The problem with the Citrini Research AI doomer article that caused markets to crash yesterday is how much it assumes the big problem in many markets is how hard it is to write an app.

It argues anyone can now vibe code a delivery app so DoorDash is doomed.
That’s silly. Network effects matter.

@carnage4life I can see how these might become the 3D printer of software, and users will be able to make small specialty apps to suit their specific needs.
Maybe I lack imagination, but I’m working on a decently straight forward, medium-sized-at-best app, and I really can’t imagine a system that could vibe code something equivalent. Too many small decisions need to be made to make sure all the parts fit together properly.

The Citrini Rearch post covered many topics... I agree that the "death of DoorDash section" was not convincing to me. But I believe many of the points were convincing:
- AI will probably eliminate more high-paying jobs than it creates
- There has been a big market for smaller apps and tools that were built and sold to plug holes that were once difficult to code around, but not anymore
- The assumption that knowledge will always be a scarce resource is in question ... and much of our legal, economic, and political systems have that assumption baked in
- The pace of AI capabilities is accelerating and its impact is spilling over into many areas (not just software development and writing assistance)

@carnage4life So stupid that these folks think the success of Doordash or Uber was "making an app" and not racketeering.

@carnage4life "Yes, AI companies can and do build products with network effects, often creating powerful, defensible moats where the product becomes more valuable as more users contribute data or interact within the ecosystem. These AI-driven network effects include data flywheels (more data = better AI = more users), multi-sided marketplaces for agents, and collaborative platforms, as seen with OpenAI, Tesla, and GitHub."
