this might be good stuff, but I'm not even interested anymore!

How can you tell it's AI generated?

#5A graph analytics database? Could you talk about the motivation, and competition?

How can you tell it's AI generated?
It has the look: fonts, style, layout, too many em-dashes, and weird phrasing like "Every surface reaches the same optimizer and execution core."

#7I was just thinking yesterday that some of what these AI generated sites have exposed is just how vacuous and low information content a lot of websites have become. The difference is previously you could at least say, "hey, someone at least spent a little money to create this" now that cost is pretty much zero. I think the answer is to simply demand more from people who have real products. If you have a product, I want to see a screenshot. Even better a demo and I'm not hitting the "schedule a demo" button. Either you step up and demonstrate capability or you're going to get lost in the noise.

#8It's a little weird to truncate the history [0] of your open source project and lock the v1 commits in a separate repo with limited access [1]. Are the authors embarrassed of the commit history?

#10The claim of "built for teams that measure latency in microseconds" is conflicted by the pseudo demo showing a simple query that takes 4 seconds. I could assume that this is slowed down for effect, but the glowing green label[1] tells me this is a "real engine run" so now I'm confused.
My core question is why would I use this instead of duckdb and writing SQL as God intended[2]?
