I hope you didn't type all of this yourself, but use some AI agent slopgen workflow..
typed it all on my phone. I didn't even have to come up with anything, it just came out naturally. I guess you could say I've become AI-native

Maybe Google will finally launch a working coding agent
Antigravity seemed to work well at first, but the same model on the same software now seems to fail to edit most files most of the time, and then get itself tied in knots trying to resolve the error by editing files with awk, sed, grep, etc!
What they can never fix is that plenty of Pro users complain that they never get quota, models are always maxed out. I left, and I can’t believe how much time I wasted in AGY steering Gemini or reminding it that no, you can’t install random new dependencies or disable tests.

People thought Pets.com was here to stay as well
chewy.com is literally pets.com and it is thriving. Remember HN is mocking the capability/technology itself not the ability of specific firms to survive.
Seems like a stretch, considering it's down 50% compared to a year ago.
I was curious and just installed it, and... Antigravity is a literal clone of VSCode. Wtf? Honestly, it's so embarassing. I might write a blog post about this, but I remember falling in love with the art of product watching Google demo Google Wave. Janky sure, ahead-of-its-time maybe, but also visionary and mind-blowing. Here we are almost two decades later and Google is re-releasing something made by Microsoft. The…
There are two usual ways it occurs:
1. Political fights internal to the company resulting in incoherent strategy and products. HN assumes this is almost always the case, and but it's only sometimes the case :).
or
2. A bunch of execs sitting in a room saying stuff like "we have to have a platform with eyeballs that we control where we can surface our AI innovations and tools or else we'll be disintermediated/unable to release stuff that matters" or whatever.
(or both!)
The second part is often a real problem to solve. The first (you have to have a platform) does not follow.
At least two of the main issues with solving these kinds of problems this way (ie antigravity) is:
a. No user actually cares about your strategic problems and isn't interested in helping you. What you release still has to be valuable/etc enough that people are willing to use it over their existing tooling. At least right now, antigravity really isn't.
b. The strategy seems to assume a complete vacuum where it's Google vs existing tools. However, there are tons of large developer companies with the same exact problem of wanting a place they control to surface stuff (or whatever particular problem this is meant to solve). If they opt for the same approach, why would Google's strategy beat them? . If they opt for a different approach, same question.
If you poke there, i suspect you will find nobody has good answers to these questions.
So this approach turns into, at best, skating to where the puck is instead of where it will be.

Are you working for hire? I'd like you to join my team where we are automating parametrizing paradigms to foster growth in changing paradigms of parametrizing workflows.

ASI now. You'd think contrasted with AGI it would be Artificial Specialized Intelligence, but it's Artificial Super Intelligence. Since AGI already happened and didn't mean anything, the next step is a super AI.
Oh yeah? My dad works on a super duper AI. It's much better than a super AI.
