every model is a mirror. the question is who's looking. building ai usability layer https://t.co/ky3E6zgSmg

every time I buckle up and decide that I got to work on sharing and building my community and audience, i leave it in a few days citing to myself it doesn’t matter and anyway that’s not what i truly want to do.
this has always backfired and so many people around me have loved my content, my storytelling and also interesting things i work upon, especially now with my ai startup journey.
i do want to be regular and share and be part of the community, especially around making ai usable, accessible, affordable and mostly making ai work for humans not the other way round.
i am obsessed with how world is going to change and have some theories too, but without community it feels like an echo chamber.
so this time, no going back. will not use x as a platform to just put out my thoughts, but truly share, learn, build and help around.
excited 🙌 and nervous.

Understanding entropy, Advaita Vedanta and Schrödinger's cat. might help build the next wave of ai usability and ai growth.

Watch out! Chrome has a huge bug with <input type="number"> which causes values to change unexpectedly.
It's fixed in Chrome 150, but that won't land until the end of June.

products to try this weekend
opencode.ai (it seems promising to me - let's see if it gives the accuracy and speed as cursor)
superset.sh (not sure if this fits well into my requirement, running parallel agents is tiresome for sure, especially on your own, will try for sure)
anshuli gupta@anshulix
is anyone building an open source cursor, but for any coding agent/model? a local-first ai coding chat where i can plug in claude, gpt, gemini, qwen, deepseek, local models, my own agents, whatever. surprised this doesn’t properly exist yet.

you have to go in the future and see it for yourself to understand that its not going anywhere. what it will lead us to is a beautiful state, an agent which infers for us.

We're widely accepting of AI coding. We're extremely averse to AI writing. Who'd have thought. People want to connect with other people! Human beings who are great at communication in tech have immense value.

instead of ideas think about the problem, which problem is something you truly want to solve for.
once you know that, you would still get 10 ideas but all to solve for the same problem and thats better place to be in, you could choose the one which aligns well with your current situation and constraints.
it works for me.
siddharth@buildwithsid
i have like 10+ startup ideas currently and honestly the worst part is i can genuinely see potential in all of them 🙏🏻 but i do not have the time or energy to build every cool thing my brain comes up with how do i even focus on one thing?
English
i find this strange at times how humans remember emotions in the long run, never the conversations.
maybe that’s our cue to solve memory for AI.

Thinking of AI as a productivity booster for prior workflows is the wrong framing. Like all of the previous waves of computerization/softwarization, AI is a tool that lets you do new things in new ways.

some of you have forgotten that 100 years ago humans could walk miles, wash clothes by hand, remember routes without maps, write letters, tell stories, and do most things without machines.
and it should worry you that powerful automation companies convinced us we can’t do things we were doing for thousands of years.
or maybe, just maybe, humans don’t evolve by preserving every old capability as a moral achievement.
we evolve by outsourcing what becomes repeatable, so more people can access what was once limited to privilege, time, education, or talent.
also funny to say this on a platform built by layers of technology, reaching humans you would never be able to reach without it.
we don’t belong to the bedtime story we could construct in the night.
we belong to what humans can become when more capabilities become available to more people.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

i think human intelligence signals keep changing.
there was a time when the best speaker in the room looked like the smartest person.
today, the best speakers are often just called emcees.
then tech made logic the new signal. people who could speak in structure, explain clearly, and sound on point started looking like the obvious builders.
but even that signal is changing now.
logic usually works on top of existing systems. it tells you what should work based on what already exists.
but revolutions need people who can question the base layer itself.
spacex needed that kind of unreasonable belief. not lack of logic, but first-principles thinking and deep commitment to solve a problem the world had already accepted as too hard.
i think ai will change the signal again.
the next great founder may not be the most polished speaker, may not have the cleanest pitch, may not even look intelligent by today’s tech ecosystem standards.
but they may see the shift earlier, stay with the problem longer, and use ai to turn messy conviction into product, code, story, and distribution.
maybe the new signal is not sounding logical inside the old world.
maybe from logic to no logic.
it could be seeing the new world before and the conviction to solve.
Kathryn Wu@kathrynwu1
I think one reason YC likes logical engineers is not just because they can code. A lot of them are unusually clear communicators. Coding trains you to think in strict logical sequences: input → output, cause → effect, constraint → solution. You can hear it immediately in good founders. Not necessarily charismatic, but coherent. People underestimate how much startup momentum comes from simply being easy to understand.

the best part founder said just make cool stuff.

hey, the video guy behind this one 👋 1.9M views. $0 spent. a lot of people are calling this the best AI-generated video they've seen in a while (@theo was one of them🐐) and the funniest thing is, i started making videos like this only 2 weeks ago 😭😭 A lot of people have been DMing me asking how i made it, so here you go. quick backstory: i'm just a random 20-year-old engineering student from india, currently interning at Thine AI. about 3 weeks ago, my founder and manager told me: "Nikhil, just make cool stuff. forget about promoting the product." so that's exactly what i did. since then i've been spending way too much time experimenting with different ideas. my exams are also happening this month, but who cares 😭 i tried a bunch of different versions before this, some inspired by the goat @adilmania, some completely random, but none of them really felt right. then this one finally clicked. okay, enough yapping. here's the secret sauce: for brainstorming and scripting, akanksha and i mostly use @ThineAI . coz random ideas hit at weird times, and it helps organize all of them. it also knows my storytelling style a little too well at this point 😭 for video generation, i used kling 3.0 through @invideoOfficial . the workflow is super organized, which makes iterating much faster (@_sankyy crazy product🙌) everything else was just trial and error, late nights, and obsessing over tiny details that very few people even noticed. but that's the whole point. you have to go the extra mile to make your video 1% better. and in this era of copy-pasting, that 1% is the breaking factor period

paul is right about this thing: no startup survives if absolutely nobody finds it useful at day 0.
but history also shows that many generational companies were not valuable because of immediate standalone utility. they became valuable because early users believed the network would eventually matter.
facebook without your friends was not compelling software.
uber without drivers collapsed.
airbnb without hosts lacked trust.
youtube without creators was empty.
the insight is that great network-effect companies often disguise themselves as small utilities in the beginning.
facebook started inside one campus.
amazon started as a bookstore.
airbnb started with air mattresses.
the utility solves the cold start.
the network becomes the moat.
some companies win because they solve an urgent problem immediately.
others win because they slowly create a new human behavior that only becomes obvious once enough people participate.
Paul Graham@paulg
A startup idea that only works if there are already a significant number of people using it is not a valid startup idea. There has to be some subset of users who need what you're making so desperately that they'll use it even if no one else is.
