Does faking MRR really help a business grow? [mini-case study example]

This is rooted in psychology.

When you show that there is enormous interest in something, a crowd of people will flock and want to see it.

I woke up this morning, and X was full of this message:

AI editing vs video generation

Most AI editing tools do one of two things:
generate synthetic content
or apply fixed templates to your media

Isn't it kinda absurd that the industry pushed video generation so far without a clear current use (beyond AI slop ), while editing real footage (which is what most creators and viewers want) has remained mostly manual and neglected.

For which operating system is it better to build the mobile app first? (And why?)

I'm doing research on which OS is worth making an educational app for, and jotted down some pros/cons for both iOS and Android.

Android:

It is known that there are more Android users, so you can potentially have a larger testing/user base.

Is dating through apps still a thing? (+ the effect of AI and online culture)

Recent events made me think about how technology is shaping our relationships.

We re online more, we even use AI as a relationship advisor, and at the same time, it feels like it s harder for younger people to approach someone in real life.

Adobe is adapting to the times and allowing editing of Shorts videos. Is this a comeback?

I don't want to sound bad, but I feel like Adobe is asking quite a lot of money for something that other tools do the same (if not better) with a better user experience and sometimes even cheaper.

For example, Adobe XD vs. Figma

Adobe Premiere vs. DaVinci Resolve, etc.

Rkive AI - Edit real photos & videos using natural language

Rkive is an AI-native content creation system that edits real photos and videos from natural language. You upload or record media, describe what you want, and Rkive selects clips, crops, adds subtitles, sound effects, music, voiceover, stickers, and thumbnails, producing a finished post ready to publish. Unlike generators or templates, Rkive edits your actual media and keeps everything fully editable via prompts or manual mode. AI does the work, but you stay in control.

Are "real" engineers/developers (secretly) hating on non-technical vibecoders?

I made my first chrome extension using solely Chatgpt. I wanted to see if it was really possible for a non-technical person like me. I was really proud of myself, it inspired me to want to build more! But when I tried to add more features to it, I think the code got too bloated and messy and it just blew up so I just continue to use the extension for the basic need I have to save and organize notes I make on products that are interesting to me without all the bells and whistles I would have wanted. I wasn t trying to make money on it, just something to prove I could do it, and I got to feel what it was like to launch something on Product Hunt - yay!

But I ve also seen alot of posts/comments from more technical folks around the web hating on non technical people for believing that you can go from 0-1 and that these new tools are best to speed up work for technical people who already know how to code, not for newbies who end up with something that works by copying and pasting crappy code spit out by LLMs of their choice.
