Agreed. I think we're seeing so much of it, especially company launches, because everyone knows they need to urgently try and get in before the bubble pops. Look at all the Lauch HNs there have been in the past bit.

If you've got a startup that does logistics or something, you can probably fundraise whenever, subject to macroeconomics. If you made am NFT wallet or a chat GPT-powered dog sharing app, you had / have a tiny window to try and snag some dumb VC money before it's chasing the next thing.

Not the same though; AI is helping me while crypto never did. The stable diffusion stuff is really great for prototyping things at a bizarre speed. Instead of drawing vague things (I am terrible at it), I can now send the pro designers quite accurate depictions of what we want, without the iterations and terrible ‘not that colour blue’ meetings. That was hard and a terrible waste of time before. Don’t mind paying for that at all.

And (chat)gpt and the apis help us replace humans we never wanted to hire in the first place, but we had no choice because writing software to replace them was not in the budget (enterprise companies…); now it’s so cheap that it is in the budget, like coffee is.

Some tools are worthwhile, most are not; how is that different than other software dev? I would just not put the letters gpt in it and just make it do something people value and will pay for.

Gpt has to be in there because the ‘products’ are generally crap and jittery and slow, so to ask money and get away with it, gpt is a ‘pre-alpha quality’ sticker somehow.
