what a loser this man is. probably his business is struggling, like many old-school businesses that refuse to evolve. instead of figuring out how to grow, he is publicly abusing someone.
people have been copying, borrowing from, and building upon each other’s work on the internet forever. with AI agents, it has only become easier. sometimes agents pick things up themselves.
i once had almost every feature of my startup copied by a competitor. my livelihood literally depended on that business. but even then, i took it as part of the game. that’s what you sign up for when you build something on the internet.
what makes this behaviour even more ridiculous is that most AI agents, and so many products being built and funded today, are themselves built upon open-source work or existing ideas.
and the slurs and abuse he has thrown at you are so completely uncalled for. a polite request to take the work down would have been far more reasonable and respectful. instead, he chose public humiliation, insults and abuse. it only shows the desperation and class of such people.
and somehow, this behaviour always manages to bring all the racists together, giving them another excuse to pile on.
the irony is incredible.
i think this is the beginning of the end for people who built businesses assuming they could sit on them forever and keep extracting value without evolving.
nothing is guaranteed to sustain anymore. not your product, not your business model, not even your competitive advantage.
you can either learn, adapt and grow, or spend your time publicly sulking about a world that has already moved on.
You can't spend your time spewing racist bullshit, hiding behind your own misery and helplessness, and then play the victim when people call you out.
And the moment things got heated, you started deleting your posts like none of it ever happened.
I built an open-source experiment so people could see how it worked learn from it and build on it. my posts and repo are still public. I’m here answering for what I actually did!!
You can disagree with the project. but dragging my company (even my colleagues) into a personal project makes no sense.What exactly does my employer have to do with this?
And the threats and racist comments about Indians that followed? What part of that is criticism of my work? (If you think these are just the comments, no. Michael himself was also racist. I'll attach the screenshot below)
If making something open source makes me a thief, then I’m robin hood and claude is my partner in crime, I guess :)
But seriously if you think I copied something, show exactly what I used as a reference. Even though I removed Lexington’s templates, you might want to refer to the forks. Making a repo public doesn’t automatically make everything in it fair game, but calling me a thief doesn’t prove your case either
When I realized I’d made a mistake by including their proprietary media, I removed it. I still own that mistake
And I still stand by my point AI is changing how software gets built. If your entire livelihood depends on selling generic UI templates that's going to be a difficult business to sustain in the coming years. that doesn't give anyone the right to copy your work but it doesn't mean we should pretend the industry isn't changing either
I’m happy to discuss the actual work. My nationality and workplace have nothing to do with that discussion

I'll be about 6 months of me working on AI evals (it's fun)
On the side, I kept running small experiments to answer one question: can we trust how we measure AI?
Most of them ended with me finding a flaw in my own measurement first. Here's what each one taught me 🧵
Update on the harness I was building :
Added Laya for context pruning.
Cut input tokens by ~93% without dropping a single piece of critical context.
Building in public. More cooking.
Let your agent do your work in background and you keep yourself occupied by playing BOXCTL
Just run: npm i boxctl
