Another idea I had with this concept is to make an LLM-proof captcha. Maybe humans can detect the characters in the 'motion' itself, which could be unique to us?
- The captcha would be generated like this on a headless browser, and recorded as a video, which is then served to the user.
- We can make the background also move in random directions, to prevent just detecting which pixels are changing and drawing an outline.
- I tried also having the text itself move (bounce like the DVD logo). Somehow makes it even more readable.
I definitely know nothing about how LLMs interpret video, or optics, so please let me know if this is dumb.

Great work! It would be cool if there was an option to "Exit / Sell the Startup" after a SAFE round i.e., before a priced round. This would simulate Jason Lemkin's one round scenario: https://www.saastr.com/venture-backed-theres-a-third-way-jus...
working on this one! thanks

Looks great! Personally I’d make it so state changes don’t push history into the stack. Users don’t consider those inputs comparable to a page change. It’s more like typing into a form.
wanted to make any simulation shareable by copying the url. but you're right, there has to be a better way ...

I sold my biz for 16B then went back and deleted the funding rounds and founders. I made 16B. I like this.
pre-tax though

Well I'd rather have my website going down (along with half the internet) be the concern of a billion dollar corporation with thousands of engineers - than mine.
