it's a great reminder that Uber wasn't a 2-sided marketplace to begin with, just an on-demand black car service, and Travis drove early on. The marketplace model came later, copying Lyft, more as a low-cost expansion strategy than a business model.
You can let the LLM create slop for you, sure. But only amateurs are using it for that. You’ll be much happier if you treat it as a tool and use it like any other, a force multiplier to take your ideas and creations and pushes them further along faster.
If you treat it like a black box used to outsource your own thinking, you are holding it wrong.
It’s honestly been my experience. I think I’ve vibe coded one thing that I’ve found to be genuinely useful to me, everything else has ended up as useless slop given time.
I think we probably need less software, but higher quality, not more. Unfortunately AI only goes in one direction…
Considering:
- Anthropic decides how much a token is worth.
- Users have no visibility or ability to control in how many tokens a given response will burn.
