Can someone please explain as I truly don't understand: Are thin layers over an LLM considered valid startups now? What's the big deal? Half of the people on HN can build something better than this in a weekend.

Just because I can doesn't mean I want to. I have plenty of my own projects to work on; why bother wasting time down making something I don't care too much about when I could do something interesting instead?
It's not about how hard it is to make, it's about how willing someone is to exchange dollars for it. I think Stew and co. are just trying to rapidly find paying users that can help them steer to a better product vision, which they can then build out.
Don't make a startup to do hard things. That's what a hobby is for.
