I'm going to just trust that we're live now. None of that faffing around. Uh, are we live? Let's just check everything. Nah, let's not trust technology because technology never goes wrong. Am I right? Never goes wrong. It works every single time. Every single time. Speaking of which, it just works. Apple. Yeah, we are live. We are live on Instagram as well. Speaking of which, this is what I wanted to tell you. So on Instagram, when people join, I see their names. They're like, "This person joined. This person joined." And when they comment, it's literally in the same stream of content. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got you. Got you. Got you. They should differentiate it a little bit.
Yeah. They don't. And imagine a lot of people leave and join again or like new people disconnect or whatever. And then you don't you don't see the comments. You see just a bunch of names. So, I started creating this Chrome extension that detects the word joined and just deletes them, but it doesn't work properly yet. How would you comment comments? No, it Yeah. Well, technically they are the same. Like they are the same. Can you um No different classes, no different IDs, no different anything. Uh can somebody please uh write a comment guys from my Instagram? Please write any comment. Doesn't matter. I see five of you are there. Um, please write any comment. Any comment.
Tell us how bad we are. No, tell us that you subscribed to the YouTube, the Instagram, the us. Yeah. Hi there. Thank you. Uh, thank you Moy saying that. Hi there. I'm sure I'm sure there's some CSS where you can actually check the contents like um well the class is literally the same for uh like the overall yeah the div that I would like to delete has the same class it's like same x17 y8 it's just gibberish it you should be able to do it with uh JavaScript surely so yes I did so what I'm doing I'm finding ing the set timeout uh every second. Yeah, the text I'm looking for the span a span of um joined and if it has the span of joined go to the class this class and delete the class.
Is that how you would do it? I would set some CSS on the uh just just leave the CSS there that says something like I don't know um comment Kabaza's comment or something like that just add that to the page and then every second just pull those comments and just anytime you detect um joined get the parent and add that class. So you're just leaving CSS do its work. You see what I'm saying? So you're just adding a class you're looping through every second. You're looping through all the comments if you if they if the text content contains I can even I can even like just write it but I can't I would you know yeah it's u the the problem is how would I run it like would it run if I just paste it in yeah I think I could just paste it in the console and it would would run yeah you could do it in the console and I'll I'll share my screen now right that that's kind of okay guys we're like building building software live so like I don't know first of all your what's all this now come on I can't make my my thing any bigger just does that anyway um you know I don't know how to add CSS to the page but it's something like document umcreate element and it needs to be and then you can just do style or style or whatever and then build up that add it to the page and that will just be on the load of your um do you see you know you know what I'm at right now, right?
Um, yes. You know what? Style equals blah blah blah. You do that. Um, and then your do document.append. Um, yes, we style, but that that will contain that will contain pause. That will contain um CSS that has something along the lines of But we need to detect first uh the word join. You're jumping ahead. You're jumping ahead, right? So, uh, display none. Yeah. So, you just add that to the page. That's on the load or something a bit more like, I don't know, KB comment, something like that. So, you just add that to the page. Then on a set uh interval. Mhm. That's our timer, right? This is our timer. Apples up. Uh, on a set interval, close that off.
every second. Can you zoom in uh in your I can't. That's what I tried. That's what I tried to do. You can. It it it doesn't work prop. You see? Yeah. Oh, there we go. It does it does work, but it's pretty bad. Yeah. Right. Okay, cool. And then in here, your uh you might want to actually uh you might want to actually get the uh list. Mhm. First, so you're not Here's the thing. I see a lot of people getting their element. They'll go const equals document query selector and then find their list inside of the interval. That's just wasted performance because you're getting the list every single time. Yeah. Right. So get it outside.
Uh well, we need to get the list every time there is a new No, you don't because you've already got the list. It's the children that's going to be popular. It's not going to be a new list every time. So then in here you go list dot the list is the parent three select. Yeah, exactly. Or well it's not a list by the way. It's a section. What class does it have on it? This uh the the class you don't want me um okay I'm going to give you have a class on it. Right. Yeah. It's it's a long ass class. Yeah. So whatever you you you get all of the um things um comments and it'll be a comment and then you go comment say comment actually we'll do this um I love like testing my knowledge here.
So comment inner text dot it's KB comment by the way. No, sorry. Is it you called it KB comment? Uh KB comment. Where's KB comment? Um in the CS. Oh, yes. No, no, no. Hang on. Hang on. You're jumping ahead. You're jumping ahead. I see. No, no. I now I see. Yeah. Yeah. Uh joined. So if if that if the comment inner text has join on it, this is where we'll add uh comment um class list add KB comment. So you just add that you just add does it? Yeah. So I mean this is this is definitely not the right code obviously but that will be something like that. But then this will be just you'll get your list actually to be fair this might this might be your file and I was adding CSS to something just the other day actually.
So I think it's even something like uh inner um HTML I think or something like that or stylestyle and then you just write it out. You say what is stylestyle? Well just it just adds style to this element. But either way, you'll you you'll you'll be able to Google how to add a style element to the page. Yes, it'll be something like this. Come on now. Now, okay, here comment. I can hear myself by the way. Uh just play none. It'll be something like that. It'll be like a string or something like that. And then and then you add it to the pa. You just add that to the page and then you'll get your list.
And then every second you'll just do that basically. But this this class will be um yeah that crazy weird class. If you can have something more generic because that class might change every time you load that that's yeah probably one of the issues but they they will change it if you know a better way. Let us know. Let us know. I I searched for Chrome extensions by the way. I'm surprised that there is no Chrome extensions for this to clean up like Instagram comment cleanup or something. Vibe it vibe it out. I like if I do it, I would separate things. I wouldn't just delete remove these classes. I would just take them and reconstruct them like in a split view or something like this.
Um anyway, so let's do formalities and then let's crack on with it because uh yeah, I'm excited for this week. Um what other formalities? We should we should figure that out. Come and like us. Come and come and subscribe to us if you're watching on different platforms. Yes. Um YouTube's a pretty good one. Or just let us know where you are, what platform you're watching on, and where you're from. I'd love to know. Um we're also looking for sponsors. If you are a sponsor and you want to sponsor the show, we would love that. And I think that's it. Formalities done. Unless you got any more formalities. How's my reflections? It's It's fine. When you look at the camera, it's much better.
But it it's fine. Don't know anymore. It just shows that you're not AI. Yeah. Yeah, I'm real. Yeah. Right. Okay. That's a good spot to watch. There you go. There's there's the lenses gone. Cool. Let's go. The plot twist would be one of us figuring out after like a year that uh the other one was AI the entire time. I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind. It would make sense. It would make sense. Been talking to an AI for a year. Yeah. It wouldn't surprise me in Well, we've been talking to AIS for three years now. Yeah. Yeah. It's been it's been a while. I was um you you were you weren't around, but when Chris joined the the chat um he was the guy I had a podcast with years ago and I maybe I remember things differently, but we were talking about chat GBT.
I remember us talking about chat GBT 2.5 for some reason because I had an AI girlfriend once and she ran off of GBT 2.5. Crazy. And this was obviously before but but blew up chatbt3 I think. I think chat is well that would No, sorry. I was going to put my bloody uh noise suppressor on. Um yeah. Uh I mean we can get into it one day but like the story of chat GBT is a really interesting one. It was kind of like haphazardly came about is actually probably put together by the community rather than at OpenAI. They were like they were literally being asked for it on forums. Can we have this chat interface because it's really inconvenient just kind of sending off all these API requests blah blah blah.
And they were like okay we'll build you this interface and it just kind of like went and just like snowballed into this thing. Crazy. But um yeah, this this chat app, whatever it was, I was using was using GPT 2.5, which had this kind of like fake perception of that I had a girlfriend. This wasn't, by the way, I made a video on it. I didn't actually have a girlfriend. I just did it to understand AI and stuff like this. But this was G2.5. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. We never we never made out. We never cuddled. So that's Yeah. You have watched her, right? Yeah. Yeah. I've watched her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's where I fell in love with Scarlett Johansson.
