Put AI in your product name, make billion dollars. Put Karpathy in your blog article, get hired by Anthropic as Principal engineer. Milk money as long as fad last. No one is thinking about customer needs, everyone is trying to wash hands in the wave as it last.
Just like NFTs, just like the blockchain before that, in some ways kind of like the Web 2.0 craze (though we at least built some things then and the tight financing at the time kept a lid on it).
This LLM stuff at least has some real possibilities and value, and is very fun tech to learn about and play with.
I long ago accepted that there’s money to be made, as long as it’s not unethical, then get involved. Can build cool things that do have value, while enjoying the VC/PE money sloshing around
Hey man, if it works it works. There's a reason everyone is creating AI tools. We're all buying them. I'm still waiting for someone to make a world-class cli harness that can replace Claude Code but solves the memory and design problem. Web design is still a nightmare with LLMs.
Cline. Works as a CLI and VSCode plugin.
