for the optimist to make money, they need to survive markets going down after they went up
also in the true sv fashion the third option is that markets are irrelevant in a post singularity world, but that one is reserved for the true believers

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

there are basically only two trades;
1. light AGI pilled — the markets are failing to price the incredible productivity gains, margin expansion, etc

2. dark AGI pilled — the markets are failing to price the coming violence, destabilization, currency and nation state effects,etc

@karrisaarinen @thdxr until someone comes and takes the idea of side quests seriously.. vertically integrates them in a company... etc
comparative advantage is not binary or linear
but its playing on hard mode, so most players choose to be distracted from main quest instead

it's surprisingly difficult nowadays to make apple accept your $ and give you anything meaningful for it in less than 30 days

we might need more positive spin

they had to move troops around the defence line during ww1 to avoid the two sides getting to know each other, since if fighters would stay for long periods in the same position, they would make contact eventually and not shoot at the other side

Wild: Stack Overflow went from 300,000 questions/month to almost 0 after ChatGPT launched, and yet its revenue is up 2X to $115 million 😳

Shortly after OpenAI launched ChatGPT, the internet’s most important developer forum basically stopped being used.

And yet Stack Overflow’s revenue doubled, and is now at $115M a year.

How? Instead of fighting AI, Stack Overflow sold itself to AI 🤖

Here’s how they pulled off one of the wildest pivots in tech 👇

While developers stopped asking questions, AI companies started buying answers.

15+ years of human-crafted answers.
58M+ Q&A pairs.
Millions of real bugs.
Edge cases.
War stories.

The internet’s highest-quality coding dataset, so Stack Overflow licensed it.

And then they did the smartest move of all.

They stopped chasing public traffic and went inside companies.

Launched “Stack Internal”, a private GenAI tool trained on Stack Overflow’s knowledge, plugged directly into enterprise workflows.

Private. Secure. Inside companies.

Used by 25,000+ organisations already.

Not a forum.
Not a community.

An internal AI brain for developers.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

The internet’s open knowledge era is collapsing.

Not because knowledge vanished.
But because it got privatized.

Volunteers built it for free.
AI monetizes it at scale.

And that’s the biggest lesson for every platform, founder, and creator:

Data is the ultimate moat now.

If you own high-quality data, you have leverage.

If you don’t, you’re feeding someone who does.

ive been a user of roamresearch since their beta
but for true system of context you gotta have local files, it's so much easier than sending data around
local files ftw
