Yes that's correct.
WIP used to be invite-only with the PRO subscriptions being optional. But that wasn't a sustainable model (not enough people upgraded to PRO), so I had to make a change and switch to a paid-only model.
Existing members were still able to continue to use the "free" plan with some limitations.
I would try with AI. Flux with inpainting should be able to do a decent job.
If you go the Fiverr route, I'd try a few different artists.
FWIW, I don't think the second image you shared looks bad. Can you articulate what you dislike about it and what you want instead? This is key to getting good results on Fiverr.
Business entities are kinda designed to solve this problem.
If you don’t want to go that route yet, I would just draft up a simple agreement that lays out what you want. You operate the business under your name, and your partner sends a monthly invoice for their share of the profit. Their invoice will be an expense for you offsetting your taxes so it all works out evenly in the end. After filing your tax returns you will get the 100% accurate number which you can use for any adjustments that need to be made.
It does require a high level of trust, but I think that’s the cost of saving money on not setting up a proper structure.
Once the business gets going and the model is proven, you can set up a proper entity.
I think most people here are using WIP 😄
I don't have any experience with platforms you mentioned, but I've seen Small Bets mentioned on Twitter before. I believe they more frequent video group calls with various experts, etc. It's something I'd consider doing with WIP through our Hangouts feature ( wip.co/hangouts ) if there's enough interest.
@marc Probably a stupid question, but should thank link in your reply go to a hangouts page? I tried it but it gets a 404 response. I have had a look around the Wip dashboard and I cannot seem to find any links to Hangouts either.
Sounds intriguing. Can you tell us more about the app?
It's a desktop note-taking and Spaced Repetition app where you can highlight some word or sentence, and auto-generate flashcards with audio, examples, translations, definitions, etc.; but almost exclusively with human content (AI only for translations)
The idea is to involve the learner into reading/writing/listening/pronunciation as much possible via language production, and creation+curation of own learning materials - so there are a bunch of features geared towards that.
Why desktop and not a website?
HEIC is a bit of a pain to deal with.
Do you use it with iOS? It should automatically convert to JPEG when you upload them.
Please share your setup (device, operating system, browser and where the images come from). I'll see what I can do
Understood, got it. Although I wonder if this HEIC trend will become more of a thing?
Oppo Find N2 Flip - uploaded via chrome browser (WIP PWA). The images come from the stock camera app. Although, it seems like when editing the photo it says "Convert to compatible format" which meant jpeg.
For now, I shall deactivate the "High efficiency image" option in the stock camera app.
I strongly advise against selling them. It's very likely against their terms of service to either sell (or buy) such credits. It's not something we want to facilitate on WIP either.
September is a long time from now. Maybe you can use it as push to build a OpenAI-powered product and "sell" them that way? (i.e. by wrapping useful functionality around them).
Fair point... it's would just be a shame to lose it all... Also noticed Anthropic have the same one year expiration, I'll have to use this one too.
PS: Let me know if you prefer me to remove this post completely.
I would look at it differently. You never truly owned the credits to begin it. It's always been OpenAI's, but they let you use their service free of charge a bit to give you some leeway to build up your business.
I don't mind leaving the post up. As it's an interesting discussion I think. But if you prefer to have it removed I can do that
Edited the post to orient it less towards "selling".
I understand your point of view, but it's heartbreaking to see $100 you paid just disappear if you haven't used it in a year.
I thought there was some rules in Europe that credits needed to have a minumum of 2 years or something
Oh sorry I didn’t realize you paid for these. I assumed they were free credits.
If you paid, I’d just ask them for a refund or extend the validity.
That was there response, even when asking for a refund or something
Wow okay that's really bad
Yep...
This is like gift cards that expire. Lots of countries have protection against it but openai clearly doesn't care.
Yeah... Learned it the hard way 😅
When OpenAI switched to the credit system a little bit ago they changed it so all credits you purchase expire within a year. Their models are so cheap I essentially just waste around $3 a year because I only ever use $2 ish of usage every year, and the minimum you can buy is $5.
Pretty dumb. It would be like if you bought a gift card and then your giftcard expired after a year.
