I could spend $1000/day with Fable and it would be worth it. It has much deeper systems thinking, enabling me to trust it to follow my instructions and not fuck things up. 1. That confidence and quality is worth the price. 2. We're accelerating at lightning speed now. If you don't spend, someone else will and they'll eat your cake. We're nearing the point where you could spin up an entire YC startup in a day. That changes the economics of everything.

I hear this all the time lately. Things like AI X or LLM Y can create a fully working company like "BigCorp XYZ" in N days/hours etc. But is speed of creation really the golden goose here? A few skilled and motivated individuals could also do (and have been doing) that. Sure, maybe they take a few months instead of days or weeks, but AFAIK, having a product is just a tiny bit of the battle, finding customers, product market fit, and actually growing it is where the gold is so I'd argue that you'd be better off building the product with a $100 day LLM and spend the other $900 on marketing. AI won't automatically make everybody business gurus and every LLM generated company a unicorn.

Maybe YC could just give Fable 2 or 3 the funding directly. Sounds like the only thing left will be market control. The only winners being hardware gatekeepers and the investors in them.

  Depends on whether open source can keep up. If not, this is 100% the future.

  I'm at a 3M run rate in 4 months. Because I'm solving real problems. You don't seem like an entrepreneur. Why are you on HN? YC wants people to build AI startups. You're here shitting on them. Half of this community is. You're all a bunch of old men grumpy at the new tools. I'll offer my own analysis: if you're not using AI very effectively, you won't have a career in computing in a few years.

    You don't need to be an entrepreneur to be here. The majority of viewers certainly are not.

    I'm neither an old man, nor am I grumpy at the new tools. I use AI daily, I'm just not deluded into thinking AI is more capable than it is, or myself for that matter.
