It's almost as if there are different people with different motivations and ideas about how the world should work

Maybe 500 years into the future burger bun photography will be treated as a "beautiful practice" while nutrient syringes are getting shoved into our other buns.

This is how I for one understood this.

AI slop is AI slopping.

You don’t need a Drillator-X 3000 AI Ready™ if a simple screwdriver gets the job done. IMHO the main thing technical people get wrong about B2B problems.

Also calling HTMX old makes me feel old.

Absolutely. I'd buy it and leave a review, too. :)

OH MY GOD THIS IS GOOD.

Loved the music.

Didn't know what was going on half the time.

Positively overwhelmed.

Thanks for that little spark of joy!

Building Alyph — a canvas-based AI workspace.

My problem: my super-long, months-old ChatGPT threads were breaking down. Even typing got slow, and the longer the threads got, the more they hallucinated. I loved Google AI Studio and paid for it, but I was constantly deleting and re-editing the same thread just to try a different angle. And I couldn't run multiple frontier models against the same context or files without copy & paste and tab switching.

I do 99% of my AI work now in Alyph. One board instead of a dozen tabs, branch anywhere, hot-swap models on the same context. Best guess: I'm 3x faster building things. The honest 1% failure case: it's too slow to load for a quick throwaway question.

Hardest technical problem so far: layout algorithms for an infinite canvas.

Pre-revenue, early users. Building self-service billing now.

Looking for a co-founder who's sold B2B software before.

"Behind Cloudflare" is the centralisation part

I would really, really love it to have some sort of conclusion / interpretation / aggregated data.

> I’d hate for ownership of a consumer device to become codified as a requirement for participation in activities like this.

What is your reasoning for that sentiment? (I don't disagree)

Being advocate of the devil here.

Would you allow doing the same for gym memberships?
