I'm no dev. I can't even read code. I have NO idea what I'm doing. Last week I found out journalists have to upload sensitive data leaks to use investigative tools, and they have to pay for it, and that sucks. So I built an AI dev team to build a 100% local, 100% free version.

@withkynam Every time? Who said every time? You think you can ship at lightning speed to nobody? I think the fast dude that nobody sees finish loses to the slow dude that has an audience already lined up 999/1000 times.

@ArkhamMirror so u think having the right friends beats being fast every time man

the non-technical founder wave in ai is real but here's the thing. when everyone can build, who actually wins? the person who knows the problem best, or the one who can ship fastest?

@wjfm21 Depends on the level of reality you are engaging with.

serious question, does anyone know if we have a choice?

@jsmasterypro Y'all know that you can incorporate things like research into your prompting methodology to vastly increase output quality over pure prompting and stay domain agnostic otherwise? Just me?

Pure prompting is a dead end. Your output is capped by your vocabulary. Imagine you want to build a highly optimized, custom 3D liquid-metal effect on your website. If you don’t understand shaders, UV mapping, or buffer geometries, how do you even ask for it? And even if you “vibe” your way into a working snippet… what happens when it breaks? Master the fundamentals, then master AI.

@Star_Knight12 anything

if AI takes everything, what will humans do

@ALEngineered Have it write the stink and you make the stink into your brand instead of trying to make it turn your brand into more your brand. Borrow AI's strengths instead of trying to use it where it's weak.

Why is it so hard to train an AI to write like me? It always has this LLM stink to it.

@aryanlabde My signal was having two VCs pulling me in opposite directions. One was (arguably) trying to rip me off but would let me stay on my current project, and the other presented a new direction but (seemingly) has a higher opinion of my value.

How do you know it’s time to pivot?

@lsferguson Great question - what do YOU think should happen if an illegitimately installed President has been discovered from the past? What about a current one?

What will happen when it's proved Biden was installed illegitimately?

@DreamLeaf5 as opposed to the slop we make by hand now?

Are there genuinely people who like the idea of watching two and a half hours of AI slop?

@pmitu or the best

Telling someone to quit their 9-5 and start a business is the worst advice that you can give.

@VOX_of_SU Yeah, that's the model. What you see is a reflection of what works in this ecosystem.

@IanCopeland5 man really living in Cope Land.

Atheism and Theism are both belief systems. The only difference is, Theism has no scientific evidence for the existence of God (by way of experimentation), therefore the position is unscientific. Atheists believe God doesn't exist, but you can't scientifically prove a negative, so while I agree that they don't have the burden of providing evidence (to prove a negative), their position is also a belief. Though it is one that requires empirical evidence. So both are, infact, belief systems. (I'm a Christian btw).

@dev_maims yeah and Zune was better than iPod, what's your point?

LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS

@haider1 I've found that you can find incredibly smart and incredibly stupid people on either side of most any argument.

have you noticed that nearly all AI haters seem to have incredibly low IQ? i've been debating AI doubters lately, and once you counter their nonsensical arguments with evidence, they get angry and start personal attacks job anxiety plays a big part. when something feels threatening, denial is the easiest defense basic education gaps matter too many adults struggle with simple math, so they can't grasp AI and assume it's fake or overhyped. because of this, AI is creating a divide people who learn and adapt will move forward, while others keep denying it. so arguing with those who refuse to learn usually goes nowhere

@Hitchslap1 Having a high IQ and using your brain don't always go together.

Knowing your IQ doesn't make a difference. Having a high IQ does. Think about it.

@GlowSurfing Are you flexing your ignorance? That's certainly a thing you can do.

Is it just me?! Or am I the only one who has no idea why Bad Bunny is so popular - and has the most downloaded songs from what I understand - having never heard a single song of his? 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

@kevinnbass If you ask 100 people a question and 50 answer truthfully and 50 make something up, which group of 50 do think will have more similar answers?

Why is everything that the left says the opposite of the truth?

@highfemmehues They tried to warn us, but we heard wrong. The cake is AI.

@dandinohill Maybe they meant the elections are rigged in their favor, so they don't have to vote?

I am hearing some people on the right say they will not vote because they believe the elections are rigged. A thought for you - if they can get you to NOT VOTE, they don't even have to steal the election, because they have already won. Better to work hard to stop the cheating!

@Matt_Pinner Mosquitos. Fuck those fucking fuckers.

If you could completely eliminate one thing from the world, what would it be?
