It’s kinda interesting seeing what, IIRC, was originally a subreddit name which spawned from an AskReddit thread, is now a common marketing phrase in the tech world. Similar to the sub itself, it’s now just shorthand for “describe using the first principles the expected audience should understand.” I imagine a lot of people in the industry also fondly remember the 2010s reddit experience.

It’s way older than Reddit, it’s older than the Office. I remember Denzel Washington saying it in some movie when I was a kid, and I doubt it originated there. Doesn’t Einstein have a quotation about it, too?

I've built two multi-million dollar businesses this year. I have no interest in building Windows. Right now I'm building some very cool business functions similar to companies with way more funding yet lackluster product offerings. I have no doubt someone out there somewhere will follow up on exactly what you've suggested.

Assuming Guyanese dollars, you can claim a multi-million dollar business when your business hits 9,615 USD valuation.

Are you making a joke? Not being snarky, I actually can't tell if it's a real suggestion or satirical.

Half joking, half serious. We need AI to challenge assumptions to not just "you are absolutely correct" all the time.

Or… we maybe don’t actually need AI and can interact with humans?

Cool. Windows was made in 7.5 years. Since you can do one month per 2 days it should take you less than 6 months to make something equivalent to Windows and make as much money. How long have you been doing it??

Mind sharing details? That would actually be a really huge news if that’s true

It doesn't. But as long as it's a vibe-coded slop product shat out by one of the tech glitterati using the latest marketing wanketeering and sucking up tokens to power the in-built AI nonsense, it'll be eaten up. The bubble can't pop soon enough.

Rail roads were definitely useful when the British rail road bubble happened. Same with the dotcom. A bubble is generally based on something genuine, but the enthusiasm doesn’t match reality, which is what we are seeing with AI. Companies valuations make absolutely no economical sense, and most use of AI doesn’t have a positive ROI. That’s the bubble. Doesn’t say anything about how useful the technology is to you

Yeah just need to tell the system prompt to not do that. A grumpy senior engineer agent that pushes back on constant tech stack changes would be good too.

Don’t forget to light some candles and invoke the name of the Omnissiah while you’re at it.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I claimed the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind claim to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the cooled biomass that you called a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

Might be related to https://github.com/storytold/artcraft, they posted it a while ago. I can imagine there's demand for quick storyboarding in the filmmaking / content creation world.

That said, turning a tool into a profitable business is another story entirely; if one person can turn an idea into working software with the help of AI, dozens more can too. So I'm also curious, not just from idea to software, but from software to business and millions of income.

My understanding of what they were saying Buzz is is that agents are "1st class" users in their own right, rather than being an app integration. If you have a user called Claude, then you just apply ACL as normal & you don't care if they're human or bot, right?

The issue is when users interact with claude, what can they see? If the AI can see super-secret-payroll-details.md - is it allowed to discuss that with any user? is there some sort of internal ACL within claude that asks pretty please don't tell everyone they're underpaid? That's why multiuser agents can be an issue. The other way to do this, is to have claude installed for everyone, and any user's chat with claude u…

I would've thought you could solve that with multiple agents.

So rather than having "Claude" installed as a god-mode user in all channels, you have 10 instances of a bot running, each with their own context and ACLs.

For example, you could set it so that the agent's ACLs become the intersect of the least privileged user in all the channels it lives in - you try to add a bot to the "Executive Bonus discussion" and get told

> You can't add AliceBot to this channel because AliceBot is also in #intern-onboarding alongside 'Johnny Appleseed' and Johnny doesn't have access to this channel. Would you like to create a new bot?"

AI psychosis is real mate, maybe take one of those weekends, go for a walk, no screens, maybe see some trees.
