every "AI build in public" guy you see on your timeline right now was doing dropshipping 3 years ago

before that it was crypto, then it was amazon FBA, forex signals etc
its the same people, they just rotate to whatever the new hype cycle is and repackage the same playbook
Usually its just a wrapper on top of an API that took them 20 minutes to set up with Claude
they dont actually understand the tools. they dont have real technical depth. but they know how to make content that sounds impressive to people who dont know any better
they get the engagement, they get the followers, and then they sell you a course on "how to build AI agents" when their agent breaks every 2 hours
ive been building AI tools almost every day for months and I still run into problems constantly. anyone telling you this stuff is easy and they figured it all out is lying or hasn't actually tried to use it for anything real
I 100% see the value in building cool sh*t, documenting it and talking about it in public, just not in the way a lot of people like to do it with 'fake hype' thats misleading
