@JayHoovy John, normally I like all the stuff you put out. But this is a horrible take. You yourself took funding, are you saying that wasn't worth it?
YC gives you $500k to get your idea started + instant network & connections.
PS. Your site's not even live.
I think the point is right now it can’t, but in the near future. There are already apps that let AI agents hire human workers for example. Robotics is the next frontier for AI, that gives AI a physical entrance to the world for doing real world tasks as well.
We have safeguards of course, but the OpenAi huggingface hack showed safeguards aren’t safe enough.
Couple scenarios that come to mind.
- autonomous weapons - military has to race with other countries because other countries now have robot killing machines and drones, we’re forced to make our own to compete and super intelligent AI figures out a backdoor and hacks them, all kills us all
- bio weapon - think covid-19 that has a much higher death rate + higher incubation period. America might have safeguards but what about overseas labs or terrorist orgs?
- even cybercab - it becomes the defacto method of transport, cars are all autonomous, they all crash at once killing millions
The bigger threat, if AI is 100x smarter than us, you can’t even comprehend what it could possibly do. Right now you’re having trouble thinking about doomsday scenarios, AI will have 1m+ methods it can execute.
The list goes on
@DannyLimanseta Robots become ubiquitous in our home, they all get hacked, they kill us.
Same thing with autonomous vehicles. Same thing with autonomous weapons.
What’s so hard to understand?
Call me a hater idc.
But all of marc's products are a hype and cheap attention seeking tactics no one outside indie hacker bubble uses any of his shit.
He has not built even a single real "business" all this time that can keep up if he stops posting.
Yeah you can make money doing this, but you can make 1000x more money selling drugs, doesn't mean it should be done.
@vansh22b And? You can say that about any content creator. Doesn’t mean its not a business. Every Youtuber, podcaster, media company. Same thing. Attention is a business.

@Artlist_io@DJMaculate What kind of horrible excuse is this? The demand for Seedance 2.5 broke your limits? You guys are the ones who created the demand by offering it unlimited 😅
@mynameisyahia@ycombinator We use Tavily + Firecrawl for https://t.co/8xmzUmZGgj - does your app replace both? Tavily for web search for our agents, firecrawl to scrape websites for data and comparison
