I also find this sentiment to be a uniquely American phenomenon. They tend to see racism and discrimination where it has no place being. My impression is that they have dreams about it. Bonkers to me.
As to my original point I'll go and say that 95/100 of business owners out there in the world don't have any idea about Claude Code, Codex or anything of that caliber. It's too early. By the time that group gets to it there'll be tools tailored to their needs, not a terminal-based coding agent messing up filesystem.
- The AI jump happened in Q3-Q4 2025 with Opus 4.5 so it's been six months or so? Not long enough.
- Most developers out there use AI for their coding work, not for re-envisioning business models.
I'll update UI for the table of contents in a moment.
As for LLMs, my vision for Wordspike’s not to replace human voice, but to act as a filter. It's an add-on to see what video content is valuable to watch in full. It's my attempt to built a counter-weight to the endless amount of shorts and slop I see online.
I built this because I have a love-hate relationship with YouTube. It's an incredible resource, but the platform's design makes it a major productivity trap. I wanted a way to get the knowledge without the time sink.
Wordspike takes any YouTube link and turns it into a clean, readable article with summaries and key insights. It also has a one-click "Send to Kindle" feature. I built the first version in about two weeks using React, Bun, Postgres, and Redis.
