Probably glasses or airpods.

If Apple has an opening for an AI-first device, its AirPods with their own Apple Watch style SIP and data connection + replacing Siri with a real multimodal model.

Why don’t you just say what you are trying to insinuate in the commenter’s mind, rather than asking the “why do you think that is?” question?

The argument is that vibe coding is great for little personal programs but bad for full-blown products.

I don't think you can ship a fully baked product made exclusively with AI coding yet. But it's *really* useful for investigative product development - e.g. when you have a few different ideas for how something might work but aren't quite sure what's best. I used to regret that I never mastered Figma or other mockup tools - now I never will have to.

If you're an accredited investor (make sure you meet the financial criteria) you can cold email seed/pre-seed stage companies. These companies typically raise on SAFEs and may have low minimum investments (say $5k or $10k).

YC lists all their companies here: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies.

Many companies are likely happy to take your small check if you are a nice person and can be even minimally helpful to them. Note that for YC companies you'll probably have to swallow the pill of a $20M valuation or so.

And often when YC invests in multiple companies in a space there are multiple winners:

- Gusto, Rippling, and Deel

- Mixpanel, Amplitude, Posthog

Congrats on the launch!

Thank you!

He went to Yale and worked at a prestigious VC firm. Most people with those credentials are at least reasonably smart.

Ivy League schools are notorious for inflating grades to make their graduates look smarter. It seems the biggest factor for entry is money.

Before you reply, let me be very clear: Yes, very smart people do go to Yale, and yes, people go to Yale without lots of money. A few specific instances does not negate the general case.

Vance went to open admission Ohio State for undergrad and went to Yale Law school via DEI admission, on the strength of his mother's drug addiction.

Working at a prestigious VC firm means you can schmooze, network, and lie.

what do you think people should do when their countries experience hyperinflation?

They should ask why it's happening so regularly that startups are springing up to insure against it.

The causes of, and solutions to, hyperinflation are well understood [0]. Solving the problem might require a political revolution. When you have a playbook for doing that in a peaceful way, please let us know!

Is that the bar necessary to believe systemic change is possible? I'd argue it should be "any slightly more peaceful way than the existing order". Perfect the enemy of good and all that. Or am I missing something?

sure! and in many situations, a new technology or company or whatever is a kind of systemic change. For instance, right now I'm accessing this website via VPN in a place where hacker news is blocked. That's both a technological solution and a political change.

The OP comment is about how it's dystopian to seek technological/financial solutions to political problems. I think that attitude is misguided.

Seems kind of silly, would you have this kind of moralizing argument against people in the US buying treasury bonds right now?

Investing in treasury bonds is a bet on your country's long term economic health. This is a startup, explicitly preying on people's fears in poor countries to transfer their wealth into cryptocurrency.

Apples and oranges.

Just "ask" and take no action to protect themselves?

What company are you at? I've been working on a product to solve this problem.

Were you able to find good candidates from your post eventually?

Not yet. It has been a week and I have 500+ resumes sitting in the inbox. Not fun.

Just curious, do you use LLMs in your reviewing process? e.g. Summarization, prioritization, etc.

Thinking about it. Might build my own tool.

Good luck! Sounds terrible
