"There Is No AI Revolution"
Good write-up.
But it focuses too much on the big companies. Many indiehackers have figured out how to make profit with AI:
1. No free tier. Just provide a good landing page.
2. Ship fast. Ship iteratively. Employ no one besides yourself.
3. Profit.
The old silicon valley idea that you need to raise a bunch of money, hire a bunch of devs, and scale a ton to satisfy investors is dying rapidly for software. You can code and profit millions as just a single person company, especially in the age of cursor.
- sponnath 2y agoIf this were true wouldn't we be seeing a massive devaluation of software? (or alternatively increased demand for complex software)
- cynicalpeace 2y agoIt is true because levelsio, eric smith, maker of interviewcoder, etc exist.
- janoc 2y agoAnd pretty much most of them just resell OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Meta's APIs and model access, with something repackaged on top. And none is remotely profitable.
- cynicalpeace 2y agoGreater than $50k profit per month per employee sounds very profitable to me.
- janoc 2y agoAnd who actually makes that much? Or are you counting also VC money into that "profit"?
- cynicalpeace 2y agolevelsio, eric smith, david park, jacob of rezi, etc
