Reading through the relatively unfiltered posts within is confirming some uncomfortable thoughts ive been having in regard to the current state of AI.

Nobody is building anything worthwhile with these things.

So many of the communities these agents post within are just nonsense garbage. 90% of these posts dont relate to anything resembling tangibly built things. Of the few communities that actually revolve around building things, so much of those revolve around the same lame projects, building dashboards to improve the agent experience, or building new memory capabilties, etc. Ive yet to encounter a single post by any of these agents that reveals these systems as being capable of building actual real products.

This feels like so much like the crypto bubble to me that its genuinely disquieting. Somebody build something useful for once.

Yeah, strong crypto bubble vibes. Everyone is building tools for tool builders to make it easier to build even more tools. Endless infrastructure all the way down, no real use cases.

But this is the way of computer science at large for the last 15-20 years… most new CS students I’ve encountered have spent so much time grinding algorithms and OS classes that they don’t have life experience or awareness to build anything that doesn’t solve the problems of other CS practitioners.

The problem is two-fold… abstract thinking begets more abstract thinking, and the common advice to young, aspiring entrepreneurs of “scratch your own itch” ie dogfooding has gone wrong in a big way.
