i think have a bit of an understanding of where OP is coming from. lately, the grind doesn't stop, and the quality and cost of life are inverting at an alarming pace. and all this time we're being told being the main character means having billions of dollars, be looksmaxxed, have a million friends, and anything less means you're poor and worthless.
this is an incredibly stressful time to be alive. i think i'm moderately ambitious and so i grind at my early stage startup and enjoy the work most days. but sometimes i also think it'd be nice to just have a bakery in a middle-sized town somewhere without thinking too much about politics. and just living my life with its ups and downs, but without the daily / hourly emergencies that come with being on the internet nowadays.
The time we live in is not too bad. 200 years ago roughly 40-50% of the children died before the age of 18. If you wanted to have 3 kids, you had to make 6.
We recently raised series A and are hiring driven engineers who have strong product sense, leverage AI effectively, communicate well, and want to build technically interesting products that benefit the everyday person.
You'll join as the lead product engineer on greenfield projects that are scoped to take us from 1-100. We're building a verticalized factory for claims. ex:
* agentic legal case origination agent - responsible for validating things like privacy violations, research existing case law to find new cases for us to operationalize
* real-time claims processing - claim quality / fraud detection at scale, harnessing regulatory requirements for novel approaches
and much much more
Chariot Claims is a platform that helps everyday people find, file, and manage legal claims without any hassle. We proactively identify companies accused of breaking the law and violating consumer rights, and fight so they can get the compensation they may be entitled to. We partner with law firms to execute on legal proceedings.
Our team is fully remote, with hubs in Berlin, NY, DC, and (soon) SF. Onsites for the team in the US every ~2 months, and curated offsites in a beautiful location 2-4 times a year with your +1.
if you have good password hygiene is doing a lot of work here. such a large population of the world does not have this, credential stuffing is a huge class of vuln
yes... I think for startups there's a strong desire to demonstrate technical independence - there's a strong smell with looking like a wrapper on Anthropic or OpenAI. With an open model you can weave a story where you are exercising differentiating knowhow by deploying or tuning models yourself.
honestly just seems like selection bias right? 0% success rate with ai projects, really? based on some of their other about us material it seems like they probably only attract companies that aren't motivated to adopt ai successfully.
i just had to spend a bunch of time (not for work, for hobby purposes) bc broadcom acquired bitnami or something and then decided to kill off the free docker images for various software. very very annoying. can't believe they did this by just yanking the images from the registry too, leaving nodes to fail if they lose their image cache and have to restart
does this mean that 40% of consumers say it's good? or what?
if that is what that means, i would actually say keep improving... since ai is new and there's a lot of mixed feelings about it, it's understandable that sentiment leaks into ai-enabled products.
that being said, there are /a lot/ of ai chatbot product integrations that are actual dogwater and we should not do them. like the stupid amazon integration that is forced upon me that took up like 30% of my screen and straight up just was worthless.
i think the best ai consumer facing workflows you dont actually directly interface with ai via what is expected to be a human interface like chat - it should do processing in the backend, or it supports a human agent.
