Here are some hard truths for aspiring startup founders:
• Many young startup founders mistake revenue for product-market fit (PMF). • High revenue growth ≠ PMF when it’s built on subsidies. • If you sell $100 bills for $10, you’ll hit $1B revenue in record time—but it’s not real PMF. • Too often, we celebrated new startup “success”, without looking at business sustainability. • For the last 20 years, grow at all cost is possible because cheap money and low interest rates propped up tech companies.

This is a great manipulative graph. Not just because of the scale.
There are 3 clever tricks in this chart, and it’s almost admirable how well-crafted the illusion is.

Since the virality of OpenClaw educated the market about agent skills, I have seen a lot of LinkedIn posts sharing 5,678 skills covering many things that pre...
The most plausible bad outcome of AI (or AGI) is not the rise of Skynet.
It is humans quietly outsourcing our intelligence to AI and we eventually lose it.
Most people design AI agent systems wrong. They put AI agents inside the security boundary instead of outside. This exposes their system to prompt injection.

Vibe coding without reviewing the code is like riding an autonomous vehicle without safety features.
Sure, it’ll probably get you to the neighborhood shop most of the time, with the occasional bump into a neighbor’s bushes.
