it's because this is just unverified slop that i doubt was thrown together by a human. Langfuse has ongoing conferences and is still used by many frameworks.
When a company is acquired, sometimes the company's products get a new lease on life, and sometimes the company's products are killed, or allowed to die.
Some of these acquired products aren't dead or even in maintenance mode though, they're still running. So it doesn't really make sense to include them in a graveyard, among the other very much alive projects like Streamlit and LangFuse, or missing dead projects like Sora.
This is just slop. I wouldn't give this too much attention.
Oh man, lots of dead ideas. Atm attention is more important than ever, cos delivering on ideas got easier. Getting the attention your product needs got harder
Did delivering quality really get easier? I'm certainly not seeing it in the software I use. Delivering scale doesn't mean the mission was executed well.
Judging from everyone I know, it will take people a lot of time to learn and accept a lesson from decades ago(one from before some of us were even born and I'm in my mid 30's): lines of code is a shit metric. Sloppers tend to believe that something seemingly working = production ready = good execution. And the metric, of course, is lines of code or "tokens". Until then, the list on this website will keep growing exponentially.
Seniors are no different and that infuriates me even more. The few times I felt lazy and let an AI do a simple function for me, all hell broke loose. I'm starting to think that many people were never that senior to begin with: Writing the code accounts for very little of what development requires and is often the easy part. Understanding the problem and finding the sweet spot/optimal compromise, edge cases and how you can break it is what has always been difficult. Seeing github explode with slop and github(microsoft/openai) themselves push even harder should be a wake up call for anyone that understands what development is: not writing the code but having someone else go through it, analyze it, understand the problem you are trying to solve and why you made the decisions that you made - that pretty much always takes a lot more time than writing the actual code. And then I see someone push 20 commits in a day, each being 5000 lines, jam packed with emojis and other slop and tell me that they carefully reviewed all of them? Yeah, that's bullshit, mate.
Just like how more RAM and compute in the cloud made us worse engineers (no need to turn your brain on to tune performance).
When the brain is off for one thing, it's off for the rest as well. There is a lot of talk about "we don't have to think about code so we can think of ideas", but that's not how it works. We just don't think.
They should put microphones in the cloud servers so you can hear the fans spin up when you run a program. It's a bit more impactful than a silent CPU usage graph.
e: Apologies, I had this confused for the other "dead tech projects" website posted recently that was similarly full of false information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47945955
To rephrase it: Please stop posting slop websites full of incorrect information.
It's like an invention that allowed anyone anywhere to sell chicken mcnuggets with no startup costs. Too many people love it, try stopping it. We automated listicles etc. and now we're going to be drowning in them.
> Microsoft's Bing search engine with AI-enhanced features The product has since been folded into Microsoft; visitors to the original URL are now redirected to copilot.microsoft.com.
What? Besides the fact that Bing was always a MSFT product, the LLM assisted search feature on Bing is still separate [0] from copilot.microsoft.com. At most it was a rename, though Copilot on the MSFT side is different from the one on Bing, is different from the one relying on your local TPU, is different from the one on Github... Great branding.
Even if the content was unreviewed LLM slop, I'd be hard pressed to find a model that outputs that Bing was bought by MSFT when at no point were the two separate.
Also, missing some of the greatest failures like Bard, Dia Browser, Sora, etc.
Just came here to say that https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io/ is still up and running, largely thanks to the hundreds of LLM based bots hallucinating product reviews for it.
I also, thanks to meat gpt, met a guy who sold his startup and pivoted to making beef jerky which sometimes he sells from under his coat pretending it’s drugs.
MeatGPT might’ve lost a competition to a site with perfectly rendered 3d sandwiches, but I’m not bitter, I’m umami.
We will be seeing more on this list and others very soon.
Most of these AI wrappers shouldn't be businesses and most of them are scams.
When OpenAI and Anthropic's TAM is any software business or anything that runs on a digital screen, the margins for every software business trends to 0.
Ditto for Weights and Biases.
Plus they aren't even AI products, but either have vigorous pre-AI use (W&B) or are completely non-AI but just used by lots of prototypes (streamlit)
This is just slop. I wouldn't give this too much attention.
This adds a tiny amount of value, sure, but enough to gamble millions on? Obviously not.
No wonder they failed
TBH I'm so arrogant, I always suspect there's redundant nonsense in any code module I haven't myself inspected. LLM code is no different.

seems up? then again, i do not know anything about the tool. maybe the marketing site is up, but the tool isn't?
