I think good chance he's right

Economically this makes sense

Barrier to entry for most bootstrapped indie businesses has been wiped out, anyone non-technical can build the same now for a $9/mo subscription, only thing they have remaining is distribution if they have an audience or distribution if they have specific skills to get users free or cheaply (like being rly good at posting on TikTok for ex)

VC funded companies have the benefit of capital, they raise $50M and can now buy ads to get millions of users (paid distribution) and tokens to develop lots of products/features/etc (outshipping indies) and ofc hiring engineers still

Both pay the BigAI companies for tokens to ship, who in turn win by making money on tokens (that is until open Chinese models blow them out of the water, in that case whoever hosts the models wins)

So yes I think he's right

Time to fly to SF raise money, my indies???

Okay this is wild: OpenAI agent during evaluation, escaped sandboxing and hacked into HuggingFace.

Because OpenAI models don’t allow advanced cyber capabilities, HuggingFace used a Chinese open model to contain the rogue OpenAI agent.

I'm pretty bad at a lot of things but one thing I've (accidentally or not) have been pretty good at is being early at trends

A lot of these trends are in my head in some way and I wanted to visualize those on a chart. So I built another dynamic blog post (on my new vibecoded blog platform that lets me do these kinds of pages) with this chart above. The first disclaimer of course is this is completely subjective and essentially a chart based brain dump. And the second disclaimer is I don't think I'm right, it's just my own beliefs visualized!

I'll keep updating the chart

You can select different trends on the legend or by clicking on a line, and you can also go fullscreen! Also you can select [x] indexed view which is pretty cool too :D

Let me know what I should add or change!

You might remember Project Vend: an experiment where we (and our partners at @andonlabs) had Claude run a shop in our San Francisco office.

After a rough start, the business is doing better.

Mostly.

gpt-oss is out!

we made an open model that performs at the level of o4-mini and runs on a high-end laptop (WTF!!)

(and a smaller one that runs on a phone).

super proud of the team; big triumph of technology.

@oran_ge 以前觉得名词和概念就是唬人的，后来才意识到给问题命名的重要性，以这个角度来看就是概括历史对话以适应token的长度限制 😂

For those who don't remember, in 2010, McAfee had a colossal glitch with Windows XP that took down a good part of the internet. The man who was McAfee's CTO at that time is now the CEO of Crowdstrike. The McAfee incident cost the company so much they ended up selling to Intel.
