As someone who belongs to “all of us”, i vote to not bail us out if shit hits the fan. No need to ask me when it happens, OK? No really, it’s nice of you but we really dont need to be bailed out. You are welcome :)
>> Cool product launch, though it feels a little weird to me that Cloudflare sells agentic products alongside this new service that seems designed to block agentic usage of the web?
They're profiting from both sides - seems like good business to me.
A laptop hooked to an external monitor and keyboard is basically almost the same experience IMO. And it gives me the optionality of taking it the few times I travel (tho i can see how some people would decide not do that)
See the reply up above. You can't just expect LLMs to give you good answers if you're not providing lots of context to it. Also, make sure you give it guardrails. Like say you can't only infer it from the JS scripts on their website, external AJAX calls, job postings posted directly on their website, their Github profile, and engineering blog... Otherwise you're gonna get lots of made up stuff :)
Also, in terms of hallucinations, you might want to consider giving more context to it. So instead of just telling the LLM the domain/company only, scrape their website, get all the javascript and XHR calls it makes, and find any job postings, then pass ALL of that to the LLM. The more data it has, the more it can extract. If you just give it a company website, it's just going to make stuff up. That's my 2 cents if you insist on going the LLM route. Or just tell it to scrape more stuff (which will cost more tho)
I am building Bloomberry (https://bloomberry.com), an alternative to tools like BuiltWith/Wappalyzer to provide sales signals when companies subscribe or churn from over 1600 B2B tech products. Think backend/backoffice tools like Hubspot CRM, or Netsuite, or Microsoft 365, rather than frontend technologies like Wordpress or React.
I did a similar study but analyzing actual API subdomains, and ignoring those fronted by Cloudflare, Akamai, etc and the conclusion was the opposite: European companied are more likely to be using OVH and Hetzner than AWS/Azure
Mommy bloggers was probably the most ludicrous niche back then. Tons of consumer companies wanted to pay them to promote their product or have a “giveaway”
'those with attention' is a unicorn. Look at Facebook + Google - they own attention. Yet a huge % of products they make are duds. It is much much harder than you think to get lots of people to use your product.
AI can help you write code, but it still can't help you get customers, or attention. In fact, it makes it worse. AI helps with introducing more noise, more content, and more people clamoring for attention. It's a lemon market.
You're right on the latter point. I always wondered if Linkedin increased their spam filter or make it 10x more expensive to DM candidates, but I guess it's simply because there is simply a lack of demand right now
Maybe companies should say “Wanna apply for a job? Come to our office during these hours for a pre-screening and to drop off your resume” you can’t email or apply online anymore
