Ask HN: If AI didn't exist, what would you be building today?
Feels like every idea now has “AI” stapled onto it.
Curious what people would focus on if that wasn’t an option, what problems would actually be worth solving?

- giardini 3mo agoI did that once! It was a rare opportunity caused by a system whose database was (predictably) corrupted by six months of programming errors. Took 3 days to examine the problem and code the fix and 36 minutes of tense run-time to fix the entire database (followed by 3 days of checking done by the DBA independently). What a rush - can't say I miss it though!
- mikewarot 3mo agoI still want to build a bitgrid, and see if I can democratize petaflops. Other things I'd like to build/have include an actual Memex that can ingest HTML, and actually use it to mark up hypertext, logging everything for at least a month before discarding the stuff I don't reference again from the cache.
