@signulll Consumer ai sociallll

there are likely ~100 ppl alive today that deeply understand all of these together: product instinct, what makes good software, design, technical depth, a real model of ai, the psychology of a single user, the shape of culture, team building, the ability to motivate, & the narrative gift to make any of this actually legible to normal peeps. in consumer, where the tam is pretty much everyone, that combinatorial scarcity is the leverage. ~100 against 8 billion. pure asymmetry.

@signulll Need your thoughts on consumer ai

@sachaservan This isn’t necessarily true, the consumer ai that will win probably won’t connect

It’s interesting to see a lot of the comments mention privacy concerns I think one big unsolved barrier to consumer ai is the privacy problem: why should I trust a 4 person startup with the keys to my kingdom? I already have a hard time trusting OpenAI Enterprise AI works today because orgs can demand on-prem or reduce the blast radius to coding agents (unlike say an agent that reads all of the ceos texts and emails and calendar invites) for consumer AI apps you essentially want to give AI everything - from your email to your photos to your notes app text drafts - and let it figure out who you are as a human and what you want. But no amount of comic sans privacy policies will eliminate the creepy feeling in the average consumer using such a service, especially not in 2026 when we’ve seen what happens once you give up control what happens to your data when skye gets acquired by meta? There is no taking it back then

@Tobielobba No fucking way, report

Am I dreaming?

@FejMoBinSalih @Bloke_Baz Are you actively searching? You understand it’s 2026 and the hiring process is from 1950 but worse right?

@Bloke_Baz It doesn’t matter if you’ll get the job that you want at the end keep looking stop being lazy.

It shouldn’t take 100 job applications to get a job interview.

@ImKingGinger Yeah this was an L take by him

If everyone gets a million dollars. No one has a million dollars. I'm not sure why no one understands this.

@eve_bouff @ycombinator You guys coooookedddd

we started sending invites to @ycombinator Startup School 2026 and i thought it'd be fun to give people a ticket when they get accepted

@Bencera This confuses me. Genuinely. Do you think 40 year old bob who runs a pizza shop in the middle of America is ever adapting to a fucking agent running? No. Some of the best devs can barely get it to work all day. Like we gotta pop this bubble, touch grass!!!!

The next $1 trillion startup will sell AI employees. Not tools. Not copilots. Employees

@TheSharpBros This is why Kalshi is gross

gotta hit the parlay today 😭

@KXekri @ashleyyjoelle Ew people on the internet are so mean. Stay mad getting catfished by one an ABG in the future, loser behavior

@ashleyyjoelle Stay mad chopped talentless wannabe ABG

the work you do is how you’ll be remembered genuinely i hope you all have daughters

@ashleyyjoelle So gross

@ctodotnew GROSS AD, this pissed me off. Slop and a horrible messaging

introducing AI business a team of agents that work for you for free

@signulll Death of the corporate ladder. It’s real

i’ve thought a lot about careers, & the question that kept surfacing in my mind was do i want to spend fifteen years climbing a ladder someone else built until i’m finally a vp of something? or do i want to do some crazy shit & see where life takes me? my personality has always bent toward the latter. & when i stress test it against the long view time & time again, the math still works cuz i ask a very simple question which is that do i want my kids to say “dad spent his life moving from level to level at some company,” or do i want them to say “dad wrote some dumb stuff online, actually created stuff outta nothing, contributed to the culture directly, had a lot of fun, & ended up here”? the second one wins every time here too.

@catboosted Yeah who is the founder bc I feel like I would dislike him

I think Ramp is due for a humbling

@TechCrunch Whoa I didn’t expect this one

Slash, a Ramp competitor founded by teenagers, raises $100M at $1.4B valuation techcrunch.com/2026/04/16/sla…

@bb2_t27819 @dre___843 The worst feature

@dre___843 like Tiktok i don’t need u to summarize a live for me. i was always gonna scroll right past it

Every app doesn’t need an AI assistant bro leave me alone.

@adxtyahq Founding? Cluely? Hello I’m confused

“Guaranteed girlfriend/boyfriend after 1 year” this might be the most unhinged perk ever written in a job description.

@philchacko @unable0_ Ok but Bezos had the idea to scale for day 1, he just went in vertically

@unable0_ Amazon used to just be a bookstore, and they're in Seattle.

how San Francisco does a company need to be to go from Allbirds to AWS

@e_chx4 Manifesting

never felt more sus (start up school)

@sattyyouneed Dude I was thinking of this today! But like what could they do how would they even do that

Still incredible to me that LinkedIn doesn’t add any verification to prove you work or previously worked at a company. You can literally just say you worked anywhere.
