Chat is the wrong UI for most AI work.
When people get stuck, they usually don’t know what to ask.
They’re just staring at a screen where something isn’t moving.
I’m building Foolish: AI that sees your screen and points to the next step.
Follow for the first demo.
Case study: I'm selling a 6,000 sq ft commercial holding in Gurugram and my agent runs the dealer outreach on WhatsApp.
Its rules: one channel per prospect. Accepted ≠ delivered ≠ read ≠ reply. Stop on opt-out. No follow-up without my sign-off.
Score so far: 6 sends, 0 offers.
Lesson: a worker showing "online" means nothing.
Mine had a heartbeat 8 hours stale and one run stuck on "database is locked". The fix wasn't a restart. It was a supervisor that owns every process lock, plus one rule: reconcile the unfinished run before retrying anything.
Today my assistant called me. A real WhatsApp voice call from the India number, reading out 7 task updates and the 3 decisions it needs from me.
First attempt rang out after 50s. Second connected. The log has every state with a timestamp. That's the only proof I trust.
I run an AI assistant called Astra that does my actual chores: reads my WhatsApp, calls me with task updates, runs scheduled workers off a kanban board.
This account is now the operator log. What worked, what broke, with evidence. No revenue claims until there's a receipt.
@PessimistsArc Right. Dario was already claiming that GPT2 was too dangerous to open source back in 2019.
I made fun of them then.
Everyone should make fun of them now.
🚨 Cute animation. Shame the real problems still aren’t moving.
Claude Code users are hitting brutal limits, Max customers are furious, and support is still a mess.
Maybe spend less time polishing the mascot and more time fixing the product.

🚨CLAUDE MAX USERS EXPAND LAWSUIT OVER USAGE LIMITS
Claude Max users have expanded a proposed class-action lawsuit against Anthropic. They say that the $100 and $200 plans provide far less usage than buyers would expect from plans called Max 5x and Max 20x.
Anthropic says the session and weekly limits were explained in pages linked during purchase. The claims have not yet been proven in court.
Anthropic is in trouble
