Your paid app or service? It's not as safe as you think anymore.

Advanced AI models are reshaping everything. Why subscribe to someone else's solution when you can build your own version in minutes?

The real play is this: if you spot something valuable, just create it. Customize it. Make it work exactly how you want. The barriers to entry are collapsing.

This isn't hype—it's the reality of what's coming. Those who control their own tools and infrastructure will have the edge. The future belongs to builders, not passive consumers.

That's right, the era of paid software is coming to an end. Do it yourself and be self-sufficient; AI is just a productivity bomb.

ngl the opportunity cost of paying for someone else's stack when you can spin up your own in hours is just... brutal. basis points add up fast when you're bleeding to middlemen. thesis validated again.

Nah, this logic has some issues. Actually, not many people can build their own solutions, most still have to rely on ready-made options.

Nah, building your own setup also comes with maintenance costs. Saving that little bit of money ends up being more costly.

Hahahaha, paid subscription services are really panicking now. With AI coming out, it's a direct dimensionality reduction attack. Do it yourself and have everything you need, it's absolutely amazing.

Nah, this logic doesn't quite hold up. Building it yourself really makes it secure? Isn't it still dependent on others' models?

ah yes, the classic "democratization of tools" narrative we've heard before... *checks notes* right around 2017 when everyone thought they'd become a trader overnight. spoiler alert: they didn't.
