i just tried it out. solid, but doesn't seem as uncensored or capable as e.g. https://uncensored.com/ai
btw: do u know whether c.ai actually parses tone/emotion from voice (or just from the SpeechToText stream?
smartest/most human uncensored ai i've used. i think the api is live now
How the f did you make this? And it's so fast
Note though that I'm very biased toward AI companies...
Most established, clear product-market fit:
- OpenAI
- Midjourney
- Character ai
- Runway ML
Ones that are interesting:
- Adept AI
- Modal, Banana.dev
- new.computer
- Magic.dev
- Modular (Mojo)
- tiny corp
- Galileo
- Hippo ML
- Tenstorrent
- contextual.ai
- Chroma
- e2b.dev
- Steamship
- Patterns.app
- GGML
Ones that I want to learn more about before deciding:
- Inflection AI
- GetLindy
- Embra
- Jam.dev
- Vocode.dev
That's about 50% of my list. Happy to clean up the rest and write a post if there's interest
One thing that amazed me while working through HTDP was that almost all my bugs came from not understanding the data types correctly, or messing something up with the process of manual type-checking. Once I understood the data structures I was trying to pass around and compute with, the bugs almost always melted away.
Now I program basically everything in a language with type checking (mostly in TypeScript) with thinking about data types and type definitions as the foundation. I'm amazed to see how 95% of the pain, complexity, and bugs has just melted away.

I worked with a bunch of smarter-than-me UW grads after graduating.
My “how to write large systems” takeaway from that early point in my career was to focus on the interfaces between various parts. What I’d never thought about until now is that is a very data centric viewpoint.
- What system has what data?
- In what shape?
- What shape does the next system need its data in?
- Are the interfaces between these orthogonal? Shallow? Easy to grok? Tight (as opposed to leaky)?
Great article.
>Shallow?
too many deep inheritance typescript libraries being built today I find!
i've seen too many businesses destroyed by sudden "your account is closed" with no human contact
