it's the 40th or so implementation of an old idea but it's the one that was done when the models got good enough to make it useful by someone who goes on podcasts. [1]
Just like youtube was the 40th or so online video site but it's the one that was done by members of the paypal mafia and when enough people had high speed internet.
and that is literally it.
You can do that right now. Go through the 2023 LLM-related product announcements that didn't stick and vibe code it with 2026 models. Slap a cartoon on it, hype the shit out of it and post hard. I'd use a knockoff of "blobby the blobfish".

- RamblingCTO 8mo agoSo creating skills/MCP servers itself and basically change its own nature is not a new thing? Clawdbot was the first were it worked really well. So I'm not sure you actually used and experienced it? Cynical comment is what it is.
- kristopolous 8mo agoNo it's not a new thing. Agents coding their own mcp servers I saw in the original demo of MCP when it was announced in 2024. The other thing is part of the plan&act mode paradigm that plandex also started in 2024. I'm not a cynic, I just follow the scene very closely. This stuff might be new to you, but it's not new. There's literally nothing that this thing is doing that I haven't been doing for a few years already But the other authors didn't go on the Lex Friedman podcast hyping the shit out of their stuff... That's the difference here. I can do this as well. "This is it! The singularity is here. Use this or get left behind! Everybody rush and use my thing! So good I was afraid to put it out, scared of how awesome it is!" I mean brother please...

- javier123454321 8mo agoI mean, that's a quality of conversation that you can reliably expect in Hacker News.
- infecto 8mo agoNo disagreement. It just feels like increasingly it’s getting more cynical. It’s probably the case with most online communities but it’s a shame to see it so much here now.
- kristopolous 8mo agoIt's not cynical it's explanatory. Someone asked why it's successful and I restricted myself to making factual verifiable claims.
- infecto 8mo agoIt’s not explanatory it’s cynical. If you cannot see it I am sorry brother.
- corndoge 8mo agoYour explanation was helpful and thanks to you and other commenters I think I understand now. Effectively it is just the stack delivered in a shiny package. Another comment said something to the effect of "all of the existing stuff, productized for normies". Makes sense to me. Thanks!
