"The biggest unlock of AI nowadays is how generative anyone can be, you can put stuff out everywhere, all the time. It clears the cobwebs, it puts products into the wild that fail or flourish."
Isn't it a very one-sided vantage point?
I mean, if many people generate *a lot* of things just to "clear the cobwebs," how does the end game look? It's tons upon tons upon tons of half-baked products (because hours/days, not weeks/months effort invested) fighting for our attention.
This necessarily means that, despite the AI promise, it will be increasingly more difficult to succeed. It will be like Spotify (and streaming platforms in general) but for digital products. We have "winner takes it all" with music:
* The most famous earn even more.
* The long tail, while we democratized their access to the audiences, can't make a living out of streaming platforms.
* Oh, and just wait till Spotify is flooded by AI-generated music...
I expect the same dynamics to apply to digital products. So, instead of cheerleading wanna-be founders, we should rather tell them, "Buckle up, it's gonna be a tough ride."
Damn, Ben. Just discovering your email newsletter now. It’s gold man! Thank you
Hey
Just wanted to share something I’ve been working on — a product I built called InfoBuzz.ai.
It’s a site that tracks and curates global AI updates 24/7 across the entire ecosystem.
Why I built it:
I was constantly overwhelmed by the amount of AI content out there —
new tools on Product Hunt, models on HuggingFace, research on arXiv, blog posts from OpenAI, tweets, Reddit threads, YouTube demos…
It became nearly impossible to keep up without spending hours every day.
So I built InfoBuzz because I wanted a single place where I could:
- Catch up with what actually matters in AI — fast
- Discover new models, tools, papers, and launches — all in one clean feed
- Stop switching between 10 different sites just to stay updated
What it does:
- Aggregates AI updates from Product Hunt, GitHub, HuggingFace, Twitter/X, Reddit, ArXiv, company blogs, YouTube, and more
- Categorizes by type: Model, Product, Company, Event, Paper, Policy, etc.
- Updates in near real-time — so you never miss anything important
- Has built-in search, filters, and source tracking
It’s still early and very much evolving, but I’ve been using it myself daily to stay in sync — and it’s already saving me a ton of time.
👉 If you’re curious, take a look: https://infobuzz.ai
I’d love to hear what you think.
Thanks for reading!

I read this as you have you own personal evals ;) care to share your main use cases and criteria for them?
