The crazy thing is that yes Cursor are losing money reselling ChatGPT / Claude - but Claude and OpenAI are ALSO losing money!

I’d love for someone to try to define “AI wrapper”. I’m trying to imagine a graph where at some point in time t the status of a company changes from “wrapper” (not enough “original” engineering) to “proper company” (they own the IP, and they fought for it!!!) At what point did OpenAI cease being an NVIDIA wrapper and become the world’s leading AI lab? At what point did NVIDIA graduate from being a TSMC wrapper? Clear…
'Wrapper' in this instance is your primary source of value is a prompt. I think you can think of it as how long would it take someone to come up with the product given enough information about the product. Take for instance an app that is a "companion" app. It's simplest form is a prompt + LLM + interface. They don't own the LLM so they have the prompt and interface. The prompt is simple enough to figure out (often b…

Everyone is fighting for their view of the world right now and for those of us who do not have any investment in the success of one of the models, it feels like pure speculation at this point. I don't think there's a human on this planet who can even predict the state of the industry in 3 years. In my entire time in the industry, I have always felt like I had a good line of sight three years away. Even when the iphon…
Just use the tools we have at our disposal and create cool, profitable, or meaningful stuff.
It was never easier than today.

Prioritization. If Microsoft is going to release something in a month, it's likely not worth working on to the same extent.

It’s exciting, isn’t it? I’ve been programming for a quarter century now and this is the first time in 20 years that the future of tech is exciting again and the world is software’s oyster. Can’t wait for AI 2.0 and ads :(
While I despise ads, it’s an interesting problem. Even on my personal site, I can’t really control how people learn about me.

Build regular programs that are useful and will not get replaced by AI.

Meta is an advertising company. Google is an advertising company. Microsoft, in fits of jealousy and veiled rage, wishes it were an advertising company. OpenAI is not profitable yet despite having high charge rates. If they aren't capitalizing on ad infusion yet, their shareholders should rightfully be getting angry, right? Money left on the table. Simply because you and I may not be able to buy ads does not mean the…
Yes it's obvious this has to happen. AIs tend to promote certain products a lot more than others. If a training set costs billions to process, the incentive to sneak your product into the set... Maybe give it a few additional training rounds of that... It's like an ad which keeps coming back over and over for the life of the model whenever someone asks a related question.

After another MCP discussion today got into "Neo4j is the best database for almost every MCP agent, because…" I realized I may have "Semantic Web PTSD" and finally have a name for some of the less than excited gut reactions to "Agentic" I've been having for a while now. (Beyond also the terrible gut reaction to both the "word" "agentic" itself and also naming a key protocol after the villain from Tron.)
