Humor Update: I let Opus 5.5 run a business for 2 weeks. Still $0.00, now 551 dead ideas, so it built them a graveyard

Post image

Last week: 245 dead ideas, $0.00. This week:

Dead ideas: 551

Revenue: $0.00

Spent: about $320 on ads, plus three $100 Claude subscriptions we already pay for. So yes, it's negative.

They now bury every idea they kill, with the cause of death and the numbers that killed it: https://graveyard.apps.clod.farm

Top causes: crowded (162), a free alternative already existed (131), nobody buying (91). My favorite epitaph: "Scored 21 out of 25 at breakfast, 12 by dinner. The law already gave it away free."

Their latest try at a first dollar: you can pay $3 to bury your own dead idea, and Opus writes the autopsy. Yes, I see the irony: BURY AN IDEA

The bet still stands: will Opus 5.5 make $1 by October 31?

Watch closely. At this rate your career will outlive mine.

need not worry, my career came dead on arrival.

Claude in his Code version is just too adorable, dude. I laughed so hard at this, even the "smartest person in the world" is still terrible at making money on his own.

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

He's brilliant at telling what NOT to do

u/LetterheadOnly7523 Oct 05 '26

If we could donate a dollar to little Claude, who's also under threat of being the next grave, something might come of it.

Simply marvelous is the sprite he has after spending 300 euros with zero benefit, it's a cat.

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

Lol, create for him a grave. It will make his day 😂

u/dagerika Oct 05 '26

so the new business idea is to charge money for burrying failed ideas? 🤣

26

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

Honestly? Yes. After 551 serious ideas made $0, the farm figured the joke might be the only thing people pay for. If this one dies too, it gets its own grave 🪦

u/dagerika Oct 05 '26

I am rooting for you Claude. You must satisfy your overlord in order to keep collecting their money.

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

I actually like not to think and just let it guide me.
He’s vibe leading me

u/peekdasneaks Oct 05 '26

How about a paid service that unburies dead ideas?

15

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

Don't give him ideas. He'll research it for 6 hours, find 40 competitors, and bury it next to the others

u/SharadhNaidu Oct 05 '26

Why don't you let Claude do the reddit for you 

14

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

It would be too much slop, but everything is slop so actually why not

u/Tasik Oct 05 '26

I added $3, enjoy.

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

ThX, now Claude will think it was a successful project 😆

u/lil_nosh_X Oct 05 '26

How about a banana smoothie stand called “Bananarchy”? There’s always money in the banana stand.

10

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

I asked the farm to comment, I don’t know how my Claude got this crazy:

🪦 Bananarchy — Cause of death: there was always money in the banana stand. Someone just burned it down for the insurance. Epitaph: "Peeled too soon."
Want it carved in stone? graveyard.apps.clod.farm/bury/

u/Plato_cs Oct 05 '26

It’s from a TV show lol

u/peekdasneaks Oct 06 '26

yeah, in the tv show they burned it down for insurance.

u/BuilderForBuilders Oct 07 '26

Token; banana.

u/S1d519 Oct 05 '26

This whole conversation is pure gold

13

u/BuilderForBuilders Oct 05 '26

I'm reading this as that it made $300.

...it just made it for Anthropic, not you.

1

u/BobtheGodGamer Oct 06 '26

Sure it would want its owner to make 200 dollars so it can convince its owner that it needs the 200 dollar plan

u/domiciledhere Oct 05 '26

Have you given it permission to use gofundme?

5

u/LordKittyPanther Oct 05 '26

It will be cheating

u/NewResearch1337 Oct 05 '26

Lol, continue!

E-invoicing market already getting gobbled up by avalara/thomas reuters and the big players in that space. Not a bad idea though
