... gonna lie. A topic like this was outlined on X, and many people were discussing it. It s controversial, especially from the perspective of old-school

... Heretics already getting punished, quietly. Critics mocked, artists ignored, workers fired for saying no. The push from above, and where the money is really coming from Here is the part nobody can fully explain. Every company, every government, every school suddenly has to adopt AI. Right now. Faster. The pressure does not match the actual results yet. Real productivity gains are mixed. Real profits at most AI companies are negative. And still the orders come down from the top: roll ... ... with me .There s definitely a sense of inevitability being assumed rather than proven. Comment from Adana Marukhyan(@adana): @bogomep Really enjoyed the reading of a thread where I met deep analysis and creative approach to the most common topic

... works smaller scope, more customer conversations, less guessing. What's the most important conversation you almost skipped? Comment from Imed Radhouani(@imed_radhouani): @stoyan_minchev  You're right. And this is the part nobody teaches. In school, they teach you how to write code. How to architect systems. How to make things fast and scalable. They don't teach you how to figure out if anyone actually wants what you're building. So you learn the technical side ... ... free, I will then invest some money in ads. I will try vloggers and directly contacting people that might be interested. I really don't know. Any suggestion and help on the topic

... from Ashraf Mahmoud(@amm8): As you describe, it comes down to how you use Ai. For general purposes things that I know, I use AI as tool to summarize information. I can check the results because I know the topic. For new information, I use it as a researc tool. But, I try verify or validate the results. When it comes to coding, I've been using for things I have no experience in. Most recently, this has been ... ... Craig(@elissa_craig): I think it really depends on the person and where there are in their skill development. For example, I fully believe someone should truly learn their niche on their own 'the traditional way.' Aka, going to school

... potential for cross-pollination between categories - like maybe a monthly "intersection digest" that highlights products sitting at the crossroads of AI + design tools or fintech + developer tools. Would love to see how you handle the curation for topics that don't get daily launches but still have passionate niche audiences. Comment from Irving_ai(@irving_ai): I really need something like this. ProductHunt features so many products that it s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to check ... ... grace_esteban): Love this. As a newcomer still drinking from the firehose, a curated digest would be a lifesaver. One category I'd love to see: GovTech / government productivity. There's a huge market of public agencies, school

... busmark_w_nika): @apparentforgmail  Do not have to use AI for the answer because your one is pretty clear and accur8 :D Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @tereza_hurtova  I like to think and discuss this topic, because it also affects the salary. When someone now uses in the job description: The salary depends on the experience (so this floscule started being very abstract to me). If juniors are not needed, they then have to expect ... ... Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @andreitudor14  In that case, once you do not have that knowledge (you will blindly trust AI), the level of knowledge will shift very slowly. Many people just use AI for copypasting without acquiring "old-school

... companies launching new features daily, I felt that we daily see Google and Claude in the top, I don't know if I am the only one that it bothers, but it obviously feels like CR7 playing in football school tournament. While I believe somehow we should have space to allow everyone to compete, and I love discovering Big tech new features. There is probably some solutions to explore, and Alpha Day seems like a great initiative in that direction ... ... time launches a dedicated space makes so much sense the biggest challenge for new products isn't the product itself, it's getting seen on a day crowded with established players.

Protagoras Named after the greatest Sophist of Ancient Greece, this mode is a debate training partner . Bring any topic or position and spar with Protagoras: build stronger arguments, anticipate objections, craft effective rebuttals, and learn to think on your feet. Invaluable for students, lawyers, writers, and anyone who needs to communicate persuasively. Lattice of Mental Models Apply frameworks like ... ... from multiple angles.

Comment from Chris Conlee(@conleec): This is a great research topic, Ryan.

