AI is Mercury pilled

[immad @immad]

The products that LLMs recommend will be the dominant products people use.

You win this game by:
1. Building a product that customers love and talk about on the Internet.
2. Playing well with LLMs, e.g. with API/MCP/CLIs etc.

Great to see @Mercury wining here.

Ancient Mesopotamian civilizations walked/token maxxed, so Mercury books could run...

[Mercury @mercury]

Imagine: Carving your subscriptions into clay tokens. Reconciling last quarter on an abacus, bead by bead. Tracking payroll in Excel '98.

Tens of thousands of years of record keeping, and the newest iteration basically updates itself.

@JonHearty eventually all that will be left is vibes

Mercury = particle physics

[immad @immad]

One of the coolest things about @Mercury Books is this insane particle animation for onboarding.

Made the wait for loading in Mercury data + categorization way more fun.

Incredible design by @verlichen.
