviewer they can usually assess the candidate well even if the task isn't that great, but often I see the leetcode style stuff sent as a take home with no human there.

On one hand I get it, there are just so many candidates to have to filter through, but agree don't think it does the best job.


Yeah like the CTF style questions a lot, and would love to see something similar for the more "creative/production" based jobs.

Don't think it would be very appropriate to give someone who's job it is to develop novel/new stuff a challenge like that, but at the same time there are parallels.

Often development jobs have you need to read unfamiliar code that can be poorly documented and then have to either fix or integrate something new into a system. Would love to see something to assess's a candidates ability there.


Was it a live roleplay with other people or a simulated experience via some kind of web app?
