Ask HN: Lower graphics and lower compute power AI or Simulation render

Hacker News - Thu, 11/21/2024 - 8:02pm

This is meant as a fully hypothetical and inspirational question for all of HN.

If I/you decided that whatever is on your mind about robotics, space travel, sci-fi in general is better rendered (either visually or hardware -wise) in a low enough abstraction (such as the graphics in Alien, Blade Runner, Westworld, whatever you like most). Would it be faster or more optimized than todays standard? Eg: Imagine ChatGPT in Hal’s voice and not whatever human-simil they’ve given it)

Tell HN: Using Anthropic is risky. They just banned our company without warning

Hacker News - Thu, 11/21/2024 - 7:52pm

This is as old as time now. We get banned by these massive operations and we have no recourse but to cry for help on HN.

Anthropic just banned my company without warning[1] leaving thousands of users high and dry. The only way to contact them is by filling out a Google Form. Has anybody had any experience with this situation? I'd appreciate any help.

Show HN: We gave top sales reps an AI army. Pipeline grew 2x in 90 days

Hacker News - Thu, 11/21/2024 - 7:51pm

Look, I'll skip the usual founder BS.

Here's what actually happened: We gave 35 enterprise sales teams (including Ramp's AEs) an army of AI agents. Not the cute chatbot kind – the kind that does the heavy lifting of pipeline execution while your top performers focus on closing. The results:

- 30% book growth in beta

- 225+ hours/week saved per Enterprise AE team

- Pipeline execution activities doubled

Why this matters: Enterprise leaders are doubling revenue targets for 2025. But they're not doubling headcount (shocker). Here's the thing most people miss – 90% of revenue comes from your top 15% sales reps.

So we stopped trying to "fix" low performers and instead built something to turn your closers into supersoldiers.

How it works:

- Swarm of AI agents that act as your personal army of analysts

- They plan, research, engage, and track your accounts

- No more "single chatbot tries to do everything" nonsense

- Integrates with your internal data (yes, including that legacy system you hate)

Here's the controversial part: Most AI companies are trying to replace grunt work. That's cute. We're amplifying your best people instead. Because let's be honest – your top performer doesn't need help writing emails. They need help being in 10 places at once.

We launched publicly. No gatekeeper. No "get on a call with our SDR who just graduated last month."

Just go to rox.com and try it.
