I use AI a lot for work, pretty much all day every day. I use coding assistants and custom agents I’ve built. I use AI to help code review changes, dig into bugs, and keep track of my projects. I’ve found lots of things it’s very helpful with, and lots of things it’s terrible at. If there’s one thing I have definitely learned: it does not work the way I imagined.
That story about an AI startup collapsing after it turned out to be 700 Indian developers in a Trenchcoat? It was a made up story by a crypto guy that became clickbait, published unchecked by tech media everywhere. Read the real story behind Builder.ai here: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/builder-ai-did-not-fake-ai/

The claim that the AI startup “faked AI” with hundreds of engineers went viral – and I also fell for it, initially. The reality is much more sobering: Builder.ai built a code generator on top of Claude and other LLMs; it did not build a so-called “Mechanical Turk.”
When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

“Thanks to the Dipsea’s byzantine and ever-shifting handicapping rules, a grade schooler can beat a competitive athlete in their prime. Unlike most races […], the Dipsea assigns groups to launch from the […] starting line at one-minute intervals in reverse order of assumed speed. A 7-year-old girl or a 74-year-old man gets a 25-minute head start. Men ages 20 to 25 are “scratch” runners, who would have to pass most of the race’s 1,500 competitors to win.”

Surprise. All the US military UFO stuff turns out to be deliberate misinformation to cover up advanced military projects, or shitty Air Force hazing rituals
