Sure but a SaaS vendor already handle security for their own products which are typically dynamic website apps. I agree security is a concern for clients doing it themselves.

What relevance will WP have now that AI can build websites? I see more and more vertical SaaS vendors bundling website migration/building/hosting in their offering. I suspect they may steel away many customers from WP, Wix and com

I find myself more and more reaserching/brainstorming/shopping for DIY electronic projects with/on ChatGPT instead of googling. Wonder how ads will impact that experience.

Recently, I've been so eager to get new model releases in Codex. I'm hooked. I hope this accelerates development. Shows how dependant I have become to Codex.

I run a SaaS that allows for court bookings. A tennis club has exactly this scenario: club offers 1h, 1.5h and 2h bookings, but 30m start. Since it is a private club and requires a membership, gaming the system is not a real issue. However,

I'm so happy to have fallen on this. Apple Music launching on my Mac when I put on my AirPods drives me crazy.

In my last jobs Jira was used, and despised by all except product managers. It just becomes a mess. In my startup (now 20 people), we use Trello. Outsiders look at us funny. I respond that its the same company after all...

In Codex I was suggested to try Codex Spark for a limited time. So for my next session, I gave it a shot. It is much, much faster. However on the task I gave it, it spun around in circles cycling through files and finally abandoned saying i

They exist to protect the creator/inventor and allows them to get an ROI on their invested time/effort. But honestly today, the abundance of content, especially that can be generated by LLM, completely breaks this. We're over

Most analysts seem to forget what actual consumers do. Normal people use ChatGPT. They accidentally use Gemini when they Google something. But I don’t know anyone non-technical who has ditched ChatGPT as their default LLM. For 99% of questi

Our support team shares a Gmail inbox. Gemini was not able to write proper responses, as the author exemplified. We therefore connected Serif, which automatically writes drafts. You don't need to ask - open Gmail and drafts are there.

I often write in Frenglish (French and English). Apple auto-complete gets so confused and is utterly useless. ChatGPT can easily switch from one language to another. I wish the auto-complete had ChatGPT's power.

This moment has finally arrived. Been expecting it. Will this translate in a massive decrease in capex expenditure and the demise of NVIDIA? Will this deflate the AI bubble we are living in?

You can always refactor. Sure it takes time and effort but it is possible. And it serves as a good painful experience to invest more on design first, to your point :)

The fundamental question is how to monetize AI? I see 2 paths: - Consumers - the Google way: search and advertise to consumers - Businesses - the AWS way: attrack businesses to use your API and lock them in The first is fickle. Will OpenAI

Your thread is 9 months old. Do you have a product and a bit of traction? I was in a similar place to you back in 2019. Via side gigs I built a product that served a niche. Eventually, raised 180k with TinySeed (specialized in boostrapping
