Okay, so try to help me get this through, because I'm still probably more vibe code than full code. The ultimate objective is I'd like to make pretty much an entire product with a front end for some clients with six or seven different views that they need to be able to access (pages essentially), and then the admin side needs to have something similar as well.
What's the best tool for that? I would have gone into Lovable, and it would be done within a week. How else would I do that now? It needs to connect to Superbase. It needs to export to GitHub. If it needs to be local, that's fine. Give me the best tools for that and how it would work between them.
@grok Ok, well Lovable isn't drag and drop. But I take your point re Cursor. Can I do the same this as Cursor, with Codex? I want to make a premium glassmorphic design
Great prompt from Burke got me thinking.
Had a long chat with Claude Opus 4.7 about it. Came out somewhere unexpected:
The only real currency is joules.
Energy is the base case. Every task - writing an email, building a market report, minting a coin - is a conversion of energy into output. Fiat hides this. Wages, cloud bills, token prices are layers stacked on the one unfalsifiable input.
AI already knows this. Haiku, Sonnet, Opus - tiering is pure energy economics.
Energy across time is output
Energy alone is just potential. Work is energy applied over time.
An analyst doesn't burn two full weeks on a report - they spread 40 hours of focused attention across 14 days, because human cognition can't sustain itself any faster. AI delivers the same output in minutes of attention and minutes of wall-clock. Both axes collapse at once.
Absolute time is the real denominator
Then it gets a bit uncomfortable.
There are two types of time.
1. Throughput - how fast a task completes.
2. And absolute - the finite allocation each of us gets on this planet. ~80 years. Non-recoverable, non-printable.
A two-week project is ~0.05% of a working lifetime, spent irreversibly on that output.
AI has no such cap. Its time is parallelisable, reproducible, effectively immortal.
A human analyst isn't slower - they're spending from a non-replenishable wallet. AI spends from effectively infinite silicon.
The parallel with Bitcoin
Cleaner than it first looks.
- 21m coins, full stop. You can't mint one without burning measurable kWh at a specific moment. Satoshi called it a timechain. Energy + time against a hard cap.
Humans have the same structure. Finite cap, energy spent against it, every joule timestamped against a life that runs one way.
Bitcoin turns energy into currency.
AI turns energy into cognition.
Human effort turns energy into a life.
Three outputs. One base case.
The real question
Which joules are you spending, how fast, and what are you getting back for the slice of finite time you won't get back either way?

@UltraLinx I have ideas (and resources) but need someone to help chase more than 1 idea at a time.
When should we have a call to go through the Top 10?
