AK$2.50/min per minute(7)Bitcoin/Blockchain 101Amir Khazaieli • Los Angeles, CaCreated 7 years ago in Technology / OtherStruggling to understand what Bitcoin is all about? Maybe you've read some articles or watched some videos but still have questions about what a Blockchain is and how it all works. In 2017 I ran the largest crypto meetup group in the Bay area (400 person) where my team and I regularly introduced early investors, family offices, and commercial capital to ethereum and mining. We believe the more people genuinely understand what's going on, the sooner we'll get to the exciting and compelling businesses that this revolutionary technology will bring. No matter your background, I'm happy to break it all down to help you understand how Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies work, and answer your pressing questions.Amir Khazaieli Los Angeles, Ca(7)

AK$2.50/min per minute(7)Do [XYZ] With AI? I Will Help You Use ChatGPT/APIAmir Khazaieli • Los Angeles, CaCreated 2 years ago in Skills & Management / EntrepreneurshipClever prompts are a powerful way to maximize the usefulness of a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT. By crafting prompts that are tailored to specific use cases, we can help ChatGPT understand the context of the question and provide more accurate and relevant responses. For example, if I am helping a client use ChatGPT to provide customer support for a specific product, I can create prompts that include information about the product, its features, and common issues that customers might encounter. This will enable ChatGPT to provide more helpful and targeted responses, reducing the need for human intervention and improving the overall customer experience. I am also experienced with writing anything from Python scripts to serverless Google Cloud Functions that use the OpenAI API or tools like LangChain to integrate the power of ChatGPT into products, services, or projects. For advanced users, custom integrations make it easier for you to leverage the power of ChatGPT and provide more value to your users. Whether you're looking to improve customer support, streamline workflows, or enhance your product offerings, I can help you make the most of ChatGPT's capabilities. For everyone else, by working with me to craft these custom prompts, you can make the most of ChatGPT's capabilities to achieve your intended objective.Amir Khazaieli Los Angeles, Ca(7)

Source: Clarity Drew Davies May 2, 2017You should pursue patents if:
A) You have the resources available to enforce it, and litigate those who infringe on your patent
B) If you want your company to be more attractive to potential acquirers who do have the resources to enforce it
It looks like you're dealing with software though, which in most recent cases is very hard to patent.
Your strategy of trying to pre-sell to telecoms businesses sounds great, however you need traction to create leverage. Ideas are worth nothing, they are cheap and if all that's preventing someone from "stealing" your idea is you telling them, then that idea is going to be very hard to start a business around.
Instead of valuing "ideas", try to shift your perspective to value "execution" instead. If your idea is truly pivotal, you should be able to gather a small user base and demonstrate value. There will be problems you face while implementing your idea, and your unique solutions to those problems create value.
Once you create and demonstrate that value, you can then sell it, license it, etc. It will be a much simpler conversation.
Happy to discuss further if you like.
One of the most toxic ways early stage companies fail is picking bad co-founders.
Building a business is hard, and if you expect to ever make it anywhere worth mentioning, you're going to need help. Anything past a cute business that makes you a couple hundred bucks a month is going to have more work than you think.
There is simply too much to do alone.
My suggestion: Do your best to find someone you can work with. The best business leaders find ways to bring in diversity of thought. Assemble your team to fill in your gaps. If you think you have none, you're being dishonest with yourself.
Take your time with the search. Picking a bad co-founder will take you nowhere fast, like you've seen. Start with Angellist, ask a lot of questions.
Good luck!
