I Fought AI: A Guide to 14,983 AI Engine

What it does

Before anyone mapped the AI landscape, I went through it myself. 14,000 AI tools. Manually checked. One by one. This book is the raw, honest account of that journey — what I found, what broke me, and what I learned about where AI is actually heading. It led to the GAIT 69 taxonomy (peer-reviewed, DOI assigned), the AI MAP app, and the follow-up book covering 6,494 verified engines. This is where it all started. Kindle $3.99 | Paperback $14.99 on Amazon. Also on Gumroad.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
