> The bubble can't pop soon enough.

I'm getting months of work done in weekends.

There is no bubble.

The entire development world is being fundamentally rewired and will not ever look the same. This is just one experiment at a new shape. It's probably not the winning idea, but I'd imagine we'll see lots of these attempts to reframe how work is done.

This looks to me to be more oriented around agents and training than it says on the tin. It puts all the artifacts for learning about how projects are built, orchestrated, and managed in one place. That's a great data loop. Hook in observability, monitoring and alerting, incident management and SRE and they'll be cooking.

Cool. Windows was made in 7.5 years. Since you can do one month per 2 days it should take you less than 6 months to make something equivalent to Windows and make as much money. How long have you been doing it??

I've built two multi-million dollar businesses this year. I have no interest in building Windows. Right now I'm building some very cool business functions similar to companies with way more funding yet lackluster product offerings.

I have no doubt someone out there somewhere will follow up on exactly what you've suggested.

Elaborate? Legitimately curious

Assuming Guyanese dollars, you can claim a multi-million dollar business when your business hits 9,615 USD valuation.

Might be related to https://github.com/storytold/artcraft, they posted it a while ago. I can imagine there's demand for quick storyboarding in the filmmaking / content creation world.

That said, turning a tool into a profitable business is another story entirely; if one person can turn an idea into working software with the help of AI, dozens more can too. So I'm also curious, not just from idea to software, but from software to business and millions of income.

People have gone down this road of selling niche tools many times in the past in film making. There are a lot of pitfalls.

For starters not many people need story boarding.

When someone is actually doing a project that is big enough to need story boarding, they are going to have some infrastructure and making a wrapper around prompting image generation is not going to be far fetched.

The narrow window of productions that are doing story boarding but think they need a tool to wrap image generation and have no one to script some tools themselves is pretty small.

Mind sharing details? That would actually be a really huge news if that’s true

Shocking, it appears they never substantiated their own hype that the AI hype was substantiated.

You literally sell AI products lol, of course for you "there is no bubble" because if there is one, its very bad for you. You should disclose your position so your comments make sense.

"There is a bubble" and "LLMs aren't useful" are two separate claims. You're contradicting the latter. The former can still be true even if the latter is false.

Rail roads were definitely useful when the British rail road bubble happened. Same with the dotcom. A bubble is generally based on something genuine, but the enthusiasm doesn’t match reality, which is what we are seeing with AI. Companies valuations make absolutely no economical sense, and most use of AI doesn’t have a positive ROI. That’s the bubble. Doesn’t say anything about how useful the technology is to you

AI psychosis is real mate, maybe take one of those weekends, go for a walk, no screens, maybe see some trees.
