the company (rovio) that built angry birds only succeeded after 51+ failed games.

source: https://entrepreneurshandbook.co/how-a-bunch-of-angry-birds-...


Company, not individual. There is a list on Wikipedia but it shows 34 games, not over 50. It's a shovelware factory. They farmed the work out to employees and contractors. I think they got lucky, they were on the verge of bankruptcy. Not efficient or repeatable.


for the latter, use https://sourcegraph.com


go partner with some big influencer like pomp or logan paul & give them 50% to promote it.

it's such a terrific service that just needs to be promoted to make millions of dollars.

youtube might never fix it bcz more spam bots = more monthly active users.

the only concern with your service is channels get higher rank in algorithm bcz of spam bots so they might never use it but some probably might prefer to keep their channel clean :)


this is awesome. how is it different from paddle.com or getrevin.com? it looks like a merchant of record :)


in future, movie posters, t-shirts, & so much more will be generated by dall•e.

whoever is first-to-market with dall•e will skyrocket their business exponentially.


Either in a very remote future, in which the AI will actually be an artist, and /understand/ and rival e.g. Saul Bass instead of mocking it,

or sooner and be worthless (already the sheer hallucinations, revealing of the undepth, are quite evident) - in an historic context already overflowing of bad quality cheapery.

The worth of making steps is in the preparation of further steps. Clearly we have not arrived.


yes, you can read these blogs for more info: https://openai.com/blog/dall-e/ & https://openai.com/dall-e-2/


plenty of business models. anything that requires designers can be used with dall•e for a monthly cost. designers require $1k-10k a month (assuming you're in us) & dall•e can greatly reduce that cost to $100 a month through scale.

i believe dall•e is even more useful than gpt-3 because as of now, only real business model that worked for gpt-3 was copywriting.

dall•e will have branches under images like tshirts, replacing desingers or providing designers with more inspiration, stock photos, nfts & so much more...


Sorry what I meant with “use case” is of course business model and you catched that.

I’m not convinced that people would pay for that at all.

It could be a helpful tool for a designer but if you’re saying someone would pay to get something done in the press of a button click I think that’s a very short term business that will be outmatched by an open source free alternative almost immediately.

Just look at how fast web designers are getting outcompeted by free frontend frameworks like Bootstrap or icon libs like Font Awesome.

Perhaps I’m just explaining the natural way of business and commodities, and most goods and services follows this pattern.


open ai has banned nft generations so not possible with dall•e but i hope open-source version comes along in ~1-2 years.

t-shirt is a good idea. many companies will incorporate it definitely.


think of dall•e like stepping stones to create the finish product.

this isn't supposed to make designers useless but rather make them more creative.

dall*e can be used as an inspiration to combine multiple images & create their own. it can be used to steal color combination that is aesthetically pleasing on the eyes.

if you think dall•e is useless, you haven't seen the images shared.

the realistic ones are hidden by openai but they can generate a lot of stuff that we won't know until an open-source version comes along.


you can find something interesting. data always tells an interesting story if you look close enough :)
