I think alot of companies I trying to figure out where the actual business value is.
Most business spend a lot of money on making processes reliable not probabilistic.
I think most business process probably need something like:
text/image -> classifier -> events -> workflow -> template
-> exception -> human
then text/image -> llm/agent loop -> creative text.
with programming the model used to be
non-coder -> vague AI slop spec -> programmer/questions -> QA -> Prod
now it's:
AI prototype -> execs -> wow -> non-coder -> vague spec -> AI slop Code -> QA/Verify -> missed requirments/lacks business context, etc. -> programmer spends just as much time fixing.
great so more water can get wasted for more expensive per transaction costs.
Resellers/VARs, white-labeling, OEM/embedding, affiliate programs, app marketplaces, industry associations, bundling, revenue-share distribution, design partners, accelerators/incubators, licensing, open-source-to-paid, government contracts, startup competitions/prizes.
I had an idea for one once. you start a company and you take investor money and you keep getting new investors and then you make a bunch of robots and their the last leg on the pyramid Ponzi scheme. oh crap someone already beat me too it.
but aren't amazon contracts pretty one sided?
but the general assumption is your data isn't going to get lost if you use Amazon. so once the trust is gone it's gone.

I wonder if any of there businesses are profitable?
it would be cool to use embeddings to categorize into like 10-20 categories and get a giant pie chart
at least now we can put a price on the cost to harm children.
I feel like this might be a bot account. you posted no submissions, no favorites and your comments have a pattern. they're short, negative and not much variation.
because code is only a small part of software development. don't forget ping pong tables. lol. I'm both making a valid point and making fun of it too.
I thought about something like this I also thought about an affiliate program for it where people got there own link and got paid 50% of the ad sale if someone bought.
Gee, wonder if this will result in a slap on the wrist and lots of cash...
that's the trillion dollar questions though can you teach it the expertise or does learning the expertise take 5,10,20 years to learn and what happens if things change does it do better or worse. how much if it's how fast an expert learns and adapts?
a large % of wealth is a made up number. if everyone runs to the door to sell an asset it becomes close to worthless pretty quickly.
because the economy thrives on surprises
That suggests a better architecture for business processes:
AI interprets.
Rules validate.
Humans approve exceptions or high-risk actions.
Deterministic systems execute and record.
right on the money. although I would say AI could possibly have a few rounds of deliberation before moving to the next step. Think ReAct style or something like that.
a little late to the party right?
good thing the current administration was basically elected to fix it. how's that going?
you might look at this for feature ideas.

tldr; We built an open-source, MIT-licensed PaaS that:
Lets you scale beyond a single server.
Uses API keys for team access, not SSH keys.
Has a simple CLI and web UI without overwhelming configuration.
Includes built-in database management (disco postgres create).
Is funded by optional managed services, so that the code can remain free and open.
Dokku: Great, but locked us to single servers and required managing SSH access for teams.
Coolify: Powerful, but we found the sheer number of configuration options overwhelming.
Kamal: Brilliant for deployment, but we wanted integrated database management and other platform features built-in.
maybe robot.txt should be upgraded with license specifics.
not for commercial use, etc.
so I believe all content is covered under fair use which to me means common crawl has a right to scrape everything and it's the user of common crawl to sort out the details.
VCs now that AI will solve everything don't need too worry about climate change!!?!
Not bad for about $12-$16B in total actual revenue.
net income probably: $1.5B – $3B
P/E:500-1000
Of course people will trip overthemselves to buy it up.
I could see this playing out the that way
at least the 3-card Monty guy is dealing with you one on one. These companies hire lobbyist to make the illegal, immoral sh*t legal. Easy to keep winning the game when you write the rules.
but this is the opposite right? they own the customer relationship. Amazon does the opposite. They control the customer relationship. Can the supplier raise prices possibly but so can they middle man. if they turn over the relationship to the provider then use bad business.