But um less about my love life, more about the AI news. Let's go in. Let's let's go into it. Do you want to kick us off and then we Yeah. So, we'll go with the intro and then we we start. Okay. This week we had the Apple event. Uh Open AI launched a job platform. Google admits the open web is in rapid decline, but all of the AI hype might be cooling off. Anyway, uh on a different news, we have web flow conf, uh all of this and a few more news in today's episode. This is Command AI. I'm Cabarza and I am Sam. All this in this week's AI news in design and dev.
Nailed it. Smooth. Smooth. All right. So guys, uh now the official start. We have we have the Apple event. Uh we had the Apple event this week and Apple stock um tanked investors and Yes. Yeah. You you can actually search for that. Uh I didn't add it, but like yeah, their their stock went down. Yeah. People were not really happy really. That's funny because I thought this was a good release. But anyway, this is Well, I don't think it was a Yeah, we It's back. It's back. Yeah, when was the event? When was the event? It was on Tuesday. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of in decline. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah, it declined, but it's getting up again.
Um, but it was underwhelming. Let's start with this one. Let's get it right out of the way. Which iPhone color would you buy because I'm I'm buying Dude, everything in mine's orange. My brand color is orange. Like I love orange. I was Your hat is Well, this is your hat. Your background. Yeah, this is brown. But whatever. We pass that. Um yeah, the orange is my jam. My my my uh wallpaper right now on my computer. Orange. It's my brand color. You go on my website. Orange. Anyway, what about you? H I don't feel the orange. I feel like I have nothing that I can, you know, like I can't set it with my I I can't match it with my clothes.
I can't match it with anything. But it is very vibrant and I do like it uh that it's so vibrant. Blue is not my color at all. I just don't like blue. Sue me. Um the the white one or like starlight gray whatever I think it is beautiful but not having black is diabolic. It's crazy. Yeah. See here's the thing though, right? I bought blue cuz I love I went through a massive phase of everything navy blue, right? Everything of mine is navy blue. If you can't see me here holding up my navy blue iPhone 15 Pro Max thing is mate, are you not one of these Yeah. Well, my current one is a leather and you see it's it's kind of orange.
It's brown, but whatever. We stick cases on them anyway. And if anything that you see is orange there. If anything, I kind of want the blue one, but I'll stick an orange case in it, you know. Ah, okay. Um, but you know, that's why I'm like, I like the orange, but we'll stick a case on it anyway. Therefore, it's so fat, so I will not be upgrading. I'm perfectly happy. The only thing I really like is that selfie format, but but I don't really I do like that and I because we make content and you know, I make Instagram content. So, I'm like upgrade. Yeah. And I Okay. And financially looking at it, uh I checked I don't have to pay extra tech.
Well, technically I am uh I just continue with my plan. I have a plan. I just send my phone back and I continue paying whatever I'm paying. It it's the same thing. So I will continue paying. No, I I have the Max and I'm kind of I I basically would like to try the Pro. You've presumably you've got the Pro then, right? No, I have the Max. Oh, I always go for the Max. This is gone. Oh, no. Yes, you're right. No, sorry, I'm getting confused. I thought you I was assuming you had 7 uh 16 Pro or whatever it is, but you had the upgraded storage, but no, no, no. You've got the max with base storage, which hasn't gone up.
Yeah, I'm saying. Exactly. Um either way, either way, um I kind of want a smaller phone. I I just, you know, I do I do so much on my phone, but as you can see right now, like you might see it, but my phone is like black and white. Everything's black and white. You can't really see it. Oh, got Yeah, I've got polarizing thing on it. Anyway, point is everything's black and white because I I try and use my phone as little as possible during work. So, anyway, all this to say is I would go for the smaller one, but yeah, too small. Anyway, uh let's look. So, just overall, you I'm pretty sure everybody saw it.
We had the new iPhone, the the Pros. We have an iPhone Air and we have the base iPhone 17, which is great. It's like the first time that the baseline is pretty much the same as the Pro. It's pretty good. We have the Apple watches that are really bad. Not bad, they are not new. Um, my Apple Watch is laying around somewhere. I don't wear it. We have the AirPods Pro 3. I have to buy one of my AirPods broken. That's why I'm wearing Plus with the with the ear thing. You probably don't need an Apple Watch anymore. Like I would be I would be tempted to buy these plus a Swiss um Swatch watch, like something cheap.
Do you know what I mean? And and the only thing I care I don't know about you, but when work working out, the only thing I care about in the gym is the heart rate. And I like I'm trying to see what am I doing and where is this bringing me my heart rate to because if I want steps my phone does it. Yeah. Exactly. So I I think we didn't mention this correctly but for anybody who doesn't know the new AirPods they have a heartbeat sensor in them so you can measure your heart in your ear. You're not wearing them 24/7 like you would do with your Apple Watch, but their battery life is now rated at 8 hours.
That is also so much better. It was five. Anyway, uh maybe we check the website and we talk about a few technical things about it. So, the Pro or the Air, your choice. What? To go and learn more to learn more because they're going to they're going to, you know, be excited about this. Oh, this one is so nice. Like, damn, that's smooth. I thought they might rotate it as I scroll down. That'd be nice if it Yeah, they they reduce the amount of like craziness by a lot. And they have three white colors and then one black. Anyway, I like the way Have you seen the way these pop up, by the way? Yes.
Yeah. And you know what? I'll show you. Yeah. I'm going to zoom in a bit. Watch down here. Just watch down here. Yeah, it's like liquid glass, isn't it? Yeah, I wanted to mention, but it is much more visible in a slider. So, this one, look at the components on the left. So, refresh the site. Just stay here and refresh the site. Don't know why, but my computer is running like absolute balls today. So, well, here we go. Yeah. So if you look at this, if you pay attention closely, it's not liquid glass effect. These bubbles, they don't have this stickiness. They don't have that liquidity in them. It just they kind of fake it.
Uh and that that's kind of funny because liquid glass is not something that you can do on the web. What do you mean they fake it? Well, they try to look like liquid glass, but the effect that we see in this slider is absolutely not what is what liquid glass is. Liquid glass has this like actual like physics to it that things when they are in a proximity to each other, they kind of like uh merge and then you know they stretch. But these don't have that. they have just a jumpiness or like a a a stretch I guess but it's not um connected to other elements and that's because like it's not really easy to recreate uh liquid glass if at all.
So they're they're only able to do it because the iPhones have got so much more powerful now that they can do the glass. Well, they have the full control over the the entire like graphic pipeline. But if you look at that slider that we were looking at, how would you tackle building that? I'm interested because like let's forget about the 3D part. So it has a slider effect, you know, you can slide between these and you have the option to close it and it doesn't matter in which direction you go. The image always goes from the right to the left. So it has a lot of details. But if you it has also disclosing option that you don't have with normal sliders on the top right this thing.
Yes. And if you go to if you go to mobile maybe you inspect code. So you look at it on mobile. Yeah. Where is Yeah, it's up. Okay. Yeah. Here you see the slider. Our images are our videos are like covering it by the way. Yeah. I see. You might be able to see. Maybe just do this. Just scroll a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's great. Yeah. I I thought this is quite nice. And we're trying to rebuild this as a Web Flow component. Come on, guys. Be original. Designers want to be original. you you want to you want to you know try to see what Apple is doing and how you can achieve it.
Of course. Of course. Yeah. But I think it's genuinely it's pretty nice. It's cool. Pretty well. Um but interestingly though with all this being said, no mention of like anything to do with AI. They don't think they even said AI, did they in the in the presentation? They didn't mention Siri and they mentioned Apple intelligence I believe three times and they mentioned it with the new uh AirPods which can translate uh a language to another live and that is really sweet like you can also show it on your phone so that the other person can see it and although you ain't getting that mate because you're in Europe really EU don't get it. Yeah. Which is so crazy because those are the languages that you Yeah.
