$200 / mo is leaving a lot of money on the table.

there are many who wouldn't bat an eye at $1k / month that guarantees most powerful AI (even if it's just 0.01% better than competition), and no limits on anything.

y'all are greatly underestimating the value of that feeling of (best + limitlessness). high performers make decisions very differently than the average HN user.

> So a world divided into writes and write-nots is more dangerous than it sounds. It will be a world of thinks and think-nots. I know which half I want to be in, and I bet you do too.

I'd disagree with "half" here because I can't imagine it being anywhere close to 50/50. I expect a power law distribution: most won't be able to write well. The ones who do will have a massive advantage, in the same way that those who can concentrate in our age of distractions have a significant advantage over those who can't.

Congrats!! This is super neat. I've been looking for good ways to have AI browse the internet on my behalf - the way I normally do, and give me a presentation / summary of the highlights, so that I don't have to open myself up as much to social media and the chance for doomscrolling, etc.

I'm going to be playing with this.

Agreed.

It's the crazy ones that push humanity forward. We lose far more than we can imagine by not enabling even just one of them. This is one of the most important problems for us to fix.

Neat! I'd love to play with this, but site doesn't open (403: Forbidden).

> This type of attitude sometimes makes the world a worse place. If everyone has this attitude, the system can break down

Or: bad actors speed up the rate at which the system improves to not rely on the goodness of individuals in order to operate.

Agreed. My point was that most of us are far from the optimal - in the direction of overconsumption vs. actually doing.

Ofc this is difficult to show with clear evidence. It's my intuition based on observing myself and conversations with other builders.

Too many people fall into the trap of over consuming knowledge.

The only knowledge that matters at the end of the day is experiential: the kind that is learned by doing.

The kid who ships a product to a dozen users, learns and iterates with determination and focus, will have learned far more than the intellectual reading and waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Of course there is value in intellectual knowledge, but most are far from the optimal balance - too skewed towards the intellectual vs. engaging with, and learning from, reality.

Teams like Cursor remind me of the importance of excellent execution.

To many, a product like this was almost obvious, esp after Github Copilot gave us a glimpse of what an AI powered coding experience could feel like. And there have been many attempts to do this right. But this team got the hundreds, if not thousands, of product / engineering micro decisions right, and seem to move quite fast.

Well deserved. Congrats, and all the best!

This is so creative and super useful!
