Miroslav Lysyuk

Builder & PE advisor with a bent for anthro & philosophy. I study what people actually do, then build for it. Acquired AI founder. Building from Lisbon.

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

Anthropology trained me to switch lenses: ask better questions, hold several worldviews at once, and genuinely enjoy how differently people see things.

I've built products for 15 years. My last AI startup was acquired, and now I build AI that helps PE firms diligence and turn around companies. After hours I make art and hardware that visualizes what's happening in the world, in real time.

I'm looking for people who skip the small talk, go deep fast, and make things happen. If that's you, say hi.

In 1906, John Philip Sousa warned that recorded music would kill real music.

Instead, music became ambient. It's in every café, car and pair of headphones, each person with their own playlist.

The backlash to cheap intelligence is just as overblown.

In 20 years, intelligence will be ambient too: built into streets, objects and to-do lists, working without being asked. And everyone will carry their own playlist of minds, tuned to their taste.

@pitdesi There will be other buyers lined up, and given demand, SpaceX will be able to charge even more.

@zulali Dude, this is stunning. Like finding dinosaur DNA and rebooting it with the help of a little AI. Bravo.

I’ve been vibe hacking hardware for over a year now. From 3D print to code, all via agent. But my ideas are still limited by off-the-shelf components and their constraints.

This is an early sign of what's next: hardware designed around your idea, not your idea bent around the available hardware. Sendcutsend for entire product categories.

Imagine asking for an eink display phone, battery maxxxed, don’t care about the camera, but I want solar charging. Braun aesthetic. Iridescent pink. $500 BOM. Two days later it’s at your door.

Fable 5.2 wrote its own specifications, selected the components, routed the four-layer circuit boards, designed enclosures for 3D printing, and programmed the software.

Each board was ready for manufacture in under a day. All three devices work without any modifications.

Web had Evernote. SaaS had Trello and Asana and a bunch of other niche offshoots. Then Notion.

Each one turned how we organize work into the shape of its era.

The agent version will be a list that manages itself after your input. Who’s doing this well?

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

I have two to-dos that are just "figure out if I need to do this."

An agent could answer each in a minute. Instead, they sit on my list until I remember to go ask one.

We still don't have an ambient agent for one of the most basic problems there is: keeping track of what you need to get done.

That's how early we are.

Human tools used to be simple, the sort you could make without learning from previous generations.
Then about 600K years ago they started getting more complex, implying people were learning from previous generations

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

@MishaTeplitskiy Also “human” is about 300k years ago, so this is hominid. And I think is strong correlate for point in time where language development becomes important for transmitting that knowledge.

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

@MishaTeplitskiy Love this - the moment you start using adhesives, complex stone chipping, projectiles, etc

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

Picture that. The important nuance is that we’re talking about this order of shift because they’re estimating capturing a percentage of labor spend, unlike historic SaaS arguing for IT budget.

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

Anthropic’s s1 reported annual TAM is $40 TRILLION with something like 1-2% penetration. Insane.

For reference Apple is $1T, Salesforce $290B.

@usludurkizim 72. 2x2x2=8. 5x5x2=50. 6x6x2=72.

Joel Mokyr won the Nobel prize in Econ for showing that sustained innovation needs a culture where criticizing the established way is normal, not an insult.

When admitting a mistake means losing face, errors don't get fixed. They get hidden.

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

There are parts of the world where people are culturally more prideful in response to people pointing out problems or flaws in a system or organization. Responsibility isn’t taken and instead shifted to others to avoid blame and losing face.

The result is slower progress for all.

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

Yes. This is the way. Real-time, data-fueled, large-scale art. The Claude choreography is a nice touch.

A clip from Boris Acket's new 8-story installation in Amsterdam.
Claude Opus 5.5 is choreographing the fabric via 400 fans and lights, synced to live weather and audio data.
Truly mesmerizing. Open through Nov 1.

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

@dnlklr No fucking way

[Miroslav Lysyuk @miromusing]

Nice 🇵🇹 I take that tram.

[Gonçalo Canhoto 🇵🇹 @goncalo_canhoto]

I see OpenAI is embracing the LisbonEval 😎

LFGGG 🇵🇹

@Grmauan Backward-looking financial and technical due diligence is saturated, while forward-looking, continuous market signals remain an underserved, hard problem.

@ritwikpavan Companies like Samsara have been doing this for a long time.