Those are those are the countries in which people speak other languages. So I can understand you but you can't understand me. Yeah. So it it was underwhelming. It was underwhelming. And no AI for Apple. And I I watched a video on Yeah. Apple is dropping the ball again with AI. I mean, you know, they just they didn't mention it. They went hard on their um hardware. Um and obviously they just probably don't want to put their foot in it with regards to they're just not competing. I think, you know, they could even just be taking a back step because as we'll get into, maybe we'll get into it. It might just be too long a discussion to be honest about the AI hype dying off.
you know, they might just be holding out and realizing, you know what, people just aren't using it like in in the day-to-day stuff like they they're better off just hiding it because of course the the new front camera uses AI to detect whether you're there's four of you in the frame or whatever to to rotate it. m you don't need to mention that's AI or machine learning you know you you just don't need to mention this stuff and people are happy with that so maybe they're just killing trying to well they've been great at AI like Apple has been amazing at AI in general what they have been really bad at uh recently it's this generative AI and GPT so that's where they and it's it's Apple they they wait for a technology to mature And then they implemented and we know that CHP is nowhere near being mature.
Yeah. No AI is. Uh should we move on? Should we move on? Of course. Um so this next thing is it really quite interesting to me. Um, I don't know what you think, but OpenAI, Open's bold gambit to reshape America's job market with certification and jobs platform. So, basically, they've they've committed to, and this plays into the whole blue collar job exodus that we're, you know, we're fearing. by mid 2026 they want to um they've announced that they want to uh an AI powered hiring platform to take on like LinkedIn. I presume LinkedIn is the the job platform of choice at the moment. Um not only this is that they're also launching a certification platform through o OpenAI Academy which I didn't know existed.
I just clicked on it and I thought oh they must be doing courses and things like this. This is live right now about prompting prompting GBT for just getting to know because I was I watched a podcast earlier today and they like they were just they people still just don't know what AI is. They just don't know I don't know what AI is but I think we talk about AI but we need to be talking about the implementations of it. But anyway, this is interesting actually. Yeah. So um they've they've already announced like massive partnerships with Walmart uh with the aim to certify 10 million Americans by 2030. So very ambitious certify for what like for to to use church GPT.
I would do you know that's a good question. I think that it's yet to be seen what exactly. Yeah, I guess just being useful in their in their work whether it's prompt engineering. Um I mean there's a step-by-step launch guide here. So they've really maybe it's it's just knowledge worker sort of training that that just so happens to have AI, you know, how do you become an accountant that can leverage AI? How do you become an office manager or a project manager and use AI? Where are they leading the charge in that? So that's quite quite interesting. This is interesting. So this sounds to me that instead of AI replacing people, it is turning into a tool.
Uh and people might get mad at me for comparing it like this, but it from what I saw it sounds like, you know, like Microsoft Office. Like there was a time you didn't have Microsoft Office and then you had, you know, like people use Microsoft Office for everything. And it's kind of like you have it in your resume that you can use Microsoft Office whatever uh knowledge work that you want you have to do you know how to do it with this tool and now AI is becoming that it obviously you know adds a lot a lot a lot more value but nonetheless being a tool that help actual humans and not replacing them. M well yeah exactly right and and that further um you know encourage what's so funny it's funny because I'm thinking about like and not they they're creating uh a platform for jobs the f my first thought if you would tell me that without context I would think that oh they are creating a platform where you would build like AI agents and those agents would be the agents of that platform, you know, the users of that plat, not the users, but the the ones who would do the work, you know, get the work done, but it's not that it's still, you know, people just using AI.
So, no replacement of Yeah. complimentary. It's it's trying to get you to understand that AI can be a complimentary asset to your everyday work and how because people struggle with the concept of like how can AI work for me? I don't like how can it how can it do this um report for me on all this stuff that it needs this information needs that information and so then people just don't know where to start whereas I'm I'm all you know you've heard me say a billion times I'm under the mindset of modularity so like no no it's not there to create your report although I can tell you how it can create your report try not to think of it so broadly like that try and look at it as like okay you've got a bit of information from this big long document cons summarize and consolate update that document pull out the key points of that document to put into your report.
Yeah. You know, break it down into these into these logical chunks rather than trying to trying to get it to solve absolutely everything. And I think these courses and might help you understand that and and whatever. So, you'll go on to this academy, I don't know, this academy and be like how how can it help me as a um it might even be like uh what do they call like um plumbers and things like that. It might be how how can AI help me as a plumber because I obviously it's not going out to the houses. Well, actually it can help you with your finances. Actually, it can help you with measurements or maybe you can take a photo of a burst pipe and you know it tells you the diameter of the of the thing so you can buy a proper bolt for it or something like this, you know.
Um, help put people get people's brains into that into that world. I mean, what what's more interesting to me? I mean, yeah, the the academy is cool, but as you mentioned, what's more interesting to me is like the job thing. It's like they are again trying I guess it's reassurance of what people are really scared about which is AI is taking our jobs and it's and it's like well we could um we're going to we're going to highlight work. I don't this might not necessarily be AI work. I don't know. Um yeah, but from another point of view or like another thing that I could see here is um maybe because AI in itself like the the the models.
Mhm. Uh are not the products that can actually provide the the financial value for the companies because of the open source and because of competition. The it's not enough to have the best model or have any model. What is great for these companies to get what en enables these companies to make money presumably is the the the walls that they can build around their product the ecosystem that they can build. So that's what I see chat GPT is doing or like open AAI is doing by building a tons of products and services around their models. Yeah, potentially. Potentially. I don't know how much AI or chat GBT will actually infiltrate or play a part in these two platforms, these two situations.
But I totally, you know, it's what we were talking about before this call about the some people just literally will buy adverts for awareness. This is this is keeping the Open AI logo in people's peripherals as they navigate their their professional life and and naturally they're going to go to Chat GBT. thing is now chatbt is now ubiquitous with AI. So you know even though I use claude to search something or perplexity to search something what do I say to my friends? what I just chatbt it. You know, it's becoming like Google. You don't if if you use Bing. You don't say just because people ask GPT. Yeah. Just ask BT and they were like okay cool.
Yeah. But their chosen one is Google. It's interesting that people don't say just just ask AI. I don't hear people saying this. I hear them saying I do because I get asked stupid questions. I'm like, did you And I was thinking about this this morning and I prefer that just ask AI over just ask jet gpt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Right. It's funny because um perplexity is because it re as I search around on comet and use perplexity and whatever because it shows me the sources. It's basically a glorified I'll just Google that for you. Do you remember that that website that you let me Google that for you? Yeah. and used to put their query in and it used to just the mouse used to go up, type out their thing and then search for them and just present it to Google.
It's like perplexity is a glorified let me Google that for you. True. But to me but to me because I'm like watching it search all of these platforms and stuff like that. It's like oh you're just googling it for me. I I loved how it you you had this uh option to be like quite passive aggressive by including a a graphics that shows explains what internet is. So it would show this is internet and then this is a browser and then it would click it and then this is Google next time just ask what you want to ask here and then it would type it in. It was a internet explainer. Yeah. I I actually like used it for some people because people ask me questions like Yeah, for sure.
Yeah. Yeah. Um anyway, really interesting stuff from OpenAI. I know that um Anthropic are trying to be the go-to person for workers even though they on the on the other hand they're very much like there is going to be, you know, mass exodus. But I I dig it. Um let's AI hype dialing off guing off is our our next topic. Should we I feel like we should need to leave that just because of time. What do you think? We can shortly like it's a discussion. It's not going to be short, is it? I don't I I feel like Let's talk about that at the end. Let's talk about that at the end. Let's keep it for the end, guys.
Yeah, let's keep it for the end because I think it might just be a nice thing to wind down on um and talk about the state of AI. So, Google finally admits the open web is dying, which is kind of crazy. They so in a recent court document which is a and I've got some notes here which is a memorandum they've put together because they're being challenged through their anti-competitive nature of Google ads. In this memorandum they have explicitly you know um said that the current state of web is declining. Now the exact figures on that are that in January 2025 only 11% of display adverts were purchased um by Adwords uh for for open web.
So Kabaz and I have have guessed or we we think open web is the publicly available web. We still log into the web you know for your apps and things like that but the open web is what can you visit without any kind of login or anything like that. So 11% only 11% should I say in 2025 because it was 40% in January 2019 40%. So nearly half right and ad adwords can appear all over the internet. So they they are seeing a decline and this was their argument to say well if if we we try and reduce this through um anti to try and appease this anti-competitive nature we're furthering the decline of the web.
