@elkelk Yo dawg

we now have YC for getting into YC

@RodrigoLFarinha @sama I also can't selectively reply to certain parts of the generated response like I can on web, that would be great to have on the desktop app

Can you guys work on the macOS app? It needs some love. - Model selector is stuck on the old UI (web is way ahead) - Uploading multiple files to a project breaks sometimes - Model switcher inside projects randomly disappears - Large pastes dump raw text in chat instead of becoming attachments (not following current web behavior) - The + button doesn't match web (e.g., no clean plugin/tool picker) - Random crashes The web version keeps getting better. The desktop app is falling behind.

hey chat, we haven't forgotten about you 👀

Honest read is Boardy is way ahead of Series. Way better UX and the users are less students/gen Z and more veterans, highly experienced professionals.

@boardyai > LinkedIn If you're a founder, investor, or looking for a job and you aren't using boardy yet - you guys are missing out big time. All of my intro's to investors, peer convos, sales etc the last few months have been through Boardy. OP level AI @andrewdsouza

@boardyai 2013 Series A: you could raise with no users and an mvp, then get acquired for $70M with no revenue or users. Source: I was part of 3 startups that all did this 2012-2013. Each sold to GoDaddy, Goldman Sachs, Google for $70M….no users or revenue lmao

Series A used to mean you figured it out. Now it means you have 18 months to actually do it.

@siliconmania i love regurgitating AI startup poetry slop

Shark Tank is dead. no one has 2 hours to watch a fake, cinematic, scripted drama. we just fixed that. introducing... The Buzzer 🔴 1 founder. 1 investor. 5-minutes speed date. every time the set turns red, either one can reject the other and get a new match (yes... founders can reject investors too LOL) if they both survive the 5 minutes, it's a match. and they get a private second date. it's entertaining. it's educational. and it's actually very fun to watch. this is the new Shark Tank. and it's called The Buzzer 🔴 enjoy! 🍿 (and shoutout to CUT for the inspiration, and to @compai for sponsoring this episode 💚)

@Clara_Gold lived there for 10 years and its alot like eating food that has 5 star presentation but tastes like garbage

6 months ago, I moved to San Francisco. It’s the best place in the world to build, and one of the worst places to stay human. My unfiltered take: 1. SF is both overhyped and underrated The overhyped part: there are a lot of people with incredible resumes who are deeply unimpressive in real life. They were at the right company, at the right time, in the right market, and got carried by the wave. They made money, got comfortable, and now spend their time “exploring opportunities” over coffee, wasting your time. The underrated part: the top 1% here is insane. But almost impossible to get. Hiring in SF feels like being a guy on a dating app: everyone you want is out of your league, and everyone in your league wants someone out of theirs. The best people have unmatchable packages, endless options, and are optimizing for maximum impact: labs, frontier companies, or startups raising $100M pre-seed rounds. If you raised $10M from Tier 1 investors, you’re not hot shit here. You’re a B-player. It’s humbling. 2. There are fewer mission-driven people than I expected Especially on the application layer. A lot of people are in “secure the bag before it’s too late” mode. And honestly, it gives me the ick. The real religious builders I’ve met are often in labs, hardware, biotech, deeptech, defense — places where the work is hard enough that you can’t fake obsession. 3. The status game favors builders This is what SF does better than anywhere else. It rewards obsession. It rewards weirdness. It rewards people who make building their entire personality. Europe punishes that. SF gives it status. If you’ve felt like an outsider your whole life because you care too much, work too much, think too radically, or refuse to be chill about things that matter, this city will make you feel less insane. 4. The market liquidity is absurd Even if you don’t build a billion-dollar company, if you manage to build a strong product with a great team, someone smart might still acquire you for $ 100M. Yeah I know, it’s not your dream outcome as a founder, but on the days you feel desperate, it helps to keep going. 5. SF does not care about the meaning crisis that’s coming Anyone paying attention here can feel that something massive is happening with AI. But I’m shocked by how little people talk about the meaning crisis coming next. Everyone wants to talk about AI liberating humanity. Almost no one wants to talk about what happens when work — the thing that gives most people identity, structure, dignity, status, and purpose — starts disappearing. The vacuum will not be peaceful. People are underestimating the chaos that comes from humans suddenly having no idea why they matter. And I really feel like no one cares. 6. Personally, I’ve never been more unhappy I moved to SF and entered the matrix. I’ve always been intense. I’ve always worked crazy hours. But here, I lost the last parts of myself that were not about building. I don’t go to events. Most networking events feel like theater for people pretending to be important. The only events worth going to are small, curated dinners with people who are actually alive. I’ve made 0 real friends. I don’t do well with transactionality. I don’t do well with people constantly performing greatness. I don’t do well with rooms where everyone is optimizing and no one is being honest. So yes, SF is lonely, transactional, delusional, addictive, inspiring, boring, extraordinary, and completely insane. But it is still the only place to be right now if you’re a founder trying to build the next wave of humanity. And for now, that’s enough.

Founders with small accounts can be the most interesting people.

@mynameisyahia lot of snakes in the industry guised as “peer conversations”. I have a few of them following me tbh

Was in SF two weeks ago, spent a lot of time at Hogpatch Met a YC founder building a browser-API startup. Unfortunately a fairly broken product, zero traction He got way too interested when he heard I was bootstrapped with hundreds of customers Today, two separate people told me he's planning to pivot into my product and is already lying to people about the quality of our data I won't name him, but if you're reading this I'm disappointed in you.

@ThomasLawDeep @whatever Margot Robbie vs Brian May of Queen

@whatever The blonde on left: 5 - 6 The creature on right: 4 - 4.5 No fucking way.

Brian Atlas RATES the girls looks on a scale of 0-10?! What do YOU rate them?

@scootykins Davis was the only tolerable part

@atensnut Risking your life for a photo people will scroll past while they’re on the toilet is crazy work

This is a massive rock wedged into a crevice in a mountain on the Kierag massif in Norway. You can climb onto the rock for photo op. I said “YOU” can. I would never do that.
