"Our work is proprietary and should not be copied for free to create derivatives"

says company that monetizes an LLM that absorbed and copies the work of millions of artists, creators, and leaders of their fields for free without retribution.

Absolute cinema

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.

These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

@TheGeorgePu I dont doubt it but bootstrapping is its own rock to carry up a hill and i bet you many of those guys arent built for it either.

@Jamiebower A pleasure to watch elite talent like you being elite on screen

[Andrés Gabelić @AndrewGabelic]

Where previous versions of ChatGPT agreed with everything you said (bad), newer versions reflexively find the one thing they can debate even when you’re objectively right and the debatable portions it is nitpicking are irrelevant and sometimes even logically dubious (this is just as bad for different reasons).

The most important thing you can do with LLMs is debate it on any topic you are an actual expert in. Go in asking “is this argument right or wrong” knowing what the real answer is, and watch how it behaves.

That is when you’ll see the true inner workings of this tool, and lose faith on all the chats you had with it when you were actually seeking valuable input on topics you were ignorant in.

Not saying the tool is useless. Saying you need to be really intelligent to use it properly and not let it add more problems to your life than it solves.

@hnshah People think it's easy because we make it look easy. 😛

[Hiten Shah @hnshah]

Most people have no idea what it actually takes to be a founder. They talk about vision, grit, or passion. Those words are props.

What you really sign up for is a life where every decision feels like it costs something real. You will spend years being misunderstood. By your team, your family, even the people you hire to help you. You will fail in public and still need to keep the energy up in private. Every founder lives with the weight of knowing that you can do everything right and still get crushed by luck, timing, or somebody else’s mistake.

Founders aren’t braver than anyone else. They just get used to uncertainty, then stop waiting for clarity. Most of your wins won’t feel like wins at all. The first revenue will be too small. The first team will outgrow you or leave. The first product that feels right will barely matter to the market. You will doubt yourself in private, sometimes every week. The founders who last figure out how to keep moving while the ground shifts underneath them.

Most outsiders want the founder badge but none of the scars. They want the upside, not the drag. The hardest part is sticking around after every plan gets blown up and you have to rebuild with less optimism and more scar tissue. What makes it work isn’t relentless hustle or some mythical trait. It’s learning to make peace with constant discomfort, and then making decisions anyway.

If you need constant reassurance, you’ll give up before the real work begins. If you want everyone to like you, you’ll never make the calls that matter. If you can’t handle months where nothing feels certain, this life will eat you alive.

But if you can hold your own in chaos, get better at being wrong, and still want to show up and try again, you just might have a shot at building something that matters.

That’s what it actually takes. And nobody cares until you make it work.

@hthieblot it's pretty obvious to anyone who has actually bootrstrapped.

Scarcity chases and compromises
Abundance waits and selects
Scarcity fears missing out
Abundance knows more will come
Scarcity acts from want
Abundance acts from strategy
