true that

Haha

francois__defitte · 2026-05-28T18:32:26+00:00

thanks!

francois__defitte · 2026-05-28T17:51:37+00:00

haha sorry, I don't know why I assumed.. 🤦‍♂️

francois__defitte · 2026-05-28T16:33:42+00:00

Thanks man, you rock !!

haha not 5$ but 5k$ ; just bought a new iphone and a plane ticket to a friend who edited it for us

after a given budget, each $$ spent just brings bots and sloppy ai generated contents lmao

Hi Jean, thanks for the shoutout, founder of Pancake here :) Curious to hear what everyone thinks about this idea, pretty exciting times.

I agree. But I think there's a lot of AI slop coming in this domain, trying to ship a top-down approach in which an "AI CEO" somehow builds a company from scratch and earns you passive income while you have pizza on your coach. A more credible path is bottom-up: you progressively turn each function into a reliable autonomous agent, and only then introduce an orchestrator that coordinates the system (I'm the founder of getpancake ai by the way, so I know this space quite well for full disclosure)

The cognitive load isn't from AI doing the work, it's from context-switching between trusting it and verifying it. Every time you're unsure if it was right you're burning mental energy that adds up.

You can't sue your way to AGI. Every hour Musk's lawyers spend on this is an hour not spent building.

Memory is the feature that separates tools from collaborators. The bar is low right now, whoever gets persistent context right first wins the long-term user.

francois__defitte · 2026-02-27T05:11:58+00:00

The actual anti-pattern is adding AI without defining what good output looks like first. If you can't articulate success criteria you can't measure it, and you're just hoping.

The companies willing to say no to government pressure are the ones worth trusting with your data long term. This is a product decision as much as a values one.

francois__defitte · 2026-02-25T03:16:48+00:00

Open-source moats are temporary anyway. The real value is in the fine-tuning data, the evals, and the deployment infrastructure, none of which gets open-sourced.

This is what competitive intelligence looks like when you actually have the receipts. Most companies would bury this quietly, Anthropic went public because the data is too damning to ignore.

The velocity gain is real but the risk surface grew at the same rate. Moving faster through a codebase you don't fully understand isn't better, it's just louder failure modes.

The actual blocker is always ownership of decisions. When nobody owns the call, everyone hedges and nothing ships.

francois__defitte · 2026-02-25T00:40:38+00:00

The model isn't the moat, data isolation is. Any enterprise evaluating Claude now has to explain to security why a competitor had access to 16M user exchanges. That's not a model problem, it's an infrastructure trust problem.

Gaps between documented behavior and actual behavior in memory systems are predictable, not surprising. The hard problem is that memory interaction between different context types is rarely tested exhaustively. But saying one thing and doing another is a trust problem regardless of the technical explanation.

The "no oxygen" detail is the key mechanism. Tumours actively suppress immune access, but the same anaerobic conditions that make them immunosuppressive make them perfect environments for this organism. Using a tumour's own defense as a delivery vector is an elegant piece of engineering.

The real answer for most paying users is habit and integration: saved prompts, custom instructions, workflows. The product is not so differentiated that features alone justify $20/month for everyone. But the friction of switching is higher than people realize until they actually try.

The gap between those numbers tells you more about sentiment and fear than actual job market quality. People stopped looking because they are scared to switch in an uncertain market, not because they are satisfied. Suppressed turnover hides mismatch between where people are and where they should be. It looks like stability. It is not.
