Rob Hardy wrote about this phenomenon (it's not exclusive to indie hackers) and he call it "the pattern":

> If you’ve ever wondered why so much of the creator economy looks like a pyramid scheme—with course creators who teach other creators how to sell courses to creators who eventually sell their own courses on course creation to other unsuspecting creators—mimesis is at the heart of the matter.

From his article: The Ungated Manifesto: The Pattern, and the Battle for the Soul of the Internet.

Thank you for making this.

What's the number means near words in the results? For example "book 70k" what's 70k refer to? The number of discussions on Wikipedia about it? #s of Edits? Or articles that mentioned it?

> You can't hire enough legal and compliance experts to get it 100% right not to mention all the extra code you need to write.

You don't need to hire a team, just a company. A lot of companies offer this exact service now and effectively.

For example: Drata.

What confuses me about OpenAI is that, after poaching the copyright of so many sites to train their model, they expect those who use "GPT" in their product names to comply. They did this for Craiyon.com (their new name now), and unfortunately, I expect to see more of this legal hunting.

I'm glad that Reddit has finally asked for a piece of the cake and demanded a profit for their APIs and content.

The biggest hurdle that AI will face won't be a technical one, but rather copyright laws and EU guidelines.

The key differentiator in this digital magazine is that it offers science stories as told by scientists. And that's quite rare in a clickbait-y world.

I admire and respect you for that. Thank you really for building SumatraPDF.

Don't get me wrong. But if you're smart why you don't have your own company or business? Making a successful business in a capitalism atmosphere is not that hard for smart people. The thing that makes me wonder is cases like yours. Smart and and yet they are working for dumb or evil people.

Well, I'm smart, but very lazy, so in other words a programmer. We don't like to do work, and business seems like work. It just strikes me as odd that there's few people who are both smart and not lazy.

Not the OP.
