Meanwhile big firms are fighting for AI/ML phds for hundreds of thousands dollars.

Fascinating, we’ve got sentient clouds before sentient AI

Born in 89, I always feel nostalgic seeing screenshots of Windows 95. It brings back a time of novelty, exploration, and freedom. And what a ride it's been.

It's a bit of a shame it went that deep. What started as a fun new technology seems to have turned into a vortex that just absorbed everything (attention spans, social skills, overall IQ) and everyone (we're now more alone and isolated behind screens), save for the few who were smart enough to protect themselves.

I wonder how things would've turned out if internet had stayed a place for fun, exploration, and freedom.

Wait do you reckon that could be fictive? The thought didn't cross my mind and I had a blast reading it. I sure hope it was real.

this is such a wall of shame haha

You're not wrong, but at least it's not idle. And I can use it for something else if the need arises.

Yea I have to try it and see. When Claude released Remote Control I hoped on right away and it was crap, it kept disconnecting. Tailscale + SSH was much better.

I bought a Mac mini m4 before openclaw to use as a music production machine, when it turned out not to work out I tried setting up openclaw on it after hearing all the noise, but that turned out not to work out either.

I’ve found a much better use for it now. I use it as a Tailscale + ssh + tmux + Claude code machine, which gives me an always on Claude code environment with persistent sessions. I ssh from my phone using termius and from my laptop through ssh, and I can even access my projects through Tailscale with hot reloading for the most part, no deploy needed. It’s really good and my mini isn’t idle at all.

This game is getting so hard. Everyone can now spam build like Pieter Levels and Marc Lou did years ago, so solo bootstrapping’s got way harder it feels.

I’ve taken a break from building to try to find an audience, a real problem, and real users before building anything anymore.

You got really specific to help prove your point. We were generalising to projects built by AI, not web apps that don’t run, which isn’t relevant since LLMs can clearly build fully working projects.

Also how does getting into the specifics of which type of AI can solve mathematical problems helps the comparison here?

Would you dismiss solutions to mathematical problems solved by AI?

If I’m driving an AI towards finding a solution, would it be any different for a software project?

How long has it been? It can’t not be hard at first. But if you try hard enough you’ll learn to be comfortable with yourself and be alone. Finding hobbies does help for sure, particularly those that involve people.

You could try yoga too, starting from scratch is a great place to begin. It’s a great tool to learn to see yourself objectively and be able to let external things affect you less. (I’ve been practicing for 10ish years and teaching for 5ish) Also yoga communities are usually great because it’s mostly people trying to actively improve themselves. But do go for the dynamic style if you try it, because it builds the mind but also the body. So even if you don’t get into the spiritual stuff, you always get a good workout.

Best of luck. Hope you can find the strength to embrace the pain and not flee or hide from it, because it truly makes us stronger.

I find non-constructive feedback more tiring. People just dismiss things as soon as it has the faintest trace of AI without judging them for what they actually are.

Not saying the AI slop noise isn’t annoying though.
