#162It's nice to see an explanation of how they think you should use Claude for a host of different job functions / aspects of building a business, but the tone makes it seem like founding a startup is something you wake up one morning and just decide to do instead of, say, going to the park. Over coffee, you ask Claude about your idea and when it tells you "you're a genius" you're off. That's silly in so many ways. Stat…
> Your blog post doesn't get found by anyone in Google until you've built up your SEO mojo, your LinkedIn post isn't read without the followers you need to accumulate and your content has to get engagement for people to see it even then, you don't start off line with a million followers on X, etc. I hate that this is true. It's the worst part about selling stuff online IMO and I found that you have to spend so much t…
This problem really bothers me as well. I think that ultimately this problem boils down to reducing search cost[0], which the internet has already partially done. I think AI will reduce them further if it is not captured by the advertisement industry for the average user.
However, we cannot assume a fully rational customer in the real world. Especially in software, the customer does not know what they are looking for most of the time. Further they cannot evaluate how good your offering is vs competitors without investing a significant amount of time, which in turn increases search cost.

#164AI psychosis at it's finest.
How is it AI psychosis?

#165This isn't about how to build an AI-native startup, it's how to use Anthropic tools to automate 2019 style app building. An AI native startup would have AI infused into the product, and Anthropic doesn't want anyone but them to sell AI.
They don’t want you in the bake-off.

And looks like most of the document writing has been done by Claude. And that too a stereotype one (yawn)

...And that insight is what changes everything. But not in the way people expect...
My wife laughs when I sent texts in claude speak and requests it when she needs a quick giggle.

#169Earlier quoted context omitted.
100 PRs a day? I am sure this is hyperbole but otherwise you have a quote for me?
100 feels low given I just saw dependabot do 8 in one hour. No AI required! It matters a lot what size the PRs are, and this varies wildly from place to place. I spoke to someone who instituted a “no PRs over 500 lines” rule. I would refuse to even read something that big unless it was just a find and replace or boilerplate.
Who reviews these 100s of PRs tho? 100 PRs in an 8 hour workday = 1 PR every 4.8 minutes.
If I saw this happening in my org it would be a huge red flag, am I old?

Of course they want others to explore use cases for them to isolate themselves from the risks. Once the dust settles, they will cut out the middle man. And in the meantime they had someone to sell their slop to.