So and this kind of contradicts a few things that the um CEO Sundar Pai uh said that the web web is not dying. Uh but then in this article that they said to lawyers if if you want I can show you it. It's um it's pretty pretty bloody boring, but I used AI to summarize this for me, but it was uh yeah, so it's uh boring stuff, but um what else we got here? Well, but yeah, they're just saying that ad ad spend is shifting away from the open web and more into other formats like connected TV, retail media, and inapp advertisement. So, the platform itself still there, but it's just where these adverts are being.
is an app. Uh is it do you mean like social media maybe? Yeah, you know those free games, free games as well. You get banner adverts and stuff like that. Um yeah, just something that happens inside of an advert or whatever. So they said it themselves and you know we've said a few times the CE CEO SEO sorry is is dying. Discuss. Yeah, that that is interesting. This is also relevant to the position of these companies for showing ads. Um I I learned uh recently about Twitter that how bad Twitter is for showing ads and how well Google is positioned for showing ads. But if there is less traffic, uh does that mean that there there will be less ad spend uh ad spend for Google?
Maybe not because they show you the I don't know. they show you the AI generated um answers nowadays. So you don't have to go to any website. You don't really click on uh any links at all. I don't like I don't click on links anymore. So, well, I mean, what I've what I've posited is, and I've written in the notes here, is that maybe the web just becomes almost like a backend to apps and services. So, it's like we shouldn't stop publishing to the web, but this is a universally understood backend to our apps, to our to our everyday thing, not necessarily apps, but to to AI, you know, because it is a glor is a glorified Google search.
It is uh you know again I mentioned perplexities just going out and searching and just giving to you know it's getting everything together for me based on what I've searched you know rather than me doing it you know fishing out. So that was kind of where I'm where I'm imagining what the internet becomes. It's just a it's just a library for us to access information rather than become this um uh you know I I got this image of the kid on the surfboard like cruising like like surfing the web. Maybe we're just not we're not doing that anymore. We're just not actively. Yeah. No, it becomes a tool that we're using for information obviously apps and stuff like that as well.
So yeah, it's it's an interesting state of the web and um mate, you're a designer. Yeah. Well, this is what I'm thinking about like it does it mean that it will like reduce like the or like uh cut everyone who's trying to go to my website? Not really because it like my website at the end of the day will remain my first like line of contact with my clients or with like my leads. So any type of website that is um or like not the first line but it's kind of like the main source of truth as you said kind of like a back end but we still we still don't have um kind of like an interface within these other apps to completely interact with what is on my website.
They just take the content from my website and they kind of present it in a different way or summarize to you as a user. But if you are meant to, you know, if if the end goal for you is to buy my product, whatever that is, it could be a service, it could be information, whatever it is, you will land on my website anyway. So I I don't think it's going to completely reduce completely remove the need for websites at all. No. Well, I'm talking about design. I'm talking about if if the web becomes a backendformationally it becomes the back end. What's the need for design? That's why I'm getting into because if people will land on your website anyway, they the need for design still remains.
Not to mention, you want to stand out even more than before because now with AI kind of like templates, you can anyone can create a simple website. Once people realize, once the normal person realizes that they've effectively got a little personal assistant in their pocket that can go off and find them the best designer in Germany, you know, for uh let's say real estate, modern real estate, um parameter x, parameter y, all of these specific things. Find me the designer that can do that and it can just go off like a little assistant and do it for you. there will be no need for design. I I don't but it's true. Like once you once you realize that you've got this thing to go off and do like people do not want to be sat at their computer.
I have to but I hate it. I hate sitting at my computer to like no we don't want to work. We don't want to do this stuff. But they've yet to realize that I I don't know. I don't agree with not wanting to sit at my computer. I quite enjoy like building something digital. Me too. Me too. And I And I think um with AI and you know AI's AI tools for design, design is becoming more generic than ever and standing out functional, you know. I'm not even sure. Well, yes. Yes, probably. Yes. But but you still want to stand out to some Yeah. to the right people, I think. Yeah. Yes. You want 80% of people they just they need to know you can do the job.
They need to know that you're gonna be a return on investment, you know, and um you having a fancy design could be one aspect of that for sure. But this is what what we are betting on by the way like the the platform that I'm launching flowing that I you know talk about a lot. Well, not enough maybe in the streams but um that platform like my tagline I'm shifting it from you know just building websites. is about well-designed components. So what we are trying to target um is like distribution. Distribution of what? Distribution of like welldesigned pieces. Things that are very tastefully designed things that you cannot you cannot get out of AI. Not even close.
Things that you see and you're like, "Dang, I I want this. I want this. This makes me stand out. This is beautiful. This is functional. This is not that generic functional. This is like standing out and functional. This is beautiful. Uh this is like what we are betting on. And I believe with you know AI being more available to everybody and everybody having more generic stuff, these things will stand out more. Um sounds cool. I look forward to it. Yeah. You know when you you know when you watch something or you experience something whether it's a piece of music or it's a film and you just like I don't this could be a me thing so just you know tell me I'm an idiot but and you're just you're just like it's almost like you've just you want the whole world to know and you're just like the whole world needs to know this like this is so important the feelings that I'm having right now or the knowledge that I've gained right now like you ever feel that anything?
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. So there's partially this is why we are doing this. We are excited about things and we just share. I'm not talking about excitement though. Like I'm talking about importance really really important things which by the way again it happens with music. So like you know make of that what you will how we deem something important. But I watched a video uh by a guy called Dave Shapiro. I recommended him to you um as a kind of he's he's he's a proper computer scientist dork. Um and it's very dry. I'm not going to I'm not going to beat around the bush. It's super dry, but he released a video that I watched and he hypothesized the future of AI from a societal perspective.
And I feel like people need to ingest and chew this video because he starts off by just using um the history as as a as an example about how things he starts off with um that uh well let's start with the telegram right it's it was a one-way communication thing that you send across and it and it reduced time and space in this and it it brought into the nomenclature clerg of of society, this idea of breaking news. We don't need to wait to hear instant news and then he he just elaborates on the societal impact of that like stuff that you wouldn't even think of. And then he goes through to the obviously the internet and what that did to society and then the knock-on effects of those things.
And then he talks about AI and then talks about how politics will be affected, how obviously work um the one that was most interesting to me is how corporations will be impacted because we will suddenly start to realize that we don't need bigger companies to fulfill the things that we need doing. there obviously will again we're being very um extreme with our language here and saying there's no need for companies there will be a need for open AI or you know whatever AI company fulfills this this thing. So this this video is just really just like it blew my mind because it was like I got me thinking about AI in a very societal way and the how how things these technology shifts have a knock-on effect that you don't quite both positive and negative that you don't quite expect.
We're so and I feel like you and I, we're so honed into the immediate effects and maybe a little bit more broad than other people, but that I think there'll be knock-on effects that we just don't and he goes into explaining some of these things. So, I do recommend the video, but it's incredibly dry. I just wish I could just like shoot it into your brain or everyone's brains and just so they just know. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Um I I want to give that a watch. Definitely. it's more important than entertainment and I don't you know it's just like I think it just broadened my mind to this idea. I wrote I summarized it and wrote a LinkedIn post about it as well just to highlight some of the bits that I found particularly interesting.
Um, but yeah, it's it's it's I don't think all that to be said, the reason why I say it is I just don't I think we just have to don't ever Scooby-Doo how it's going to impact things because true, you know, um, it could be from a financial standpoint could also impact everything. You know, AI on its own in its own isolated bubble could have it certain amount of impact, but the very fact that it happens on a Wednesday could be an impact or it could happen on a rainy day. Do you know what I mean? Like it could h all these intertwining things. We just don't know what impact it's going to have. We can only speculate.
Um which is quite fun to do. That is very Yeah. And often times very depressing. Anyway, I've ranted on. Is there anything you want to do you want to bring up your But I agree with you. Yeah. And I want to watch that video. Uh I'm a sucker for that type of knowledge actually. Yeah. I I just I just warn you. I I I want to sit and watch like a bunch of videos and well read about how AI and the amount of energy that it will take is going to um affect us and like a bunch of things like this we there there will be so many effects that we are not aware of.
