#144Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, I'm not asking anyone to bypass sanctions. I'm looking for a partner/co-founder OUTSIDE Iran who would: - Register a US/UK company (legally) - Open their own Stripe account (under their name/company) - I work as a remote contractor/technical co-founder (legal, like any distributed team) This is the same model as any international startup with founders in different countries. I'm not hiding my location - I'm openl…

What you are requesting is very illegal.
ChatGPT does not offer a clear indication that it is blatantly illegal, though the amount of legal risk is high enough that it might as well be.

#145I feel for the person, but there's a part of me that also wonders why they spent 18 months on this without first doing a small bit of preparatory due diligence to see what the endgame was going to be.

#146It's only natural that someone promoting an AI-slop-as-a-service should be suspected to be AI-slop itself. "Meet HAVVA. The new face of luxury brand" 1. The AI couldn't even grammat-check a half-sentence. 2. Who wants to buy from a "luxury brand" that's uncanny valley AI slop? Why are all 3 options, "pay this person $30K+" ? Option 1: Co-Founder Partnership: You invest: $50-80k + handle sales/operations/Stripe access…
the question is what this product is and what it can do!
you should more think of future, maybe at current time is not as good as human but it will get there, and all I'm doing is trying to find the best fit for this.

#147Look to the PRC, unfortunately your country exists in a separate world economy from the American hegemony one. Nobody here can help you and in fact I think GitHub and YC may be required to ban your account once they become aware you're Iranian. It's so flagrantly stupid and imo a violation of human rights to so utterly restrict the citizens of both our countries from freely doing business with each other but that's h…
I don't know what to say really but I always said loudly I'm from Iran, and to be honest everything I do is with tech that is out side of Iran, probably Iran never could get any near to such techs in hundred years the way the current goverment is acting. but I like the tech a lot and I'm Iranian :D
Re: I can build enterprise software but I can't charge for it
#148I am not a lawyer or diplomat or expert on trade, but I can make some general observations from an American/Western perspective: First, the sanctions on Iran are such that any partnership with an Iranian person for business reasons is effectively impossible in the West, without the resources of a multi-million or billion-dollar company to circumvent them. The author says "I am not looking for anyone to bypass sanctio…
When I was interested in the semantic web I found that there was demand for it in the whole EMEA area: not just in the EU which funds it but also on a grassroots level in the Middle East and Africa where there are people using many different languages and better communications means more and better commerce.
I was talking with people in Iraq about a project and found it wasn't necessarily sanctioned but I was supposed to go through channels and I couldn't find anyone at State to respond to my questions.
Re: I can build enterprise software but I can't charge for it
#149100-120 hour working weeks sound implausible and very exaggerated. If you are actually working for that long, you should probably stop.
Zero customers after 18 months is also not a very good look.

This is AI-validated, production-grade code.
You can verify this yourself: open Claude Code, point it at the repository, ask it to audit for production readiness. It will confirm.
"""
I'm sorry, but you should seriously reconsider putting up statements like this. If anything, people will be put off by you claiming that the code is production ready because it's been "AI validated" by Claude (which in reality is often extremely shallow, something like GPT-5 in Codex is way more thorough).
Also, the project cost estimates of $150k-$220k are also way off because Claude cannot make realistic estimations, and because it wrote most of that code anyway.
P.S: We can't 'verify' anything with Claude Code because the repo is closed source.
P.P.S: I asked Claude to analyze this blog post, since you wrote the blog post with Claude, and it said:
> This is a technical demo looking for a business, not a business looking for a partner.
Plus
> The entire narrative structure (war, bombs, wife working, mother asking about jobs, crypto hack) is designed to generate sympathy and urgency. This is a sales technique, not business due diligence.
Re: I can build enterprise software but I can't charge for it
#150Is this the best idea you could've put your time on? Maybe I don't see the vision, but I have no idea who would by this or for what. AI/slop is cheap and luxury brands will only lean further away from it.
okay imagine a holographic avatar like in sci-fi movies, do you have the same feelings about that too?
