When someone tells you what youโre building has no future itโs ok.. just build it for the present then.
Donโt let it rob you the joy of losing yourself in the creation.
Why worry whether something has been built or not?
Smart phones existed before the iPhone
Tablets existed before the iPad
Electric cars existed before Tesla
Chatting apps existed before WhatsApp
Databases existed before Postgres
AI existed before ChatGPT
Iโm not saying what you build will be great. it doesnโt have to be. This very thought will free you from the chains of forceful creativity and give you a breather to build freely. To finally enjoy your work block by block, line by line, byte by byte.
If others happen to use it and love it so be it, but you didnโt build it for them.
I resigned from Egypt today. I spent the last 26 years doing baboosing to the People and the Government. Neither is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving baboosing and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
