author here! I absolutely enjoyed interviewing Joscha Bach who was graceful enough to give 30mins of his time with zero prep and no idea who I was. I also am in a unique position to report on the rise of both WorldSim and WebSim as I literally saw them both happen up close. questions welcome!

if you enjoy behind the scenes, i live streamed the making of the video, audio, and essay last night with a few people on twitter/youtube https://x.com/swyx/status/1784110650777854148

comments and tough love welcome!

A quick comment: The idea seems interesting/entertaining, but the requirement to login with a Google account will make some people (like me) simply not even try it.

Login with google was just the quickest thing we could do to get auth, we'll roll out more ways to sign in soon. Thanks for the feedback!
