ChatGPT psychosis is rare if you know how it works. “How GPT works” should be a required subject. Primary lesson: a GPT is a function of its data. It can uncover interesting facts and make fascinating correlations. But it will not discover non-governmental demons. Anything the GPT says is a remix of its training corpus. But labs benefit from GPT mysticism so they don’t say this. If you internalize the lesson, esoteric responses, when you invariably hit them, will at most make you think “hmm I wonder where it got that from.” And maybe you search or prompt a bit more to find out. Otherwise you’ll think you are revealing some deep universal truth, and that’s when things go down hill. Teach your kids that a GPT is a function of its data.

Amjad Masad: Vertical SaaS Is In Serious Trouble⁣ ⁣ "We have stories today of a lot of people replacing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of SaaS with Replit. I think the vertical SaaS is in trouble." — @amasad

Introducing MirageLSD: The First Live-Stream Diffusion (LSD) AI Model Input any video stream, from a camera or video chat to a computer screen or game, and transform it into any world you desire, in real-time (<40ms latency). Here’s how it works (w/ demo you can use!):

Had a super fun chat with @MannyBernabe today. Not only is @Replit a great product, but my experience so far is that the entire Replit team is comprised of great people. I’m starting to think there’s a link between the two 😅

Awesome prompting hack from Viktor. His two-person team hit $10K MRR in just three months, built entirely on Replit. Replit Agent can be a little too eager sometimes. It jumps into building before you’ve fully figured out what you want. Viktor’s fix: split it into two phases. Phase 1: Chat Mode Only Prompt: "Let's just talk about [idea]. No code yet. Help me brainstorm and clarify." Go back and forth until you're crystal clear. Builds your knowledge without overwhelm. Phase 2: Execute Mode Now hit: "Using our convo, build [specific thing]." Agent nails it with full context. Why it works: → You learn fast. Ramp up on tech without frustration. → Instructions get sharp. Ditch vague asks. → Agent levels up. Prior chat = better output. Simple prompt engineering win. Viktor’s story is 🔥. More soon.

Amjad Massad (@amasad) started Replit to make programming accessible to anyone, anywhere. What began as a tool for learning to code has grown into a platform pushing the limits of AI-assisted software creation and recently surpassed $100M in ARR. On The Breakdown with @t_blom and @dflieb, Amjad shares the journey from his early days in Jordan, working on open-source projects, to leading Replit through major pivots from "teach a billion people to code" to "let anyone build software." He discusses the evolving nature of programming, the future of work, and the next generation of human-computer collaboration. 00:38 - From YC to Replit: The Early Days 02:00 - A Billion Developers: Pre-LLM Vision 02:58 - Betting the Company on Agents 04:20 - AI Autonomy Jumps (Claude 3.x → 4.0) 05:22 - Computer Use: The Last Mile 06:40 - Sampling & Branching for Reliability 10:00 - Non-Engineers Shipping Software 12:10 - Security & Safe Components 17:40 - Where Replit Fits (Cursor ↔ No-Code) 18:50 - Ambient Building & Mobile Workflows 23:00 - AI in Meetings & Granola Maximalism 32:00 - Should Kids Still Learn to Code? 33:52 - DIY SaaS & The Vertical SaaS Crunch 34:46 - Final Advice for Founders

People keep saying that vibe coding with AI is the future & making $1M/m apps is easy now But for someone with ZERO coding knowledge, is that really true? So, using @Replit & GPT4, I vibe coded an entire AI-powered app in less than an hour — here’s how it went
