Interesting to see these experiments. This is early but imagine in few years there will be companies mostly run by agents with a light overview from a human operator. What then happens to scaling of the bussinesses? I would assume, just like today anyone can vibe code an app, there will be vibecoded bussinesses. Maybe its time to start building infrastructure for these bussinesses instead, its a non existent market yet, but give it a few years.

Part of the issue is that the worst kind of people are already head over heels excited about this. We're already seeing the Crypto->Web3->LLM get rich quick folks take to this like wildfire. And much like wildfire, they'll raze the ground to ashes before anyone can use it for legitimate means.

I don't think any of us are ready for the wave of sloppy shit that's going to hit us soon.

    My favorite term for this in general is "irrational exuberance". Plenty of it was seen during the most bubble-like days of the 1997-2000 dotcom boom. Anyone remember beenz and flooz?

      I was at ground zero at Nortel during that time. Quite an interesting (depressing?) place to be at the very start of your career!

    I’m not on normal social media so I had no idea that stuff was out there.

    Absolutely incredible trolling from some of those people I’m sure, while others are actual believers

    It’s a classic get rich quick scheme. Wanna run a business and make money without actually doing anything? Try our AI!

      Out of all the people I know, the exact same set of people are in to LLMs now who were previously into: NFTs, then Crypto before that, then Online Poker before that, then Dropshipping and LeadGen before that. The Venn diagram circles overlap exactly.

What would that look like, I assume youre talking about building infra ontop of the infra debt for datacenters

And we made fun of 90’s cartoon villains… They would blush and retire if they saw what’s being excitedly peddled today as “the future”.

Pray tell, what will these fantastical vibe coded business sell, and why will anyone pay for it?
