Yup, one of the huge flaws I saw in GPT-5 is it will constantly say things like "I have to stop you here. I can't do what you're requesting. However, I can roleplay or help you with research with that. Would you like to do th

Didn't work for me. Many still emphasize culture over fast hiring. It also doesn't change that they're hiring in an employer's market - they can be picky, and I've been rejected such a company after doing some kind

1. AI is past the inflection point. Startups are best positioned to accelerate on this. I don't mean AI products, but just hiring people who are good at cursor and don't have this mental block. They're able to get to a more o

X is the 4chan of 2025. Porn, politics, racism, "hot takes", but with more celebrities and less anonymity. It's a little worse because people think they can make money dunking on others. Reddit's group think can be a lit

Repeated code. Like SingleFormDialog() and SimpleDialog(). PositiveButton() and PrimaryButton(). Humans do this, but only when different people wrote the classes. Tests that are not connected to anything. You'll have FooTest but it

"just because it's a problem in someone's day to day won't mean they'll pay to fix it." The best way to measure is that they've hacked a solution themselves using inferior tools. This is where the 10x reco

It's only exponential because people extrapolate. This wasn't something the "insiders and VCs" promised - the Singularity was a concept from science fiction. When you cut coding time by 80%, it doesn't mean things g

Oh yeah, I forgot about this. Something about the quality going up linearly as the data doubled - this was even in OpenAI's documentation for fine tuning.

Sorry, I disagree. There's a reason it's 002. They cleaned up all the racist, etc, opinions from 001. I do think GPT-4.1 onwards has a lot of personality. It's able to pretend to go into this mindset and go back out, which wo

ChatGPT was a proper product, but as an engine, GPT-3 (davinci-001) has been my favorite all the way until 4.1 or so. It's absolutely raw and they didn't even guardrail it. 3.5 was like Jenny from customer service. davinci-001 was

I don't have a source for this (there's probably no sources from anything back then) but anecdotally, someone at an AI/ML talk said they just added more data and quality went up. Doubling the data doubled the quality. With ot

The way people tend to invest is compare it to a different number. I remember one point where FB was valued around $100 per user or so. The IPO flopped when people thought it was too high, but it turned out far too low. Netflix, Amazon, etc

Everyone says this but personally it's been fine for me in 2025. It won't land you a job or funding because people are afraid of it. But if you're going to just build tools, it works.

Of course Bolt is the customer spotlight. These vibe coding tools chuck the entire codebase and charge for tokens used. By 10k lines of code or so, these apps were not able to fit.

We can't really speculate what the US would be like as a constitutional monarchy, as it's just very culturally anti-monarchic. The Second Amendment and free speech, for example. In a monarchy, laws often restrict people from insul

Devs are a fairly easy audience to monetize - tools like Cursor hit high revenues in record times. Look at some of the big non-AI acquisitions too - many go for multibillions compared to consumer apps. Datadog charges a lot of money but nob