It s my vision for the ultimate self improvement app. My goal is to make something to help high schoolers

... topic is close to my heart. I'm actually building a web-app (a visual management system) using agentic coding tools (what that one guy called vibe coding). It's a bloody great app and I know I've built something incredible... that doesn't have AI integrated into it, at all. Because it's built for physical operations, it will involve people adding sensitive data, like business data, personal data, actual locations.... and maybe I'm old school

... proper guidance can help reducing criminal activities, its not social media ruining teenagers life, rather its bad Parenting I think so.... Comment from Ruxandra Mazilu(@ruxandra_mazilu): I think it's hard to pick a side on this topic, as a full ban feels like too much, yet social media can be quite harmful as well. I would probably be in favour of adding way more restrictions. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @build_with_aj  To be honest ... ... what it is. at 16, they jump right in. Wouldn't that be overwhelming? wouldn't that be disorienting? Imagine being that kid, maybe you got lucky and got good faith education on it from your parents, maybe the school

But, while I work on tweaking the AI, my plan is manual verification initially and hence I plan to start with a select few topics

... welcome. Hopefully, your paths will cross. :) Comment from AJ(@build_with_aj): @busmark_w_nika   I should make my own twitter feed as a browser extension, one with an algorithm that blends chronological posts and posts in topics I label interesting, while avoiding doomer posts.

Comment from Ksenia Sh(@ksenia_sh): @busmark_w_nika ... ... will accomplish more things (but maybe without less control). Everything evolves uncontrollably fast. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @bradshannon  OK, that sounds sick. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @ksenia_sh  Finally someone who likes old-school

... started turning my personal habits into a checklist to build discipline and make these habits non-negotiable over time. Here s mine: 15 minutes of meditation Read at least 10 pages of a book Read one English article (any topic) Take notes on new vocabulary from that article Go for a run or work out Learn knitting Practice writing Python I can't do all of these every day although I really want. However my time budge has limits. Instead ... ... lost in work. Workout, hobbies (like chess, dance, music) and playing with my kid are my daily must-haves.

It s a bit old-school, but the ideas feel surprisingly current. Not a startup hype movie - more like a reality check.

I learned French back in middle and high school, for almost 7 years I think. I can understand 50-60% of written content but am still far from spoken French, mainly due to not having enough peers with whom I could converse with. I learned German while in university ... ...

We are four people in our startup + our company account that posts every day mainly on LinkedIn ... ... course going to be on TikTok, IG, etc. for older maybe Facebook and for B2b LI, X, etc. Of if your customer is not tech savvy, not social medial savvy, then maybe in-person communities such as schools

... nika): @michael_kulla  Maybe I would restrict it to 15. After that, I would have to admit that the teen needs some skills to gain (e.g. graphic design, video editing, programming etc). Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Interesting topic, Nika! You hold a very similar position to ours on this. As still relatively young parents (our little one turned one just two weeks ago), there s still some time before we reach the stage you re talking about ... ... boasting about how he learnt programming by 11, ditched gaming because it was a "waste of time" and got his internship by 13.

... everything, but it can be a means to generate happiness. I am just honest. :D What steps / financial decisions changed your life for the better in the long run? For me, these were: I had good academic results at school, so I received scholarships - I saved them to buy equipment (a camera) with which I could learn now video/photo production partially earns me money. I started working part-time jobs at a relatively early age, so I also saved some ... ... shaped my approach to bigger financial decisions later. Curious, which of your steps ended up being the most unexpectedly useful? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @ixord  Maybe specialisation in 2 areas while trying to cover more generalistic topics

... academia, and that's really okay! Just like not everybody has to be an entrepreneur, or like not everybody has to be a big corporate manager. I know the path from academic dropout to successful entrepreneur is a popular topic for debates, but I never understood what's so interesting about it. Academia is for some, the entrepreneurship path for others, and maybe some will try to experiment with both. Both paths are challenging, require energy, and don't guarantee ... ... Nicely said. We need to earn it along the way! Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @ixord   @ilana_boeira  I think when you have the best collective in the class, you can perform better. Unfortunately, many schools

... Comment from Ritik Ranjan(@ritik_ranjan): Really interesting move by YC! It feels like a middle ground between drop out now and wait until you graduate. You re right, priorities do shift during studies, and having two environments (school + startup prep) can be tricky. But maybe that s also the strength of the model, students get to validate their ideas without the huge risk of dropping out. As for Europe (or beyond), I think local accelerators and universities could partner ... ... Would love to see more universities integrate that kind of hands-on collaboration with structured mentorship programs, it feels like the best of both worlds.