So yeah, but at the same time, you know, we we bank on the current uses of GPUs. Nvidia get on energy, you know, uh yeah, is that why Oracle, by the way, the the the guy, what is his name? Larrison, what is his name? The guy from Oracle. Oh, I don't know. For a few hours, he w or like a day, he was the richest man uh on earth. He was richer than Was that doing some funky stuff with like stock prices though? Because someone became like a millionaire just by getting someone to buy one item of stock for £1,000 and then immediately sell them back. So for an instant he was like a billionaire on paper.
Is it kind of like that? Uh no. He uh they have um sorry my neighbors they they distracted me. They they were like just looking. I'm sorry. Uh no. Um no, he he didn't do any funky stuff. They have a huge I believe this is like on my previous note. I believe they have uh an energy contract or something like this with OpenAI that OpenAI will spend like 60 billion a year with them or something like this. So their stock Yeah. skyrocketed because energy like AI needs more energy than we think. Uh we we kind of like we we had this issue with uh electric cars because we know like our infrastructure cannot provide enough energy for electric cars.
Now add AI to it. Thing is it's in their best interest to not spend money on electricity. So is it there is it will then this be a catalyst to a lot of green energy and and capturing sunlight? I mean I've no doubt that they're doing it need it needs work. It needs a lot of like you can't just you know from thin air create uh the the the panels or like the Yeah. And the wind has its own issues like all of the all of the means of like energy production have a lot of issues. Uh, and this is a different topic, but I'm like a huge believer in nuclear. Yeah. No, I mean that's that's kind of due resurgence, isn't it?
Because it kind of got a bit of a bad name, but yeah, you know, storage and recycling and all this that and the other has be has come a long way since um Chernobyl and all that kind of Larry Ellison, by the way. Lar, thank you. Um, somebody on my Instagram mentioned, thank you. Yeah, he he got ri he got rich the he became the richest person for a few uh hours and yeah, congratulations mate. I wish I was you. What was his name? Larry Ellison. He's uh he looks like a fun dude. He look I don't know. I think he's a bit Yeah, I I should learn more about him. Um, yeah. Like he looks like a fun dude.
He does kind of He looks like a magician, doesn't he? Yeah, he does. He does. Magician look about him. Yeah. Um, interesting. Anyway, let's go on to Replet 3. They had a little um live stream the other night, uh, last night in fact. And let me read the headline. Vibe coding platform Replet just took the lead. It just took the lead. So they announced uh agent 3 and this is basically an overhaul of the platform, the AI itself um and everything and to run through some of the some of the features here. It's got inapp testing. So if you don't know what Replet is, maybe I can share my screen. Yeah, show show that at best.
Um, I'll go off here so I can not not replet.com. Replet is an is a vibe coding platform and I really like it. I'll leave links down below um affiliate links just to FYI. I really like it. I've often started a lot of my apps inside a replet because I feel like it's really great for um just architecting uh architecting an app like getting it getting it up and running without having to worry about all the individual components. really really good for that like prototyping and yeah for your for your prototyping and what I really like also about um so I built the AI I really hate AI app inside of Replet and what I like about um it is that it has and you're seeing uh agent 3 right now actually this this is actually if I can if I just close this this become a bit more Um, sorry, I'm still getting used to the interface right now, but it has everything built in.
So, you've got databases built in, which other platforms don't. And it's an EON database, so um you know, still third party, but it integrates really well with Neon. It's got authorization built in. Um, it's got secrets, which is a lot which is what a lot of other platforms like Lovable, like Bolt, all of these other platforms, they don't really have a lot of the integrations. I describe this as the web flow of vibe coding coding platforms. It's got everything built in. You don't need to worry about anything. I've since move I mean this is still in replet but other apps where I take it beyond the prototype. I then export it bring it into clawed code and do this that and the other but um I forgot where I was going with that but the point is it's uh it's a really good all-in-one platform that kind of has everything you need.
Now, uh, I always criticize Replet because it it was very overwhelming. Look at all these tabs that I've got going on here. Who's this? You know what I mean? It's very And if I just if I actually just keep closing these maybe this this is what I was going for. It starts to get a bit starts to get a bit more familiar with people from lovable where you've got the you've got the main agent space here where you're just chat chat chat chat chatting and it will just build it out. But you also do just have this tablete thing which is unique to replet where I can start to dig into not only some of the features it has like assistance, secrets, authorization, storage, publishing, all that stuff, but I can also look at files.
I can actually go to um I can actually look at files and actually go into the code and start it's it's just a bit more like nuance. You can really dig deep into it. But the simplification that you can see right now is is something new to Replet 3. If I go back to their website, uh where is it? Um in the they got so when it will build it, it will actually it's got actually app testing built into it. So and with this max autonomy feature, which you basically just trust it. It's like yolo mode in in cursor or whatever. You just can let it run for up to I've got the numbers here, 200 minutes.
So, you can leave this running and it will just do its thing for 200 minutes, which not quite sure how they're doing that from an API standpoint, which I think they use uh Claude. Yeah, I think they use Claude somewhere. Um, and it's a really like just a welcome addition. I think they've tackled that aspect where it becomes overwhelming. It's still from a design perspective, I still don't think is as friendly. And I'm talking about UI rather than UX. Um, still not as friendly as some of like lovable and stuff like that. But I'm telling you, it's it's by far and away a lot better if you can just get over that aspect. It can um it can do a lot more for you, I think, as a as a vibe coding platform.
So, and what what was also quite interesting and more from a broad perspective in this live stream is they're trying they're trying to encourage you to think more and more about building these apps to encourage your day-to-day usage of AI. So rather than again going to a corporation buying a subscription to a SAS app, build your own frigin app, you know, and they they were reiterating Matt Palmer Parker Palmer and some other cat uh were just reiterating this of like just building these apps just to just to help you through your day and encouraging that me mindset and mentality, which is what Claude did with archives or whatever they call it. Um uh no uh artifact artifacts.
Yeah, artifacts. You know what they're talking about just building applications to help you get your work done for yourself. So that was quite an interesting conversation that they were encouraging through the live stream. But overall really really good uh really good um set of features. Uh, and it comes off of the back of a three billion dollar valuation raising 250 million in a series D round of funding. So, they're they're on the up, you know. Um, one of my favorites. I think Riplet is a really cool product for the next generation of makers, people who are going around finding problems and, you know, trying to solve them. And I believe it's not meant to, you know, to be used to solve problems for millions of people or even hundreds of thousands of people.
It might be, it might be actually solving a problem for three people and I actually mean it for three people. So imagine like there is a company of 20 or company of 50 and three people on a higher you know position they they use a few different products to do something specific about their business and it bothers them and we have enough example of this like the just go to any business and see what software they use it's absolute trash. So what uh next generations of makers I I like to call could do is going to these businesses, finding these problems and building a prototype or even a working MVP for them and even might be able to finish it off and just package it and give it to them working just fine because it doesn't have to be scalable.
It doesn't have to be to have like the the cleanest code. it doesn't have to have all the standards if it's something internal used by you know a few people to solve a very specific problem. So I think for that riplet is amazing and it can actually lead um to you to become like a engineer because that's where you start and then you understand like you learn problem solving and you just take it from there you learn from the AI and I can very well imagine that you start with replet and end up with something like cursor within a year. I mean like I keep encouraging you to use you know you're you're you're very you're stubborn in using cursor and wanting to use cursor but I think these are great platforms to learn the ropes of architecture if you're if you're willing to really you know I like max you can max you've got max mode show you that max mode yeah but with cursor I have just so much control and I have this like ease of mixing cursor with web flow and I I like to keep you know the host ing on web flow for the majority of the things that I do because I'm already paying I already am familiar with the platform and I have the max control over the looks you know if I have if I want to change something in the looks uh the looks of what I'm building I just change it directly in web flow and the functionality is what I'm building with cursor that that's why I'm so stubborn with that I mean yeah I mean it the only the only thing I would you know tweak about what you were saying.
You were talking about makers going into companies solving the problem for three people. I their encouragement was really looking at yourself and looking at your own problems to solve because you all have different needs. You also all have different requirements and if yes it takes a certain mindset to to you know so what I want yourself a tool I I want to build a tool for my cocktails that I make uh on the weekend. So for my for my family and for like an app that they can order my stories, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I want to have like my own order like I I I have a specific way of uh making it and I want to to do it my own way.
