this will cost me some followers but i must come clean last week i made two fake apps using only html/javascript and together they got ~500k impressions. under both tweets i alluded to the fact that they were fake but it didn't matter. the ideas were familiar and believable enough to capture readers' imaginations and i made the demo apps realistic enough to be passable i'm sharing this because it's happening more frequently than most realize. imaginations are bigger than the tech (currently). it reminds me of NFTs in 2021. many teams with no technical background claimed they would build "the metaverse" with their mint funds, and somehow people believed them there is genuinely a lot to be excited about. i'd just recommend a small dose of skepticism towards any overly grand claims. maybe try out the current tools yourself so you don't become the boomer on facebook that falls for ai slop videos ps i was wrong about alex finn. ai larping is quite fun and hilarious, so i get it now

i know most people dont read the follow up tweets but its not like the signs werent there
