I thought we lived in the age of infinite AI software and you could just ask for a Dark Sky clone.

Weather APIs are pretty open. What's stopping you?

Carrot does this, but Dark Sky was more than just a repeat of weather data from other sources. They built their own geographic models with feedback to create their hyperlocal forecasts. Apple has that technology but their implementation hasn’t seemed to be as good (possibly because their feedback loop is slow).

Stop trying to hold VCs to account as they try to buy all the ram in the world with infinite pretend money and their infinite pretend profits to put in their infinite pretend GPUs and their infinite pretend capacity, supported by the infinite pretend infrastructure that will never exist that we will also be forced to pay for.

Why did you think AI has the capability of creating an app with a ton of care and unique touch put into it as opposed to some hello world/proof of concept skeleton app?

  • Because hundreds of big Twitter accounts tweet all day that I'm NGMI if I don't think AI is bigger for humanity than agriculture. Duh.
