Tell HN: YAAS Yet Another AI Shit – Monkeys with Machine Guns

1•hypery11•2h ago
Every week there’s a new “AI startup.” Same formula: a prompt, a wrapper, a landing page. So yeah — YAAS: Yet Another AI Shit.

⸻

1. The monkey and the gun

AI made building easy — maybe too easy. Now everyone’s a “founder.” No clue what a transformer is, but hey, it runs. The internet’s a zoo: monkeys with machine guns. Loud. Flashy. Dangerous.

⸻

2. The new breed of monkeys

Half of them can’t tell LLM ≠ AI. They say “trained our model,” but it’s just an API call. Wrappers as “innovation,” demos as “intelligence.” Not evil — just clueless. Magic tricks without learning the trick.

⸻

3. The illusion of creation

Using ≠ creating. Real builders care about constraints. YAAS thrives on infinite compute, zero thought. When cost hits zero, taste dies. Creativity wasn’t democratized — noise was.

⸻

4. The trust, fear & security crash •Auto-generated junk leaking keys.

And the cherry on top? Knowledge panic. People buy courses to feel safe. Gurus sell fear disguised as wisdom.

⸻

5. What’s scarce again

Understanding. Taste. Maybe the only innovation left is knowing when to shut up and stop typing “/generate.”

⸻

Guess what — this post might be YAAS too.

s/o to Skynet — same team, just cleaning the trash.
