You know, there's a good chance that my Claude scraped this. Also it needs way more image and way less map. I care more about browsing the gallery/stuff than where it is physically.
If you live outside San Francisco, you might not necessarily see all the _absolutely ridiculous_ AI startup billboards along the highway and throughout the city. The marketing copy is so "inside baseball" that sometimes I don't really know what it would mean to "Observe MDP workflows. With an agent".
I think I will always get more fulfillment from the rush of leaving work a bit early on a Friday afternoon, knowing I have a couple of plans for the weekend but not being too busy, picking up a treat for my wife and I on the way home, when the weather is good (cool and crisp or partly sunny and dry), and the city is alive; I will get more satisfaction from that feeling than any "dream" I could imagine.
TODO:
1. Automate registering the domain
2. Automate setting up the DNS
3. Better automate deploying to Netlify (Claude kind of choked on this one)
I also used my trick of immediately changing the Namechep NS records to AWS Route 53, to avoid getting a parking page and having to wait for an hour TTL to expire.
The most frustrating part was waiting for Netlify to figure out the Let's Encrypt cert. It takes ages and I have to manually recheck. Fix this Netlify! (If anyone from Netlify is reading this, it seems like I click "veryify DNS" it says "Success!" but if I reload the page it asks me to verify again).
Time spent: ~30 minutes
Total cost:
- Claude: $0.56
- Domain: 12 bucks of course ;)
- Hosting (Netlify): $0.00
Another annoying thing about the 1976 Copyright Act/Berne Convention is that copyright is automatic. You don't need to register with any organization, any "original work of authorship fixed in a tangible form" is copyright. This is the real problem with public github repos that don't have a license file, because they also likely lack a copyright imprint with a date.
This is not related, but another problem with current US copyright law is that there's no exception for companies that go out of business. The works are still copyright encumbered even if no one exists that can enforce that right.
Based on the former two points, you end up with works where you can't find out who holds the copyright, and it doesn't matter if they're dead or whatever because it's still copyrighted. This leads to the "assume everything is copyrighted" posture that stifles so much creativity.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree. My mom used to play some tropical island game. She told me that she loved hearing the waves crash as she "landed on her island". For her, that game was every bit as entertaining as Borderlands 2 is for some hardcore console gamer.
