"There Is No AI Revolution"

Good write-up.

But it focuses too much on the big companies. Many indiehackers have figured out how to make profit with AI:

1. No free tier. Just provide a good landing page.

2. Ship fast. Ship iteratively. Employ no one besides yourself.

3. Profit.

The old silicon valley idea that you need to raise a bunch of money, hire a bunch of devs, and scale a ton to satisfy investors is dying rapidly for software. You can code and profit millions as just a single person company, especially in the age of cursor.

And pretty much most of them just resell OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Meta's APIs and model access, with something repackaged on top.

And none is remotely profitable.

Greater than $50k profit per month per employee sounds very profitable to me.

And who actually makes that much?

Or are you counting also VC money into that "profit"?

levelsio, eric smith, david park, jacob of rezi, etc

If this were true wouldn't we be seeing a massive devaluation of software? (or alternatively increased demand for complex software)

It is true because levelsio, eric smith, maker of interviewcoder, etc exist.
