When you get big enough, the govt is always going to want to get involved.

We've seen how social media sites have always been in contention with govs regarding free speech even tho theyre fundamentally a way for other people to socialize with one another


I seriously feel like there's easier ways for OpenAI to catch up to anthropic and it would be a waste of political capital that the idea of Sam pulling strings for this to happen seems highly unlikely

Whether it's G&T programs or THE school, I feel a majority of parents have a weird obsession with their child's early education like elementary and middle school

I found prompt injection is a little too obvious when I tested with Claude and Chatgpt, but I totally see candidates embellishing facts to pass the machine resume screening in order to get to a human.

i.e. I didn't 'made 200k worth of sales at company' rather 'I made 2 Million ARR worth of sales'


It is the phones fault and it affects more than kids. You see too many parents and grandparents buried on the phones. At least with boomers the tech adoption isnt as high

We should recognize its not a generational issue but something that affects us all-young and old


> It is the phones fault and it affects more than kids.

It is the business model. There is an incentive to make games addictive. Like arcade games the goal is to keep kids as much time on the machine as possible. But now the arcade is in your pocket 24/7.

Even worse, there is an incentive even to just open the app as it is an opportunity to show you an Ad. Notifications, and periodical rewards make sure that there is a constant need to interact with the phone.

Unregulated markets will always end up in scams and addiction. Because both are the fastest and more reliable way of getting money.


> There is an incentive to make games addictive.

It's not just games though, it's pretty much every digital service now.

Virtually every website has infinite scrolling and algorithms that tailor the feed directly to what "appeals" to the user now. It's all just drip-feeding dopamine to the user base so they stay engaged for the longest possible time.


Yes. The hardest part about telling my kid to get off his device is setting a good example by getting off mine.

Its either end of the spectrum-you do the best job(top 10%) or your everyone else.

If you only do middle of the pack(for one reason or another-cost, talent, etc) you become incentivized to cause problems then fix it.

Thus a net negative to society

*Also recommend sonic-their pricing and service is top tier


Tbf when you dont care about ui-as most backend devs do- Claude creating UI is perfect

Imo UI is bifurcated. Its either not impressive(most websites) or there was immense effort put into it(like posthogs site).

So for a small project where im focusing on shipping speed and feature building, yeah tailwin is being used because I dont want to do motion design rn


Bingo! People mustve forgotten about the bootstrap era

Well there you go. If you want to differentiate yourself today, just use bootstrap!

My trick, I just use bootstrap, ask Claude for a custom Styles following a style, palete etc. Much better experience than buying and adapting and existing bootstrap theme

Good PMs really carry teams, clearing politics and bureaucracy on your behalf. It's just that these people aren't the majority of the populace

Is it the same in movies? I wonder if the dogs motif is across different media format
