Jitbit condemns this war. I'm from Russia originally and I'm ashamed of my passport right now. Forgive us Ukraine 🇺🇦 💙💛
Hot take:
A lot of SaaS products will go freemium - or even completely free - and monetize by selling data to AI labs.
This isn't just a prediction, data brokers are actively approaching companies.
Young people actively hate AI.
My two younger daughters are 19 and 18, both at universities - one in the UK the other in Italy. Through them, I happen to know quite a few kids their age.
And ALL OF THEM seem to universally hate AI.
To them it's "something old people invented that we now have to deal with... as if climate change wasnt enough"
AI is cringe. When they introduce me to their friends, they literally say "heyya, meet my dad, he's a software engineer but nonono, NOT IN AI, dont worry, hahah".
They hate it for flooding their social feeds with slop, ruining music, taking phone scams to the next level, also destroying careers & devaluing their hobbies - why become an architect, this skill is about to become worthless? Why learn a musical instrument if session musicians are already obsolete?
The outcome is interesting, though - they're spending less and less time on public social, meeting up IRL, moving their online lives into private group chats with actual verified friends. TikTok and Reels are increasingly cringe-something for old dudes.
Which, I guess, might be a net positive after all...
3 months ago I reported a bug at Codex github repo (models not showing up in Codex extensions in Cursor, Windsurf, AntiGravity etc.)
The cause is known.
Still hasn't been fixed.
3 months!
AI solved coding. But coding was never the problem. Even frontier labs are slow AF.
The moment AI gets good at something - video, marketing, copywriting etc - that thing becomes worthless.
And it's so cute how founders say "but I'll fine-tune it for my product and my clients"
Yeah right
"Banner blindness won't affect me I'll just make BETTER BANNERS"
This is a cool, smart and very sad blog post on AI and the future it paints.

Anthropic filing for IPO, aiming at 2Tval at 4B revenue -42B net loss… is nuts.
Was the whole “pace the frontier” stunt just a “slow down we’re running out of money”?
Me: “I’m just here for some nice music”
YouTube recommendations: “yeah -yeah, who are you trying to fool…”
😀😀😂😂
Switch to Opus 5.5 and use it for everything before they nerf it again.
Best model r/n (for everything)