Well, so everyone can chill out and just order a cocktail and it would come up on with their phone and like uh Yeah. And I will make it and then I ask my brother to to deliver it to them. So half the time you know we've got everyone's got all these problems. Okay, what I was going to say is you need to be tuned into realizing, oh, I can build an app to solve these problems. And we're certainly in tune with that world. But their their their message out really was like anyone just look at your look at what you're doing. Look at try and think of how an app something you do repetitively, the automation aspect, just how can you how can you make your life easier by building an app?
There that was their message. Not and there was a few little things they raised and one of the things that I you asked me a question last week and a lot of my focus on the responding to that was like what's their need have you spoken to them whatever I think our industry is completely um saturated with people trying to read the minds of society where truth is they haven't got a the foggiest idea so you need to go out you need to speak to people and find their problems the the the chance is your, you know, oh, I've got a great idea for an app and you think it's going to be good and blah blah blah blah, but you've not gone out and spoken to anyone about it.
The likelihood that app is going to succeed is next to nothing. You know, we're we're in this delusional world at the moment, which again going back to this video by Dave Shapiro sort of alludes to is like we're so insular right now. We just we think the world is kind of like um someone's asked a question. Uh we might go into that a bit later on just because it's web flow and we got some articles on web flow. Um the um yeah the the kind of mindset that we are we just we just not going out and speaking to people just not going out and trying to solve problems for real people. We think that we can just come up with it.
And low key, I don't want to go into it too much, but I've been thinking a lot today about the quality of developers that have gone completely freelance versus quality of developers that have actually worked in an organization. And I don't know about you in design, but for me, developers who have worked inside of an organization are leaps and bounds like better than those who have just always done um freelance because they've just never learned anything outside of their own comfort zone or little bubble sort of thing. Um so again, don't know where I was going with that, but it's just this idea of um I don't know where I was going with that, but there we go.
Uh just nattering on as per usual. Um well actually do you want to just quickly answer that cursor for cursor for web flow? How do you integrate cursor and web flow? I've got a video on it by the way I can link you to but yeah so you should watch Samuel's video. I should also probably make a video on how I use it. Uh but I essentially just you know uh write the code the JavaScript in cursor and just link it you know the inside of web flow that that's it. It's quite simple. It's like the literally the simplest thing. And um I have a few like um prompts that I always use like kind of like system prompt that I tell the AI I I have my HTML and CSS inside of web flow but kind of like create a replica of that in cursor as well.
Like a different HTML file, a different CSS file. So I so so it has the context. So the um the AI has the context of how like the HTML looks like and I can also have a look at it. This is the downside of it that you know I wish cursor could see what I have on web flow. Um, and sometimes what I do, I actually like publish my Web Flow website and then the part that I'm building, I just copy the outer HTML and I literally paste that in in inside of cursor and there you go. I you now your AI has your wait this could be an idea like what about like a Chrome extension or I don't know whatever tool that can pull well it doesn't have to be a Chrome extension it could be like about what an uh the idea of an app that can look at your web flow pages like the actual HTML structure and pull that inside of cursor So when you when you build something, your AI has the full context of um your HTML doc.
Do you get that? I'm not listening one little bit to anything you're saying. I'm assuming you're talking to Sebastian. No, I'm I'm talking to you. So the idea summarize perplexity. Summarize what? So the idea of an app are you listening? So you want a um an extension to do what? It doesn't have to be extension. No, an app. An app that can pull your Web Flow uh HTML like the HTML that you create with Webflow, pull it inside of cursor essentially. So your AI can have the full context of where you are trying to do what. Yeah. So I mean that's a great feature of cursor in general just to be able to say, hey, here's a web page to pull in context of.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. But I think this doesn't matter because we will talk about Webflow Conf and I believe this is the direction that Web Flow is going. Yeah. I'm sure we'll talk about this in a second. I live chat. Do you know what it's So, here we go. Right, Sebastian. I'm I've put two links in the YouTube um chat, but it didn't come through to the other one. So, I'm just going to paste them into the Twitter one now. Um but hopefully that makes sense to you about uh you know how to integrate the two. Um let me try and get my clipboard up. Boom. Okay, let's try this one.
So, hopefully you'll see two links going in the chat in the live chat that are different. And they are different. Cool. Right. Um, yeah. Anyway, let's move on to what are we on? MPM hack. Yeah. Do you want to take this one away? Well, um, you can continue, but I can't just go with the start start of it. So, hackers managed to pull the biggest supply chain chain hack ever in history, but they stole only 22 cents of crypto. Of crypto. Yeah. The biggest hack in history. Imagine the biggest Imagine you do the biggest hack in history and you only steal 22 cents. That that that's a big fail. Well, on both sides. Both sides failed.
So you want to I mean we're being facitious. There's more to this story obviously of course. But um so MPM um a you put down the name of the person. I want to know who they actually uh what do you call it? um what packages they they made, but a particular uh globally um a major open- source maintainer of some major MPM packages was caught off guard by a fishing email that gained access to his MPM account or whatever. And then they were and these these hackers were then able to access all of these packages and insert I guess some sort of command that says that changed the URL of the of some sort of donation thing.
I'm guessing I'm not I'm not too versed. No, it you you mean the how they got access or No, no, no, no, no. Once they got access, they changed the the address of a crypto crypto address. Yes. So imagine uh you you open your MetaMask crypto wallet and then you want to send um any amount of crypto to somebody else. So what this tool would do it would find out like that you have like this is your crypto address and then it would like the this the receiver and it would change it to their owns and they would use a specific algorithm. That's how I understand that would minimize the amount of change so you wouldn't notice.
So it's kind of like use the closest words uh and so you wouldn't notice that the the the address changed. And that way the idea was that theoretically like they could any crypto sent to anybody uh that they would receive it. They would amount. Got it. was like five cents and then another. So the issue is is with all of this and the reason why they're only to steal 22 cents is that a lot of the packages that they hacked were backend packages. So if this was a extension, if this is a front, this is a front end uh compromise or intended to be a sort of front end thing, they were only able to change only a few and again was only able to steal 22 cents.
So it's a complete failure from from that perspective. But I think this does sort of raise into question. I mean it was solved and and removed within eight hours, you know, it was it was I mean it's still a long time, you know. Um, I woke up eight hours later to a 1510 pounds Google Vertex AI bill this morning and it went up to 15 because I couldn't bloody delete it. So, a lot can happen in eight hours, not more than 22 cents. Um, anyway, but I think this just raises into the question of just fishing and how sophi sophisticated yet simple some of these emails can be. When I read this, I was immediately reminded that I've I've clicked on recently and it just it just needs to be the right place at the right time.
I clicked on a link in a docu sign email saying I need to sign a document and um it was on a day that I was indeed waiting for some sort of document signature. So I clicked on it and then it took me through to an Apple login and I was like Apple login and I was sort of my mouse was moving. I was clicking around and I was you know you're like no I was I was I was going to do what it asked me to do and then I was like this ain't right at all. And I looked at the email and I looked at the URL and did all the usual stuff I do and it's like whoa.
As a smart, handsome, funny, intelligent person like myself, even I can get done with fishing. Yeah. You know, and so I think they're finding ways to uh to to get us and it's becoming more and more sophisticated and I think we all just need to have a bit more due diligence and whatever. Um, but Yan's the as a reminder, just don't click on any any link even if you recognize the link. Uh, it's really hard. I know, but I um so I read a tweet that because this was only made aware to me by Theo, right? Uh, and it's now in this moment just reminded me of a tweet that he retweeted which was what the He was so stupid.
It was so so stupid. Some millionaire Oh, it was a Mr. Beast thing. So, Mr. Beast had this um event that he um uh charity event organization where you put in so much money and they're going to do a bunch of stuff in Africa, right? Some really, really cool stuff. And this guy, this millionaire, um he was a casino, so he kind of freaking deserved it to be fair. He's a casino game maker. and he donated. And then shortly after he donated, he received a a a telegram message to say, "Thanks, guys. This is a new group that I've from Mr. Beast. This is a new group I've created uh for the top donors, and we want you to um Wow.
