When Copernicus proposed heliocentrism in 1543, it was actually less accurate than Ptolemy's geocentric model - a system refined over 1,400 years with epicycles precisely tuned to match observed planetary positions. It took another 70 years before Kepler, working from Tycho Brahe's unprecedentedly precise observations, replaced Copernicus’s circles with ellipses - finally making heliocentrism empirically superior. Terence Tao's point is that science needs a high temperature setting. If we only fund and follow what's most state of the art today, we kill the ideas that might need decades of work to surpass some overall plateau.

We just launched @marketrix_ai User Testing Agent on @ProductHunt! Most QA tools test what you tell them to test. But real users don't follow scripts. Marketrix flips this. Our AI agents explore your product the way real users do, uncovering bugs, edge cases, and UX gaps automatically. No scripts. No manual test cases. Just autonomous QA that actually thinks like your customers. We built this because after years of watching teams burn cycles writing and maintaining test scripts, we knew there had to be a better way. Instead of telling the tool what to test, you let the AI figure it out, just like a real user would. Here's what makes it different: - No scripts required - Works across staging and production - Generates test cases automatically - AI agents explore real user journeys - Continuous validation before release We're live on Product Hunt today and would love your support. If this resonates with you, head over and give us an upvote and drop a comment. Your support truly means the world to us as a small team building something we believe in.

We built @marketrix_ai to make software self supporting. Self resolving support. Self operating QA. Self updating docs. Self driven walkthroughs. @yasithdev and I demo it tomorrow, Feb 13 at 4PM, at the Artifact Festival by @fdotinc at Fort Mason.

Today, we’re officially rolling out our Marketrix AI freemium release, and we're excited to share this end to end walkthrough of what we’ve been building. Software should support itself. We’re getting closer. 👉 Try Marketrix for free: marketrix.ai #Marketrix #AI

Just had Office Hours with @hthieblot (@fdotinc) and my brain is still processing how sharp this session was. 3 takeaways I’m carrying into the week 1. Ship one thing, every week Hubert’s point was simple: onboarding can’t rescue a product that doesn’t create real value. If the default experience is weak, retention will be weak. The only way out is to keep shipping, measure what sticks, and be willing to kill what doesn’t. 2. Clarity beats “smart words” every time One founder explained “egocentric multimodal data” and Hubert paused the room and asked someone to repeat it back. Most couldn’t. The lesson: if people can’t picture it instantly, you lose them. Make it visual, make it concrete, make it repeatable. 3. Marketplaces and GTM are hand to hand combat There were multiple marketplace problems in the room and the theme was consistent: cold start is brutal. Liquidity is the whole game. Early on, you often have to do unscalable things, create the initial supply yourself, and earn demand one door at a time. Hubert even dropped a great reference: The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen. A personal punch in the gut (in a good way) When we shared what we’re building at @marketrix_ai, Hubert called out something we’ve felt but hadn’t solved cleanly yet: if it takes 2 to 3 minutes to explain, we won’t win on X, email, or a landing page. We need a crisp “what it does” + “who it’s for” in two sentences, then pick one wedge (Support vs QA) to validate fast. Leaving today with a clear sprint goal: shorten the story, pick a wedge, ship, learn, repeat. Big thanks @hthieblot for the brutal clarity, and to everyone who shared in the room. I love how direct this program is. #FoundersInc #Artifact #Startups #GTM #Product #Marketplaces #AI

Day 1 at Artifact at @fdotinc (Fort Mason, San Francisco) and I already get why people call this an inflection point. Huge thanks to @FurqanR, @hthieblot, @adriannalakatos, @shafaq and @super8n from Founders, Inc. for the incredible sessions and sharp guidance. #FoundersInc

Much like the switch in 2025 from language models to reasoning models, we think 2026 will be all about the switch to Recursive Language Models (RLMs). It turns out that models can be far more powerful if you allow them to treat *their own prompts* as an object in an external environment, which they understand and manipulate by writing code that invokes LLMs! Our full paper on RLMs is now available—with much more expansive experiments compared to our initial blogpost from October 2025! arxiv.org/pdf/2512.24601
