| I rent boats for a living, and in the evenings I built myself an app to practice my guitar. My users have never heard the term MRR—I had to look it up this week.
If you want to make money with a product, build the product, not buy the method. Distribution is the only problem because there's too much junk. |

| ▲ | muixoozie 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | I've been seeing "It's not x, it's y" on YouTube a lot now part of the script someone is reading across many random topics and channels. Dunno if it's frequency illusion or real, but it seems real. "Here's the kicker," there's so many of tells it seems obvious when I hear it or read it. Guess it's not surprising people grinding out content are using content bazooka to help. Just a new type of dystopian vibe. The algorithm demands content and the talking head is devoid of original thought. Is this a type of reverse centaur? | | |
| ▲ | tourmalinetaco 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | That’s been a formulaic title or slogan since before newspapers. Everything an LLM spits out is something we overused to the point that the probability is almost certain it will appear. “It’s not a car, it’s a Volkswagon.” “It’s not a TV it’s HBO.” “It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno.” “It’s not just a phone, it’s a BlackBerry.” It’s a frequency problem, because LLMs are all about frequency and probability, but it’s not like it’s something unique to the post-AI age. |
