A few days ago, I read an article stating that influencers receive more attention on the red carpet compared to traditional actors.

Then, I came across a video demonstrating how Hollywood movies with enormous budgets can be replicated with minimal costs.

What does this mean for the movie industry?
Will we see more emerging talents creating outstanding films simply because they are skilled in using AI?
As influencers seem to be replacing actors, could ordinary people with AI skills start to replace Hollywood studios?
I began to speculate on the possibilities:

I've been wondering if there are any professions today that are just not ready for AI? One I can think of are skilled trades like plumbing and electrical work.

They often face unpredictable challenges that demand real-time decision making and provide reassurance to clients something AI can't do.. yet.

What about you? What other professions do you think are safe from the rise of AI?

48 hours ago I launched on Product Hunt.

Here is what happened:

1. I launched with zero stress.

2. I didn't send a single DM for getting upvotes.

3. I found a random Hunter with no followers.

4. I wanted the whole process to be fully organic, to see how PH works.

5. I got 85 signups to my app from the whole launch.

6. I did not get featured on the main page.

For me:

1. TikTok-like launch party / AMA livestream

2. "Where Are They Now?" Tracker of products 3-6-12 months post-launch

3. Feed of launch stories sharing successes, failures and tips like a substack community/feed

4. Pre-launch AI scoring + domain-specific expert advisory

5. Generative launch creatives for social media distribution

6. "This vs. That" Showdowns head-to-head product debate & polls

7. Dedicated boards for more content diversity: hardware, non-AI tools, pre-orders, alpha user invitations etc.

8. Launch-in-public real-time analytics (visitor heatmaps, referrals, engagement - inspired by hunted.space)

9. Different display views of daily product launches (inspired by PHDeck)

10. More fun gamification in points system (interactive badges, referral, waitlist pre-launch)

11. Better search filters (category, reviews, personalized recommendations)

12. Founder matching hub for advisory and mentorship

@rajiv_ayyangar Curious to learn more about ProductHunt's future roadmap! :)

I thought I wanted to start a podcast with my friends, turns out I just wanted to use the format to stay in touch.
I travel quite a bit so I have friends in many timezones. Some of us attempted to start a podcast by each recording an audio clips and stitching them together into an episode. We quickly realized we didn't want the discussions to be fully public, however, the format of communicating through these audio podcast-like messages was a game changer.
This is what lead to the development of Roads Audio.
So have you ever wanted to start a podcast? What was that experience like?

you probably know me from horse browser, but i ve been tinkering with design and html since the game boy color first came out!
before i even learned to code, i was making wallpapers & windows xp themes trying to win "daily deviation" awards on deviantart. when i *did* learn to code i built a pok mon battle with jquery right after coding my first working rock-paper-scissors game just so i could do battles on my kindle. later, i designed poolside fm s (now poolsuite) iconic icons, launched johto mono (formerly pok mon-font ) on product hunt, and kept making weird & fun experiments with design + ux at their core
thanks to the power of ai, i went from building websites to building a browser. horse is built with electron, and we re currently pushing hard to get extension support merged with the hope that once that happens, we ll see a wave of other niche browsers that help so many people
i say "help", because i could never get anything done with normal browsers, until i made horse, and to my surprise, i found that it's because i have adhd, and horse also helps other people with adhd letting them switch topics, come back to things later, and actually follow up. i m currently working on getting recommendations from therapists who are seeing how much horse helps their clients
ask me anything why i made horse, what being a super cool guy feels like, or whatever else you re curious about!
i ll be around all day answering questions ( ` )
