>>“… wonders why people aren't more annoyed with AI companies “ Outside a small bubble within Silicon Valley and the finance ecosystem funding it, I’d say most folks are increasingly fed up with AI. It’s a very noticeable shift these last 6 months. The mood went from excited, to just annoyed at all the slop and folks using AI as a half-baked easy button vs doing real deep value-add thought. Business is also noticing…

I think it's just hard to know this for the people working on it. AI radically changed my life. I'm doing at least 10 times more, more ambitious, higher quality work. I've been listening to people around me talking about alignment and the singularity for almost a decade. It's strange to imagine that people live in a world where this isn't and hasn't been happening for a while now. "Over-hyped" is not the word I would…

Yikes

This headline sounds like a Bojack Horseman tongue-twister. E.g.:

"BoHo go bye-bye for JoJo Pogo? That's a no-go, bro.”

Or:

"We have a sitch in the kitch. It's a dishwash ish."

Or:

"You know full well once I become Baxter's bride, I'm trading board rooms for bedrooms, watches for swatches and deadlines for bedtimes."

Or:

"I would love to take down Hippopopalous and finally topple the acropolis of monstrous hypocrisy that ensconces us.”

i have had domo pushed on me in a company and i did everything in my power to get us to cancel that subscription and we did. it was such a waste of money.

Gosh, haven't heard of Domo in years. I remember a previous company used it but I never had anything to do with the implementation. Based on some of the other silliness that company bought into, this now makes sense.

We have the infamous "Dropbox" is a weekend project, well now I'd say we are in the era of it. And I bet I could build within 5 working day a Saas replacement of Domo. There is no moat anymore.

>We have the infamous "Dropbox" is a weekend project... Oh really? Then why is syncthing (for example), still so much harder to use than dropbox?

Syncthing doesn't have a well-designed UX. It does what it does, but it's just a bunch of independent shares, and you have to worry about P2P and etc.

I tried it for a while but eventually left it behind because it's just not particularly helpful. You practically have to draw the rest of the owl before it can work well, and at that point you can use any circle.

Not publicly yet, but I work on a programming language, compiler, and runtime that achieves magical (to me) things in a niche field. I would never have attempted something at this scale otherwise, so it's a very 0-to-1 experience subjectively.

That matches my experience. At least on the solo front, there were so many topics I wasn't an expert on, that limited what I could build. Now with AI assistance, the sky is the limit. I don't need to be an expert in frontend, backend, I can just build on my personal expertise in a functional domain, and leverage AI to fill in the gaps. I believe many people will benefit from being to build exactly what they want, without gatekeepers or investment.

> also what – chief design officer and futurist for DOMO??

Utah has a bit of a thing for "received knowledge", as the predominate culture tends to prime egos for prophetic wisdom. Add elitist competition with your local peers to the mix and you won't have to look far to find some...creative titles.

Also the tongue twisters from princess carolyn

"BoHo go bye bye for joey pogo? that's a no go bro"

There was one that went on for like couple of minutes in the later seasons, with courtney portnoy but there's not a video for some reason.