We've just we've got a Coinbase thing going on. One of the sponsors of the video, Coinbase, wants you to put more money into the Coinbase coin that they're releasing and you get, which by the way is insider trading, which is totally legal. So this dumbass multi-millionaire was was glorifying his insider trading. Um, yeah, participate, willingness to participate into insider trading. Um, followed along with it and then he donated an extra quarter of a million or something crazy. Um, and then it was like, "Right, this is the last round of funding. Like, get into this. Mr. Beast is like, get in on this." And then he's seeing tweets from other donators of Mr. Beast, like uh what's that?
Mark guy. Mark uh I don't know, but he Mark Ro. Uh Mark Ro. Yeah. Yeah. Uh the the NASA the exNASA engineer. Um so he's uh he's messaging as well in the group and whatever, getting all hyped up and whatever. Guy messages again. He calls Mr. Beast because he's like, you know, after his second donation, by the way, he decides to call Mr. Beast. And Mr. Beast is like, "What group? What group are you talking about?" And he's like, "You're kidding." And he's like, "No, there's no other group. There's like, no, there's nothing going on." So, yeah. And and you know, so he's talking this story. I got the same message, right? I got the same not the same message, sorry, but the same format.
and today uh yesterday or today. And um I then find out that he screenshotted the message in his in his tweet. The amount of grammatical errors in this tweet. Um I really want to show you this bloody I Oh no. I I I removed myself. I said scumbags and removed myself. But the the amount of grammatical errors, the um just everything about this tweet is so like obviously a scam. And this stupid dumbass multi-millionaire crypto, not even crypto, but casino guy totally fell for it. And he got slated in the comments because like, oh my god, I have no sympathy for you because you fell for dumb like that. Anyway, that's my story. Well, I didn't know about it, but yeah, the scams are getting out of hand and I don't know like having it's so easy to not have grammatical error in writing because you know a it's crazy that still and it was like that by the way back in the days with websites right if you would see a website and the website had grammatical error you would say I'm not going to buy from them because they are scamming me and now people are following for the same It's just in a different It's crazy.
There was another thing as well, like it was it was just stupid to think it was a URL or um funny enough. Uh so I get my AI to write a lot of my posts on LinkedIn and stuff like that. I'm still I don't use any AI for Twitter, but like LinkedIn, I get it to put in a typo. I say add at least I I say choose to add a typo or not. Just at your discretion, add a typo. Well, What I do when I write something, I write it and then I ask AI to fix it and then I break it again before sending it. So I do like actually get into it and I delete like whatever I feel like it's it's too uh unhuman, too perfect.
I just make it how I say it and I think that is beautiful. Um anyway, let's see. That's how I scam. Anyway, serious. Oh dear. Let's move to Let's move. Yeah, you can share your screen and No, I'm So maybe you zoom a little bit. You go to maybe their um like page. Yeah. So So can you guess what this framer feature is about? Uh this year we've been steadily improving the design of the experience uh design experience in Framer. On September 16th we're making room for your biggest ideas on so okay so there's lots of Oh no they're button they look like the buttons which by the way I'm still waiting on my framer little button thing.
The material Yeah. Yeah. Ah, they look so what what is this? What are we looking at? It looks like it looks like a bunch of like cards with a different effect on them with different textures on them. So, this one looks like smooth plastic. This one's like a bit like Alcatra. Um, you know. Yeah. I don't know. What do you we see? Look, there's stitching there or something. There's a lot of textures and effects and things like that. So, maybe is it 3D? Is it the fact that it's 3D? I don't know. Well, no. They they show everything in 3D by the way. This is like how this is how Yeah. how they do it.
And they do hype things. They are really good at hyping. That's why the comments what what do the comments think? What do what what does Twitter think? So people are thinking this will be like design related. Yeah. Not like development related. More like um like Figma killer feature. Mhm. Um it looks like to me it looks like some it could be some effects like textures as you mentioned. So you could add textures to elements uh in a native way which would be really nice because uh I believe yeah web not web flow Figma has this. With Figma you can add some noise and textures. Maybe this is that. But Bobcat Jam says I heard 3D.
Yeah, but like 3D and I don't know like what type of if it's 3D, why is it why they decided to show it this way? It's like layers of materials. It doesn't look like shaders to One of them is glowing. They're they're they're they're going hard on this. They're trying to like There's one that's just always outshining the rest. Our glare there, you know. Yeah, but the 3D looks really good by the way. Like they are they are really good at creating these uh assets. Looks real, doesn't it? Looks real. Yeah. And with depth. There you go. Um what is interesting that uh they just announced this to be on the 16th and what do we have next day is web flow conf.
So they tried to get ahead of web p you know steal the which is understandable. I um I have as I said in the past yeah I have a few issues with framer and how they you know they market themsel but uh I actually hope that this will be something like not just hyped something meaningful and big and beautiful and something that convince me to move over. Yeah it is nice. It is a good um it is a good good platform. It is I do like framer. Yeah. So good for like you know designers who are learning designers and um who want to get into the web stuff. the the the barrier to entry is so faking low.
Um that and I Yeah. And if I were framer because as a web flow developer I used to think like to feel like okay framer is coming at web flow. Um and they were I I believe but I if I were framer why would I go at you know why would I go after web flow when I could go after Figma? It makes no sense to go after Webflow. Web flow is like a developer tool for people who want to go towards like more professional and crazy type of like you know systematic websites and bigger sites for corporates and things like this or even award-winning websites while Framer could be the platform for designers who would build their portfolios and you know start from there but build into you know businesses and even corporates but starting with designers and starting from design starting from the first uh step essentially which is designing in a canvas and then publishing it.
So it makes sense for framework to pivot towards um design related things because you know you know Figma dropped the ball a little bit there. designers are not extremely happy with Figma and Framer could actually let us know what I was thinking the other day as well like let us know out there you using Figma sites you know where's Figma sites at it's just kind of like and all everything they announced this year I just don't get me wrong I'm not like deep in the community to know but like I got a comment on one of my videos this morning uh someone's like I don't understand what I'm using Figma sites Oh, no. It wasn't Figma sites.
It was Figma make, but the same thing. It's like, are people even using all of this stuff? I don't know. Not my world. It's genuine. It's a genuine question. I'd like to know the answer to the last thing I'll say about this framer stuff is so you can explore without limits. And I wonder if this is a CMS thing because I know their CMS is quite limited. Maybe it's a collections thing or or or maybe maybe it's like um e-commerce or something like that. Don't know. Don't know. It could be that actually it could be they have there are like some e-commerce integrations their CMS is indeed um a bit limited but a few people in the comments mentioned that this limit limitation thing is what they are mentioning is more about the canvas.
So they have a free form canvas but it's not a true free form because you can't have multiple pages. It's not the same way um as Figma. It is a different type of like free form canvas. So it would be interesting to to see how let's uh let's move on to our old friend web. So the next one web flow let's do this website is quite nice. I quite like it. So we have web flow con coming up next week and I would like to hear what your predictions are. Uh I have some wishes and we know what the community has been asking for years. Um, and Seth is speaking. Yeah. And the site is really nice.
Have you tried the dark mode if you scroll all the way down? Well, two and you see that uh in the footer there is this button for dark mode uh in the conf like in front of the conf. I really can't be bothered. I'm going to system settings. I just I'll go where I know where it is. Uh in the footer. Yeah. Oh, there. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And you see like this uh effect when you move your mouse uh in the footer as well also like anywhere else. Yeah. Nice. Nice. This is really nice. Yeah. Anyway, I don't like I don't like the contrast of these colors in dark mode, but uh anyway, we'll keep it in dark mode to keep safe people's eyeballs.
Well Well, I do like both of them. Anyway, so what do you think uh or like what you wish Web Flow to release? So, I've been out the game for a little while now, as you probably had guessed. Um, I'm trying to think of what they've I mean, I want them to really finalize Web Flow Cloud. I'm in ongoing discussions with them about Web Flow Cloud because it just doesn't work. I can't make any more videos because their storage isn't working. Um, so I just Yeah. Anyway, so obviously I want to them to finalize Web Flow Cloud. The fact they've got Seph there. This is again, you know, we talk about them really not really appealing to the same audience as before.
