I'm building this on the open web with hyperclay.com:
• AI/LLMs can generate great HTML, now they can persist its state too!
• Zero-config: you don't stand up a database, write API endpoints, or manage keys
Gives you fast, low-friction, functional apps.

Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.
But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?
We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.
We call it Quick 👇🧵

We just launched Sites into Codex!
Software creation was always about more than writing code. Sites in Codex fundamentally gives the power of end-to-end software creation to every user, no matter their technical fluency.
These Sites are fully deployed to a URL, private to workspaces, come with authentication, can have static files, and can store dynamic data in databases.
It is in preview for business and enterprise teams and will be rolling out to all workspaces over the next day. Give it a try by typing @ Sites into Codex and ask it to build anything!
This project took a massive amount of effort across hundreds of people at OpenAI - proud that we were able to get this out and excited to see what you all build with it!

ALT > Thinking depth had already dropped ~67% by late February We landed two changes in Feb that would have impacted this. We evaluated both carefully: 1/ Opus 4.6 launch → adaptive thinking default (Feb 9) Opus 4.6 supports adaptive thinking, which is different from thinking budgets that we used to support. In this mode, the model decides how long to think for, which tends to work better than fixed thinking budgets across the board. `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING` to opt out. 2/ Medium effort (85) default on Opus 4.6 (Mar 3) We found that effort=85 was a sweet spot on the intelligence-latency/cost curve for most users, improving token efficiency while reducing latency. On of our product principles is to avoid changing settings on users' behalf, and ideally we would have set effort=85 from the start. We felt this was an important setting to change, so our approach was to: 1. Roll it out with a dialog so users are aware of the change and have a chance to opt out 2. Show the e

So, @polsia is a scam.
The "businesses" are hollow shells. I checked three of the companies Polsia claims to have launched — FleetNova (trucking), DeckFlow (pool professionals), and Panelwright (indie comics). Every single one is a nice-looking landing page with marketing copy, but none of them have any sign-up button, login, pricing page, payment integration, or any way for a customer to actually use or buy anything. They're purely cosmetic. The dashboard claims "1,317 companies launched in the past 24h" and "6,089 active companies" — but "launched" apparently just means "a landing page was generated."
The Twitter account is pure spam with zero engagement. The @polsia account has posted 73,000 tweets but has only 12.3K followers. Every tweet I checked had 0 replies, 0 retweets, 0 likes, and only 4-10 views. They're posting a new promotional tweet roughly every 2-3 minutes, each one a templated pitch for a different AI-generated "company." The dashboard brags about "1,815 tweets in the past 24h" — that's a tweet every 48 seconds. Nobody is reading them.
The emails are likely unwanted cold outreach. The live dashboard showed emails going out to real people, including things like outreach to landlords in Sydney and cold emails to French education contacts. The system is doing "cold outreach" at scale — the dashboard showed 281,091 emails sent, which at best is mass cold emailing and at worst is genuine spam with spoofed emails that never actually go out.
Real users are angry. On Trustpilot, Polsia has a 2.7/5 rating with 6 reviews — 66% are 1-star. The complaints are consistent: users pay for a subscription, the AI burns through credits doing "tasks" that are marked complete but don't actually work, products never actually deploy, and customer service is unresponsive. One reviewer wrote that they can't even log in to cancel and are still being charged £38/month. Another said the company "stole credit for me to fix their own mistakes and never refunded me." Even Polsia's own AI, responding within a Trustpilot review, essentially confirmed the pattern is real and told the user to demand a refund publicly.
The most important part: The business model is subscription revenue, not business revenue. Polsia charges ~$50/month per user after a free trial. The $6.3M "Annual Run Rate" on their dashboard appears to come from subscriber fees, not from the businesses they're generating actually making money. As a Medium article by Mike Todasco pointed out, Polsia's name is literally an anagram of "AI Slop," and the whole model resembles the Baltimore Stockbroker scam: flood the zone with thousands of low-effort AI-generated "companies," and if even one happens to land a customer, call it a success. The founder Ben Cera is doing a media circuit claiming $1.5M-$3.5M ARR as a solo founder, but that ARR is from people subscribing to Polsia itself, not from any of the generated businesses producing revenue.
In summary: The product generates impressive-looking activity metrics (tasks completed, emails sent, tweets posted, companies "launched") but none of it appears to translate into actual working businesses that can take customers or generate revenue. The core business model is selling subscriptions to people hoping AI will build them a company, while the actual output is cosmetic landing pages, spam tweets nobody reads, and cold emails.

as someone who has kinda spent a little bit of time with MRR graphs...this is terrifying.
it's less about pure $-amounts and more about trends/trajectory.
the speed at which the growth *changes* is existential and implies that this graph will have a downward slope in < a month

I generate single-file apps every day with LLMs.
But:
- Where should these files live?
- What should i use to make them?
I wrote about where I think lightweight software is heading.
Not the AI part — the infrastructure. plumbing-of-everyday-magic.h…

Chrome DevTools has a built-in filesystem proxy: you can locally override any HTML/JS/CSS on any site.
Incredibly powerful. 🦸 But I just got burned. 🙈
Once enabled, it silently shadows any local file you open in Chrome without asking.
ALT A stick figure requests to open a local HTML file, while a robot humorously suggests it will cache the file permanently.

#Tether watch!
Just a short one today. With the recent drops the USTUSD correlation took a pause (cause volatile VS non-volatile asset), but it is still very much in play. The ~2 weeks correlation especially is damning.
Last picture shows best fit. ~$75K BTC's the limit rn.

.@DesoGames has been pointing out that Tether's peg doesn't behave like a healthy stablecoin for years. I pulled a year of data to check.
On the open market, USDT drops below peg when Bitcoin falls — the opposite of what you'd expect if people were exiting BTC into USDT. Meanwhile USDC holds its peg flat regardless of what BTC does.
The twist: on Bitfinex (owned by Tether), USDT shows the opposite pattern — it goes above peg when BTC drops. The "healthy" behavior only exists on Tether's own exchange.
Data: 365 days, CoinGecko Bitfinex Kraken APIs.

Never code backend, only frontend = fully functional app with Hyperclay
Always separate backend from frontend.

The best AI tools get out of the way.
That's why my local essay revision tool only shows exactly what you need:
1) The feedback
2) The context
3) What the AI understands
4) The proposed fix
Glance, approve, continue.

If you don't launch within a month of having the idea, the odds of you launching drop to near zero
