Maybe that's the jargon to use to avoid us anthropomorphizing this technology. What is it if not a clanker that spits out random non-deterministic bullshit depending on time of the day and generosity of these providers?
I also find this sentiment to be a uniquely American phenomenon. They tend to see racism and discrimination where it has no place being. My impression is that they have dreams about it. Bonkers to me.
It's not about the status quo. It's about the speed of change and focus. While I'm all in on building custom agentic loops and building extensions for my pi I have enough bandwidth and xp to see that it's quite easy for business people to be focused on the matters that are completely non-technical. That plus plain sunk cost fallacy and blind denial ofc.
You on the other hand keep assuming that startup founders, even in SV are technical enough to envision AI or can change the thesis of their business on a whim of technology change that has been introduced less than a year ago. It's not realistic. Businesses have systems, people, obligations, legacy, etc.
Yeah I get what you're saying. Sounds like this guy is driven, smart and savvy then? Definitely a bleeding edge minority who goes where the puck is.
As to my original point I'll go and say that 95/100 of business owners out there in the world don't have any idea about Claude Code, Codex or anything of that caliber. It's too early. By the time that group gets to it there'll be tools tailored to their needs, not a terminal-based coding agent messing up filesystem.
Look around, you're most definitely in a bubble. LLMs are bleeding edge by themselves. Using agentic anything is mega bleeding edge. Having something actually working reliably is a tiny sliver of the bleeding edge audience. We have barely entered early adoption phase. Most AI users out there are Q&A'ing it and they have no idea what agents, tool calling or context compaction are.
Working on Wordspike.com which I launched earlier this month. It exists to help you extract information from videos so that you save time and get a text to work with. It’s freemium model.
I'll update UI for the table of contents in a moment.
As for LLMs, my vision for Wordspike’s not to replace human voice, but to act as a filter. It's an add-on to see what video content is valuable to watch in full. It's my attempt to built a counter-weight to the endless amount of shorts and slop I see online.
I built this because I have a love-hate relationship with YouTube. It's an incredible resource, but the platform's design makes it a major productivity trap. I wanted a way to get the knowledge without the time sink.
Wordspike takes any YouTube link and turns it into a clean, readable article with summaries and key insights. It also has a one-click "Send to Kindle" feature. I built the first version in about two weeks using React, Bun, Postgres, and Redis.
