AI is really smart, but it literally cannot extrapolate (a neural network is just a really good multi-dimension interpolator). This is why the first human to hear rock and roll loved it, but an AI trained on only music before then could have never predicted that rock and roll would be good.

@nicky_sap Hopefully free range developers will be allowed +10 minutes of outdoor time

We're farmers now. Except you can't sell artisan software and organic APIs at the local farmer's market. x.com/nicky_sap/stat…

@atmoio Im not sure, I think its a flavor of candy that gets gross really fast when you eat too much

Mo@atmoio·6h

With LLMs we’ve basically invented digital candy. LLM written content is designed to maximize engagement in a way human text will never be able to match. It’s why AI-written posts constantly go viral on here. AI will win not because it’s better but because it’s more delicious.

@big_duca Sending an email to a recipient who hasn't pre-approved you as a sender should cost money, paid to the recipient if they choose to open.

I am so fed up with the outbound email marketers. You are scum of the earth. I am trying to communicate with our customers… And you flood my inbox trying to sell me absolute rotting garbage. What are people using to fix this? It’s getting past the spam filters.

@big_duca I originally thought this, grew our current product to +1M arr with a hard paywall, but Im staring to think there is a middle ground. Paid-only filters out skeptics and most smart people are skeptics.

Duca@big_duca·1d

Only idiots offer free versions of their products. Awaken has a free version. Problem is the people attracted to that are often horrible. Our rudest users are always the ones who pay us the least. It’s amazing how consistent it is.

@CodeWizard I think that's a smart approach!

@ZekeDesantis I build initially for me. I'm generally the first customer. At least this way, I'll always have a use for it

As a founder, what’s the best way to get your first paying user? 1. Building in public 2. Cold DMs 3. Paid Ads I'm asking because patience isn't exactly my strong suit 😆

Interviewer: Why does YouTube never lag, even though hours of video are uploaded and watched every second ??

Let’s finally agree on this. If I vibe coded a project, can I still tell people that I built it?

@proedge_coach @kylegawley I think the 'distribution matters more' meta is cringe, just cope for vibe coded apps sucking

@kylegawley Fast builds are exciting, but speed without direction can create noise. Many ideas get shipped, few get used. Distribution and problem clarity still matter more.

This is insane I thought of a new SaaS idea in the ice bath this morning My Neuralink uploaded it straight to my Claude agent and it started building By the time I'd finished pooping Claude had built, deployed and posted about it on LinkedIn. $0 MRR but so cool

@sagharborcap Somehow people need to get paid to add useful training data to AI, or they will stop doing it.

The saddest thing about all the AI stuff is that it’s rendered the Khan Academy guy’s life’s work totally obsolete

@bgurley Has anyone make an email where you have to attach a dollar amount to send and the recipient gets the money? A way to free market the importance of random outreach emails.

I fear that AI has decimated the traditional email inbox as we know it. Too many personalized emails slip through spam filter. Hope someone builds a better mousetrap. This one is cooked in its current form.
