The real question for any SaaS product right now: what layer does it actually own?
Front layer only and the agents absorb it.
Backbone and it just got a new interface.

The AI layer is the rental.
We moved from ChatGPT to Claude and lost nothing. Gained, actually.
The data layer is the asset you own.
One you swap out. One you build.

Christmasses at my folks as they get older are class. My mum tried to give us a cheque but couldn’t find her cheque book. It turned up wrapped up in a present to my dad, along with £35 in cash. His actual present was a chocolate bar. So good.

Imagine being watched.

Does @X gamify you when you log on to the platform? Suddenly started getting follows and likes after I opened the app again, first time in months.

Transparent feeding for a social addiction?

People need to quit developing AI and focus their energy on being able to maintain a phone call on a train.

Why arent people out there solving real problems, like correcting the balance of sandwiches 🥪 vs cakes 🧁 on afternoon tea?
