People that were not alive could not have bought it.

Yeah the auth angle and unobtrusive integration path seems like the real neat thing here. From your customers eyes its just another user account right?

Is that a requirement to integrate it? your app has to essentially have "teams" or at least shared resources?

Not to mention the market is tiny, a few thousand seats at most.

willingness to stand in line for a ticket probably correlates well with fandom

I think its more complicated than that. An artist is pretty constrained by how many shows they can play in a given area which makes the total market for any given show really small and trivially manipulated for profit.

I think tweaking section 230 in the US would have a similar effect. Make corporations liable for posts that they algorithmically amplify. The "discovery" algorithms would become banal overnight without an outright ban.

Oh, I thought the purpose was to to build a "copy this saas" app?

You give the agent a URL it records itself going through UX flows, give that video to a coding agent and you have quite a feature.

interestingly opencode's first product was an IaC platform... seems to be where this is all going.

Why not just share a video of the "bloomberg terminal" clone he prompted in 2 hours?

How big were the lots? How far of a walk was the closest bar, grocery store, cafe? Do you have to walk onto someone's property to talk to them if they are sitting on the porch?

I lived in a car dependent burb for 20+ years and would rarely, if ever, run into my neighbors out on the town. Living in a walkable neighborhood in a medium-low density city for under a year and I regularly run into my neighbors.

This sounds like a stop loss? Are they losing money per token even through the api?

There will be no royalties, simply make all the models that trained on the public internet also be required to be public.

This won't help tailwind in this case, but it'll change the answer to "Should I publish this thing free online?" from "No, because a few AI companies are going to exclusively benefit from it" to "Yes, I want to contribute to the corpus of human knowledge."

> if you train your model on this, your weights and training code must be published.

This feels like the simplest & best single regulation that can be applied in this industry.

Tailwind should have bought shadcn and started pushing a better subscription model. Shadcn & vercel ate tailwind's lunch imo.

Even if he did make the money he claims, he is selling the idea that "you too can make money by exposing all your users private info."
