What's left to do when AI can build everything?

Many things actually!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Software is dead

It's now the era of personal software and everyone just builds what they need whenever they need it I think

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@denisyurchak It's all the same in Southern Europe :D

Nobody will help you, even for money!

But with Claude Code now I can make a video and ask it to guide me how to fix things myself :D

@MarkOSullivan94 Impossible, I use Stripe and don't store your CC data

You probably have a Chrome extension or malware that's stealing your CC data

@JackEllis @theNOBSdentist Amazon Europe sells NOBS for $50, same pack in US is $15!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Intermediary conclusion for now:

Most of the good non-fluoride hydroxyapatite toothpaste like Nobs, Boka and Biomin are only sold in the US as most Europeans are blissfully unaware of the problem with fluoride

Trying to buy it on Amazon Europe you pay like 5x to 10x the price, if it's available at all, it's crazy!

Guess we have to fly to 🇺🇸 America again

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Guys, it's that time again

What's the best toothpaste?

Preferrably without fluoride etc, and as clean and bio and healthy as possible

Thank you!!!

@daveg Which is maybe why actually

[Jonatan Salas @jonatan_salas]

I think you might be overestimating how representative the tech bubble is of ordinary people's preferences. It might be worth talking to people outside those circles.

Just because AI makes something easier to do doesn't necessarily mean people will want to do it themselves. Convenience, time, and the willingness to outsource are still very powerful drivers of consumer behavior.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@duffy_fallon No clue but try it

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Claude Code can design furniture part by part and then give you a bill of materials to order each part and put it together yourself

And way cheaper than big interior brands sell you their furniture

Furnishing my house I discovered how absolutely insane prices are for the most basic cheap materials put together with a fancy brand tied to it

One shop had a sofa for $30,000 😂

I think with Opus 5.5 and other models easily operating 3d programs like Blender and FreeCAD (both free) it makes more sense to cut out the middle man and go straight to suppliers and design and build your own furniture

Which in a way makes customers more powerful (they can get exactly what they want and usually for cheaper without the markup)

Anyway @theannalux designed this table from scratch, she's not a furniture designer, not a coder, she just had an idea of a style and worked with Claude Code in the terminal (far superior to the app I will keep saying this)

If you design your own furniture and buy the raw materials directly, you can save 85% compared to premium brands like Poliform

That means the $30,000 sofa becomes $4,500! And the $8,000 dinner table becomes just $1,200!

You can see where the idea comes from that AI will make everything 5x to 20x cheaper, and it's already starting!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@mikedoesrobots Yeah and a whole lots of markup bullshit too (most of it!)

Very interesting... 🇨🇳 Foshan for custom furniture!

[Pps831 @Pps831]

@levelsio My observation: when visiting furniture stores i rarely like anything. When i tried to check online i didn’t like anything from china. But when i came in person, maaan, totally different game. Foshan in a furniture capital of the world, i was walking their furniture mall ….

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@BeardWhoCodes It has a glass top

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@brick295 Let's see :D

[@levelsio @levelsio]

I think many people are underestimating basic economics

If something is 5x cheaper to buy and it's personalized (aka better) it'll be worth it

Also you've ever ordered something from furniture brands these days? Service is non-existent and everything is delayed because of labor shortages, on top of that two of the furniture companies I ordered from went bankrupt after we got our orders!

We're in the era of personal software and as an extension of that personal hardware, with kind of a second maker wave happening, because now it's suddenly become accessible to design and build hardware for almost everybody, thanks to AI

The question here is will suppliers (mostly in China) also start doing custom assembly and shipping it worldwide, many already do but this seems a market they could jump on

Many furniture brands are essentially dropshippers for products made in cheap countries anyway. Even the fancy Italian brands mostly produce in Eastern Europe and China!

So all you're doing is removing the intermediary I think 🤔

[Jonatan Salas @jonatan_salas]

I think you're substantially underestimating how many people would simply rather pay for something than spend their own time designing, sourcing, coordinating, and assembling it themselves.

Time and convenience have value too. Not everyone wants to become a furniture designer or manufacturer just to save money on a sofa.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@duriel_eth Yep Porto is huge in this, but for example the Italian brands manufacture in Eastern Europe and China
