You’re right about the tools we’re using. Do you see any difference in the concepts you see at TheFutureIsGood vs. other ‘midjourney galleries’? For example this original concept about using drone light shows to replace fireworks: https://reddit.com/r/TheFutureIsGood/comments/yljmuj/2035_wo...
If you know other places to find plausible and positive futures, links/tips would be good to see.
How regulatory capture works in your target industry. If you don’t understand this, the opportunity you think you see may be a trap leading to a tar pit business.
Fueled mostly by omnipresent ragebait media targeted directly at our lizard brain.
Things are better than ever and yet our attention is mostly spent on what’s wrong and who we can blame for it.
Look at how utterly dystopian the average sci-fi book/show/movie is. As tech and its makers continue to grow in influence, is it any wonder that the world seems to resemble Black Mirror more each day?
A friend and I are addressing this problem. We’ve started by building a community to envision positive futures: https://reddit.com/r/TheFutureIsGood
We invite other optimistic builders to submit ideas for good future that are almost inevitable given all the progress we’ve made! We’re using AI generative art to materialize these visions for now, with traditional art also being considered.
Thanks for the great prompt and opportunity to plug a creative project.
Thank you for the kind words. Hotel tech/travel tech is a crowded and tough space to build in. Rewarding to see things work better for real people though!
Yes, the startup was named Go Moment. Got acquired a year ago by one of the world's largest hotel tech companies (Revinate) where Ivy continues to grow and serve more guests. More info at https://rajsinghla.com/about
A hotel concierge that’s helped 50 million guests during their stay. The goal is to create unforgettable experiences for a billion people!
Ivy sends you a text message introducing herself as a virtual concierge when you check in. She answers FAQs in 1 second using NLP and routes anything more complex to the front desk team for resolution in 2-3 minutes. All in one simple text thread, no apps or UI needed.
Guests often come to the front desk trying to tip Ivy, rave about her in reviews, ask her out on dates, and even drop off hand written thank you notes for her.
One woman texted Ivy in a panic asking about the nearest drug store to buy Benadryl because her son was having a severe allergic reaction. A guest service agent brought Benadryl to her door in 3 minutes at a large Las Vegas property. She called Ivy a life saver.
Given your interests, consider building public good dApps or defi projects that leverage the latest in crypto tech like so-SNARKs and quadratic funding. Powerful emerging tech that doesn’t yet have much economic incentive for companies to adopt seems like it could be fun and potentially broadly useful.
