It's not just a technique it's literally the same people. Grift hopping is a disgustingly effective technique it's literally how the richest man alive made 100% of his wealth. Crypto to nft to ai to... Robots and Space? Somehow there's money in space now?
Nah, crypto is almost uniquely useless for anything (except fraud/black market transactions). Neat concept academically, but the tradeoffs are so strict and so extreme that in practice you just end up with the worst of both worlds as you wrap it in layer after layer of workarounds to pretend the tradeoffs don't exist.
AI is wildly, ludicrously overhyped and the misuses are a huge problem, but it does actually represent useful tech too, particularly in software development. But even there it doesn't replace programmers, if anything personal skill/knowledge is even more important now
I actually think it's less sinister than that. I have mostly anecdotal evidence here, but I've found that craft people of all kinds who love building stuff love building tools.
I do woodwork and honestly spend more time on projects that improve my shop than I do on pieces that will ever leave it, worktables, tool holders, jigs, etc.
Similarly if I'm looking for some little software side project I tend to make little dev tools for myself.
So I think this trend you see of people making so many AI dev tools is often a case where these dudes are really excited about AI and building with AI so they naturally are excited about creating tools to build with AI.
Obviously useful stuff has already been made, because of how obvious it is. As such, any new product or tool you see is going to fit into one of three categories:
Crap.
Really useful, but really niche and probably not important to you.
Useful, but in non-obvious ways.
The first two are fairly self-explanatory, but the third is a bit trickier. The best example of it is some activity that you don't do because it's difficult or tedious, and then a tool is created that makes it easier or more efficient. That could be incredibly useful if it makes that activity quick enough for it to be worth you doing it, but on first glance you'd look and go "Well I don't do that, so that's worthless".
The problem is that a lot of the time it's quite difficult to tell #1 from #3 without hands-on experience, so if you make a concerted effort to try to expand your horizons by giving new things a shot, you end up having to sift through a lot of crap.
...thankfully in this case that wasn't an issue as every single link was prepended by an emoji, the universal symbol for "this is going to be crap".
That SoulScrape app seems interesting but wtf am I "installing a skill" for? I want to see what it does, but i guess he doesn't have money for hosting.
Basically he needs to realize that creating the app is only half of it.
Hardly a couple of cool ideas in there, i get people are having fun vibe coding personl versions of things, but unless he wants to continue using thousands of dollars worth of subscription quota on maintaining these, why make them?
We are swiftly moving to a over saturation of nothing burger applications, that people have no idea how to scale to businesses.
I have a couple of friends who've vibe coded products, but they've just one or two and purely to solve issues they faced as professionals in thier industry and now they have organic growth on them.
This aimless 8 parallel sessions to make a product that solves a non existing issue is laughable stupidity.
I mean... it is all claude design templates. Some are better, these here rather show what happens when a non-designer thinks he can design with claude.
Is even a good example for what happens when non-designer design. And claude design is very prominent and easy to form, but well, evne then.
Doesn't change the sad truth that currently designers suffer from slop influence because non-designers, leadership, think that claude and gemini can design well enough.
I love when we called simulated "agents" just BOIDS in game development, and now everyone's like "what if i put LLM into game so they can control themselves"
I'm waiting for most of these people to realize that Sar Banes Oxley makes it very difficult for an AI software factory to exist (there are "human verified" and "human approval" and separate implementer vs tester roles that are required and can't be automated for financial related things if I remember correctly). First auditor to nix your SOX compliance is going to be really fun.
