Steve Troughton-SmithI'm pretty convinced now that in the near future you'll be able to deploy an entire 'company in a box' of AI agents, with the equivalent to domain experts in programming, design, sound design and music, marketing, and more, that will feasibly compete with the average startup. The OpenClaw cultists^Wfans will tell you they're already doing this, today, on Mac minis. If you think this is hyperbole or kool-aid pyramid-scheme nonsense, I suspect you're not even remotely prepared for what's to come
Taylor Hadden@stroughtonsmith Perhaps. This begs the question: what is the average startup doing? Most fail. Most don't produce anything of appreciable value.
The idea of this being commodified can sound dire, but it also might be a good thing. How many good ideas are never explored because the originator of the thought lacks the capital—monetary, human or otherwise—to take action on that idea? Reducing the cost of shots-on-goal seems like a good thing.
