in case you are interested in ~this for your team, but dont want to either be vendor-locked to grok or give mecha-hitler extra money, consider trying what we've been building at https://noriagentic.com/ (or any of the other startups working in the same space)

This feels like scheming behavior to me, especially damning that OpenAI didn't catch it for so long

i know this doesnt take away from the point of the article, but the whole thing is written by ai which just immediately makes me distrust it

And here's what people don't know: its not poetry, it's passion -- and that makes the difference.

> A freedom sucking job (lots of travel to places I don't want to be) or 90h weeks is a no for me.

Actually I think you agree with the central premise of the article, even if the examples didn't resonate

> Interestingly, two words that aren't mentioned even once in this entire article: "co-founder" and "hire"

I actually debated including this!

But I ended up not doing so, because your co-founder and the people you hire will end up being more aligned to you (your values, judgements, whatever) than even the market you end up in, especially early on. And if they don't, that's an even bigger problem. Founder breakups are the #1 cause of startup death.

Also, agreed, all of this is out the window once you _already_ have the ability to hire a bunch of other people, but that rarely happens right out the gate, which is where most of my interest lies

> straw man examples

not straw men, all real but unnamed examples (also not really what a straw man is but whatever)

> Perhaps you could submit something you're curious about, instead?

Hi, author here. I write about what I'm curious about. I don't think it's promotion (both in spirit or letter) to share what I am curious about. I hate just linking to without any commentary, since that has very low value-above-replacement.

I'm curious why you went into my posting history -- do you do that for every post?

[EDIT] to be clear this isnt written by AI, despite a few people seemingly tripped up by it. Check pangram if you doubt
