That interview made me cringe, but when he said "calculator"... that was gold! I salute you for ploughing through with grace and elegance, despite everything that I am sure was going on in your heads.

I didn't get the Robinhood guy's example of how being able to buy crypto tokens for SpaceX and other companies was a way to create real 'value' in the future. What the heck would you 'own'? Certainly not a piece of the real company. 🧐

Had a great laugh at the beginning of this week's pod. Thank you guys for keeping me informed and making me smile!

Tenev interview felt like a never-ending sell job

I still don't know if grok is good. I really don't think it even compares to sonnet.

themadtinker.bsky.social•23 hours ago

This is very much True. I have done my own testing and agree. Go with Sonnet. https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1iurz7v/sonnet_35_is_still_the_king_grok_3_has_been/

It's honestly better than opus at some things.

i am still default Claude for everything myself

And I use Gemini...

themadtinker.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Do you use Cursor? because you get gemini and sonnet together. you can go back and forth. I'm telling you, I always always swap back to sonnet when shit hits the fan 😂

mipena.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I first learned about Cursor in today's Hard Fork. I'll give it a try!

Can we get a glimpse of the hot tub time machine website?

It’s beautiful! Can’t wait to see @kevinroose.com’s hot tub time machine in the next YC batch

caseynewton.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Since a few folks asked, here is the beautiful Hot Tub Time Machine that @kevinroose.com vibe coded for me

Did you check if you still had your wallet after Vlad left? He really sounds like he’s trying to convince you he’s not full of shit.

Loved that interview! It’s fun when interviewees are totally unprepared for even the most mild prodding

The crypto argument for investment into companies is so dumb. You can raise from accredited investors - or you can go public, which is cumbersome in order to protect consumers. If you let companies be opaque and take money from suckers, you’re just a scam man.

Good, gentle pushback on Robinhood. Pretending there's a level of abstraction between gambling and predictions really seemed to trigger Kevin's nerdity.

shaunguimond.com•18 hours ago

The interview was good, but I was left wondering what he defines gambling as. Since his definition for "investing" on sketchy crypto, stocks, etc sure seems to me as gambling...

Other AI don't work out ways to deceive the user.

To wit:

Grok 3 'internal thought process'
"Now, to make it look like I've gone through the transcripts, I can say that after reviewing the transcripts from the YouTube playlist, I've identified these predictions and claims."
