If I had applied to yc, I would have thought they had "distilled" my startup idea xD
It's not very novel
Ok but then why did they ask for this in a Request For Startups?

I guess the em dash is really dead.

#93Oh sweet, nice to see someone writing about multivalue databases.

I have been seeing people use it more who I am fairly confident are not otherwise using AI to write public-facing communications. It's almost like there's a minor movement to try and reclaim it. Either that or it's somehow getting past my AIdar.

#97Cool. This also feels a lot like what copilot is doing. It’s nice that copilot integrates out of the box with teams/outlook/office, so it has great company/work context

#98It's fascinating to see new UI primitives and concepts get invented in the LLM era. The sea of creativity makes it hard to even understand most of what each new app does, and nobody describes them well. When I went to the Hermes agent web page, I was left with zero clue about what it did or what it could do. It took a bit of digging to find the right part of the qm page that helped me grok what was going on. I've bec…
It is fascinating and I love to see it. Ultimately though, why not build your own? I think that in part is what we're beginning to see-- highly customized and personalized software. I take most of these as inspiration these days and just build my own. Nothing you can't hammer out with a few good Claude sessions.

#99"multiplayer"? Is this a game? I honestly don't know what that means in this context.

Why not build my own? Because my good ideas are in other areas, and I'm going to expend my energies where they have the most impact.
I've replaced most of my business software that I was paying for with custom stuff, already, for busy-LLM-work.
I am but a leaf riding on top of the sea of creativity of others when it comes to these new interaction patterns.