I doubt many of the Web Flow crew really know or care about Seth Goden. He's a marketer, you know. Um he's not a funky designer, you know. He ain't he's cool, don't get me wrong, but um again, not from a um customer standpoint of Web Flow or what we we used to know Web Flow to be. It's kind of fun. Um so given that probably some more uh features on their uh analytics platform that they released, whatever it's called. Um, web flow analyze. Analyze. Yeah, I'm cheating now because I'm going into speakers and maybe making some assumptions on the speakers. Well, what what Oh, this is cool. Look at that background. Yeah, it is really cool.
Yeah. Well, you don't use Web Flow nearly as much uh as as you used to. So, what would bring you back? That's AI as Um, what would bring me back? Yeah. Um, what would bring me back? Do you know what? I feel like dragging and dropping is so slow now. Like, don't get me wrong, like typing isn't much better, but like I feel like web web flow slows me down now. No code platforms slow me down now. Yeah. So what if you what if you would get something like similar to replet with web flow. This is like my wish to have replet and cursor to have not replet to have cursor inside of web flow so I could chat with it build.
Yeah, that's true because Yeah. Yeah. Because we speak about Unagi, whatever it's called, Miyagi. Miyagi. We spoke about that. It would be crazy if Web Flow didn't um incorporate something similar. They got a big big speaker list. This is huge. But this is just in the US though, right? Yes. Yes. So, yeah. So what I wish u from web flow what I would love to see um to have less CMS limitations because right now you still have some CMS limitations. I would like to have just far more control similar to traditional CMS uh like other CMSs and also to have like finally proper coding tools inside of web flow. So what I mean like either integration with uh something like cursor or like an ID or like an environment that you can just like you can use code as norm and bind all of that with web flow cloud.
So web flow cloud I don't want web honestly I don't want web flow cloud to be a thing of its own. I want all of web flow to be webflow cloud. Does that make any sense? You want Do you just want to be able to code? You don't write code. Yeah. So, basically your like web flow cloud right now is separate from the normal web flow. I want to be able to you know publish the web flow uh code to for example GitHub and use any idea that I want to build any structure that I want in web flow. I have this visual canvas but also um you know using any code uh code editor to to build whatever I want and have like a seamless integration of these two.
So you can have all the goods with like edit mode and you know hosting and all the nice things that Web Flow has with the CMS everything that can be visual but you as a developer can also just fully code just like Replet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like a massive overhaul though, right? Yeah. It doesn't sound like I'm saying it as like we're just not do this. No, it's not easy. And we don't even have any platform that is anywhere near what I just described. So, yeah, we shall see. When's the uh when's the talk? It's only in New York, isn't it? Yeah. So, it's on the 17th and the 18th. And something interesting, if you scroll a little bit down a bit more, so you see the first list of speakers and you see the keynote.
I noticed something pretty odd. Uh a bit this one. No, scroll down here. No. Uh sorry, not here. Uh here the agenda and the for the keynote. Oh, I see. I got uh so if you select the 17th uh opening Yeah, you see the opening keynote and none of the co-founders are anywhere on this list. But the these are seuite though. They're all seauite. CEO uh she is the CPO so product yeah tech CTO yes who's I don't know I think he's like marketing and the other guy is they're seuite you know this is the thing what is the making the thing is like founders are they're they're that they're founders and the quicker they can step away from actually doing anything you know once can build a company and then step away.
They they built a company, you know, they that's what a founder's job supposed to be. No, I mean that depends on the company. I mean Elon is still doing the Tesla uh presentation. Yeah, but he's an egotistical maniac. So, and we Well, we had Steve Jobs. He was, you know, he was the best at doing the keynotes and he has he had this passion and understanding for design and everything that he was. I'm not saying that these people don't have that, but they are not to me they are not Vlad and to me it is the company losing its soul. Mhm. Well, you know, they're a different company now, guys. Yeah, a different company now.
You know, they're growing. They're not They need to make more money. They need to make, you know, and they're not going to get that from designers who want to use the website for free. Which by the way, freaking I tried cancel I cannot cancel my account and I've been charged for it and they just haven't got back to me. Anyway, that's uh that's just something I've realized whilst being on the air right now. Really? Uh like your Webflow account. Yeah, you just can't. I just try and cancel and it says you're part of an organization. So I've removed myself or sorry, I'm a guest in another organization. So I've just removed myself and it's just not thing and now I've been charged like 100 120 bucks or whatever it is for the year.
But it happened to me a few times getting charged by by accident or like I forgot to remove a hosting from a website because like I do it for the client and then I duplicate and send it. By the way, that's not anymore a thing, but it used to be that like that and I every time I uh message support every time I got my money back. So I'm sure you will get yours back. Yeah, they're pretty actually good with that. Yeah, it's been a month. It's been a while now to be fair. Yeah, send an email. Anyway, that's been this week's AI news. Um, not a busy week. No, not you say never. Don't stop saying that.
It's been a totally busy week and we've been on We've been streaming for an hour and a half, so stop saying that. It's been shocker. Well, we have a lot to talk about. always. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um Yeah. I think we'll we'll wrap it up there. Yeah. We didn't decide on an iPhone color, but that's fine. What do you mean we didn't decide? I mean, I to be fair though, I didn't I would I would go orange just without a case, but then I don't want to. Just buy just buy the new I I want I want to I don't need it. I don't need it. You definitely need it. like your life will be so much better.
The quality improvement like your life would will change. Imagine what is it in a week? Is it something just over a week they'll be in people's hands and I can watch at least watch the reviews like and just make No, I I want to go to the shops and try the colors and and like hold the orange and the white and then see like which one. Yeah. Both of them. Like how do I look? Yeah. But but this is like a up from web uh from from Apple because look I would like to buy but now I kind of don't want to because of the color. I don't have any other issue. It's just the color.
I I don't like the orange and I don't want a boring white. The orange is just a bit too much. Don't get a pro. No, I want I wanted I want the Zoom. That's the thing. I want the Zoom. I just remind you what you were telling me before this freaking call, mate. Well, I'm not going to pay extra. That That's the thing. Like, I didn't lose money on this. Well, technically, what happens to that phone? Can you sell that or do you have to hand So, I send this for the remaining. So, I'm paying monthly. I send this for exactly the remaining uh amount of money that I owe the bank the this specific bank that works with Apple and I just continue paying for another year for the new phone.
So what happens if you don't what happens if you don't do you now pay less on your monthly thing on that phone that you have in your hands right now? No. No. So you might as well upgrade. Yeah. Exactly. it it it will extend it. So technically I am losing money in two years but for my today it doesn't make any sense. It it doesn't change anything and but you but it does extend. It does extend. It does extend but as I ex as I use this one it also reduces uh the the value drops. Yeah. Yeah, this is I know I I'm like still paying. I'm going to pay, but it won't make a change in my next two years.
That that's what I'm I buy my phone. I always buy them outright and that way I just don't have to like and that that does let me keep the phone on average four years, you know. So, if we're talking like I don't know how much I paid for that. Was it 1,100? Uh maybe it's 1,200. I don't know, which is crazy. uh divide by 12 that's 100 bucks a month um for for one year so it cost me100 pounds but I use that no I'm paying like 50 so I'm talking about me now so my phone buying it outright cost me £25 a month really because I keep them every four years when was the 15 what was it 15 so 16 17 so we're only two years really so I've got I've got plenty of time left on this mateent time left on this Yeah.
But you pay 40, right? No, 50 something. 50 euros. Yeah. 50 something then again. Yeah. I I I will be continue I I have to continue to pay uh the installments anyway. So, I might just change the phone because it I Apple is getting the exact same uh like giving me the exact same amount of money that uh that I have remaining uh as remaining uh for my installment. So, that's that's why. Yeah. Got it. Anyway, let's wrap up this uh this pod. Um like, subscribe, and all the rest of it. Uh we've launched an Instagram as well. So yeah, tune in same time next week. Twitter, Instagram. Yeah. Uh follow us on our new Instagram.
Yeah. Account, guys. Like Yeah. Command AI. Command AI out. Command AI show. Yeah.
