Raindrop cofounder @benhylak goes deeper on his exchange with @bchesky about booking Airbnbs with LLMs: "If Airbnb had an API, I would use it, and I would book Airbnbs through it using Claude Code. I know I would do it." "You see companies almost reducing themselves into an API with absolutely no moat. You look at Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. They're like, 'We have a Claude Code integration now.'" "At the point where people are just using Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. as an MCP, they've sort of lost the game, if no one is touching the UI anymore." "Right now, companies have to do that, increasingly, because they have no other choice. I think there will be a point where the incentives don't make sense anymore."

My entry for the @rive_app Impossible UI challenge ✨ I gave myself an extra challenge: to build a small story around the interface. So I made an alien planetary catalog. For them, Earth is an oxygen-water hazard. And some planets that are deadly for humans might actually be viable for them. Fully built in Rive: data binding, state machines, scripted components, sounds, and much more. You can play with it live here: rive.app/marketplace/27… Thanks for the challenge, Rive. This was really fun 👽 #impossibleuiwithrive
