@iocmedia What has changed since 2014? Did russia withdraw its troops from Ukraine and pay reparations? Ohh wait, I know what happened. They just found a way to brine enough people at the IOC executive board. As russia always does.

@220newsua Imagine other counties who signed the Budapest memorandum have the balls to step in at least in some form and help clean up those cities. The war would be over in 2014.

@jasonlk True if you try to clone hubspot. But the trick is that you don't need hubspot or Salesforce. It's not ai friendly. How much time (and tokens) Claude would spend on updating a record? A lot. Because it's clunky and generic, not optimized for the special business needs.

@OpenAI Did I read it clearly? Is Terra going to be twice cheaper than the GPT-5.5 in the api?

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

Dear @OpenAI, there is no Add to balance button at the Billing page. How do you want us to switch to credits if I can't buy them?

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

@jasonlk Why to use Replit when there is Claude / Codex that do both coding and deployment to Azure/AWS/Google/Vercel seamlessly?

@karpathy @kuroke01 @gallabytes Tried Threads?

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

@jasonlk Cursor valued the same as Anduril? Okay

@Angaisb_ Can you also share your prompts using https://t.co/d2aUWtlYKj

@victormustar Can you share the prompts using https://t.co/d2aUWtlYKj?

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

@hayashimon1 Can you share how you did that using https://t.co/d2aUWtlYKj?

@HedgieMarkets Despite the fact they make the new llm models more cost efficient to run, they keep increasing the API cost. It's also a dead end for the wrappers since it's becoming more difficult to sustain margins.

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

@KaiXCreator Of course no. True founders code their apps using assembler. High level programming languages and frameworks were always for losers. The same now for vibe coding.

@bchesky @danywander Using airbnb since 2014. The improvement of the UX should not come from the removal of date time pickers, location and the # of bedrooms. There is nothing wrong with it. Instead, we should look at how we'd task Claude Code to pick a place to stay for us and learn from there.

@Mike_Pence russia is on their last legs. And the pressure Ukraine puts in them will only increase with each month.

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Attempt number 438 to make Ukraine surrender. The US can give us some of their territory if they want to. My home is left on occupied territory in Donetsk. Maybe isolate russia like the US did to Cuba/Iran/what c and make them leave sovereign country instead of pleasing russia?

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

@forgebitz Frog too

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

OpenAI doubled the price for the API usage for the second time in 4 months. It's getting more and more expensive to run an AI wrapper business. $30/million tokens is way to much. Even if we developers manage to sell this to our customers, no margin will be left.

[Sam Altman @sama]

API pricing will be $5 per 1 million input tokens and $30 per 1 million output tokens, with a 1 million context window.

(Remember, you will need less tokens per task than 5.4!)

[Oleksandr Gamaniuk @ogamaniuk]

Many are starting to question whether the price of those public SaaS companies was ever justified. If we look at what we actually pay for in SaaS, the picture doesn’t look that healthy.

- bloated features built for other types of companies we never use
- dozens or hundreds of integrations with apps we don’t need
- huge marketing and sales expenses
future R&D and internal labs budgets
- backward compatibility code still “there” to support older users
- infrastructure consumed by other SaaS users
- pricing experiments, performance marketing, and analytics infrastructure

This can easily eat up 80–90% of what’s paid to a vendor.

Thanks to Claude and Codex, the DeSaaS movement will accelerate, and more companies will replace expensive database and workflow wrappers like HubSpot with self-hosted apps built in-house, bought, or sourced from AI-native app marketplaces.

I just analyzed the 1,275 Zapier keywords exported from Google Ads Planner and the demand for keywords is at least "flat" even with a little decline over the past year.
Zapier might be losing ground because of AI. It's easier to natively integrate with a third-party app then before and no expensive middleman with a clunky UI is needed.
