Founder @ Stealth | ex-OpenAI (contract), UBS | @joinodf fellow. I only talk about AI. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

@matt__makes bull signal for you and me tbh

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

I've also had people ask for my secrets to build a competing product! Totally shameless

People expect AI to write code for them, and strangers to fill in the gaps 🥲

[Matt @matt__makes]

some people really need a reality check 😂

"hey man, i'm building the exact same SaaS as yours, could you share me all your secrets so i can copy your whole architecture?"

don't be that guy

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@LadySoleil33 That sucks!

Lately I’ve been recommending founders to stay quiet about what they’re building until they have a moat

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

I'm speechless

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@LadySoleil33 be careful what you put out there, you never know who will see haha

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@is_this_laith I agree that if the product can be cloned with AI, he shouldn't be building it

But to be fair, building and validating an idea still takes time

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@0xDRick What does this do?

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@andyrosenbaum what is the square root of -1?

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

Update: Ryan reached out again from a different email

I told him he was going viral

He says the reaction is a lot nicer than he was expecting lol

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

This is your competition btw

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@chenzhangreal heterodox thinking leads to heterodox outcomes

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

I was hoping for 20 beta users

Suddenly, the product started growing by 20 people *each day*

Don't listen to the doomers- there has never been a better time to build!

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@InboxZero Tbh, I think 120 ppl liked this by mistake 🤣

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

This is your competition btw

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@InboxZero get after it

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@InboxZero *21 people each day

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@WeCanShootToo Hmm, I don’t think the evidence supports the claim that distaste for AI is because it’s not secure or intelligent

Most of it seems to be misconceptions about data centers, water usage, and fear of change in art adjacent fields

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

This is a real user review I just got

The product solves their biggest pain point, but they won't use it because it's AI

Half the population has been brainwashed

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@Timeisntreal3 @DormyStaniels_ congrats! if that's not a strong pmf signal, idk what is

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@Timeisntreal3 @DormyStaniels_ wow they must've really wanted your product if they were willing to call!

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@0xCritters seeing this too! gotta be a bug

[Jake Carlson @llm_bender]

@ScorpiionRos Interesting- it seems like a pretty generic message so makes sense
