I joined Lovable a little over a year ago. Looking back at what we’ve built since then is pretty incredible.

My team made Lovable fully enterprise ready and built the governance layer that companies need to deploy AI at scale.

This Series C allows us to keep building the best team in the world.

Lovable is no longer just an app building agent. It’s becoming your business partner.

We’re just getting started.

@felpix_ Thinking out loud:
1. Notify me of the concerts and cultural events in the area that I might like
2. Health admin / Remind to schedule appointments
3. Proactively drive me towards my goals
4. Surface deadlines (taxes, trips, etc)
5. Optimize my finances

These odds weren’t acceptable in the fight against the USSR. Why are they acceptable now?

The Soviet Union was a far more direct and hostile threat to the US than China is today.

If that risk wasn’t justified then, what makes it justified now?

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

“There is a 10%+ chance we are going to kill everyone.”

“But if we don’t do it, China might catch up.”

How is this a reasonable argument to make to Americans?

@solopribuilds Vibe-coder.
We are past vibes, though. Everyone is straight up a creator now.

@tszzl This feels straight out of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

@jackfriks Adversarial markets don’t care how good your model is.

Everyone has access to the same model.

You still have to find the alpha.

Btw, If you’re building a business, there are much better harnesses than calling Claude directly.

It’s no surprise 23-year-olds are building $10B+ companies.

Everyone over 30 is still looking for an imaginary moat before building anything.

@Lovable >Generate a video that captures the horror of “There Is No Antimemetics Division.”

That’s the entire prompt. Here’s what it came up with.

The book is great, btw.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

$400+ in video AI experiments later, I’m happy to report that it still takes a human to make something decent.

The biggest bottleneck now seems to be the script, though.

@Lovable is getting really good at generating great videos based on good scripts!

@MLwagie The hypothesis was that being rational and good at predicting the future leads to power.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

2010 me: "If thinking rationally and correcting your biases actually matters, people reading LessWrong will run the world one day."
2026: here we are. It does matter.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

@NeelNanda5 I do understand how some of the folks one meets in the EA community could be very annoying, though 😅

@benhylak Why is it humiliating?
I had a business in Germany. It's was hard, but not sure why it would be humiliating.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

@shafu0x Come on, everyone knows you need to use OpenAI for hacking.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

If you are building an AI startup exclusively for the European market, think again.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

@maxedapps So true. That’s exactly why we built Managed Connectors at @Lovable.

You can build with Google Maps/Drive/etc without ever touching an API key.

The moment you ask users to bring their own key, you lose most of them.

@raywongy Both are nothing compared to Linkedin.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

@korodev Thanks for making this work, Robbert! Let's go!

@GergelyOrosz Study Reinforcement Learning.

[Vladimir Arustamian @VArustamian]

I used more tokens today to center a div and fix a few bugs.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.

We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use.
