here's a thought piece on cryptomnesia ( a thought piece concerning originality) - i bet you'll learn something new when you go in there (link down below)

@tushaarmehtaa The control paradox lol

using claude code, codex, and openclaw for your fun little useless side projects feels tasteful, fun, alive using the same stack to be “productive” and automate your "work" feels very wannabe bro coded, boring, and dead

@FarzaTV Or should I say making stuff

@FarzaTV You really be democratising coding

I'm blown away at what ppl are using this for!! I built it as a learning tool. But people seem to really love using it as an AI interface that isn't chat that can work in their program of choice. Examples of usage so far: - A Mom building her first app on Lovable - A dentist debugging his OpenClaw setup - A photographer getting feedback in Lightroom - A person learning to animate SVGs in Framer - Founders keeping track of their todos. - Designers getting feedback in Figma - A student outlining her thesis in G-Docs - Traders analyzing live stock charts And A LOT of people using it to advise them on how to best reply to messages in Slack/Email. Super cool. The people yearn for a non-chat interface haha. Also, it's kinda crazy how as the founder you really don't know what the product is until you put it in the hands of users. The minute it's in the hands of others, it's theirs now! And that's really where you find out what it is.

@nidhisinghattri hey Nidhi, i've been using web-to-markdown to reduce token usage for a while now. thanks a lot! i was also wondering if there's a command for me to batch process html files/ any file format to md? that would be great as well.

Here’s the GitHub repo for easy access github.com/nidhi-singh02/… Would love for you to try it :)

we all know LLMs love markdown i have built a tool that lets you convert any web page to markdown npm i web-to-markdown i ran some benchmarks and the results are shocking at how many tokens you can save🤯

*As* a book reader

i watched Project Hail Mary yesterday and a bookreader, it was a huge disappointment (read on only if you've watched the movie) 1/ the elements of the book that were carried into the movie were only the fun, emotional, attention seeking ones and NOT the science and concepts (which is very ironic to the title) 2/ so much fluff- stratt singing, grace running away from getting injected (all to set an emotional premise to the end) 3/ i think the above points could be traded off had they gone into a little detailing to explain the mission. Grace-Rocky was the plot and Project Hail Mary was just a plot line. with all the edge the movie had for visuals, i was expecting more of an interstellar turn, but all we got was a La La Land in space :/

@abhijitwt Correction: 7 employees win 3 more in the leadership and 1 in customer success

Obsidian is a $350 MILLION company?????? THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION????? for a NOTE TAKING app...... with just THREE employees??????

@kunalvg + I really hope substack does not become one of those mainstream sloppy platforms

Social media is about to split in two. Right now you have Instagram, X, LinkedIn. Platforms built for everyone. What’s coming is the opposite. Tiny platforms. Built around one obsession. Sneakerheads. Indie founders. Anime collectors. Carnivore dieters. Not followers. Not likes. A tight circle of people who live and breathe the same thing you do. And it won’t just be online. The best vertical communities will spill into real life. Meetups, dinners, retreats. Built around the same obsession. Why this is happening now. AI is flooding the internet with content nobody asked for. The noise is only going to get worse. People are already feeling it. More time online. More lonely. The answer isn’t a bigger platform. It’s a much smaller one. The next big social media company won’t look anything like Instagram. It’ll look like a club with a very strict door policy.

@kunalvg That's an insane idea so true

When it comes to plotting out the change of economics during/ after the ai revolution, I don't think that's possible at all for two reasons 1/ We're all heading towards a sense of singularity already and there's simply too many factors and things involved which makes it simply impossible for us to predict what would happen. 2/ I also think it’d be a chicken-egg situation because we’d probably know how it turns out in how humanity/ each individual reacts to every single threat/ development for eg- do the people embrace the shift in economics from knowledge workers to physical labour quickly to accommodate more people in that arena? or does this revolution (after a bubble burst) settle comfortably in our society so that there’s no particular chance in economics? or do we create new class of workers? So yeah, it amazes me to think how many scenarios can pan out but I don't think mapping them out is simply possible at this point.

@_ParikshitTyagi Oh there's no wow factor unless you intentionally read a few articles stay on the app for over a week and make the call. Ironically that's the wow factor

@divyapshere I mean they're okay but the wow factor is missing.

Made an account on Substack today and realised it’s just like Twitter, people are just a bit more polite (or pretending to be). Feels like Quora tbh, except everyone’s answering questions they asked themselves.

I think losing the fixation on originality is one of the real steps to becoming a writer (or a true creative for that matter) [check out the substack article in my pinned message]

@anuatluru having to enjoy life? (in your words xD)

besides clip farming and live streaming

what comes after podcasts?

@varunbhg Not really that's a very long story 😂

@divyapshere Seems like an early morning grind.

A quickie before we get back to the hustle

@aadilpickle @upcycledwords How about Benjamin paramanandham - if he'd like a little bit of Tamil roots

@upcycledwords have no idea but he looks like a benjamin

just me and my writing pet hanging out
