'Sentience' is a live, intelligent dashboard mapping the entire AI ecosystem from silicon to software. It tracks real-time market sentiment and structural interdependencies across hardware suppliers and model builders.
Whether you're a casual observer trying to make sense of the AI boom or a trader looking for an advantage, it provides an instant visual read on the current state of the market. Instead of parsing endless news feeds, you can actually see the hidden dependencies driving the industry; It lets you track how a manufacturing bottleneck at Samsung ripples into Google's infrastructure, or how a breakthrough at Microsoft spikes demand for Micron memory.
Problems faced:
Building Sentience started with a full-blown war against X's scraping protections since they conveniently have no API. We tried throwing everything at it - standard cURL requests with our session cookie, Playwright browser automation, even setting up a reverse proxy to intercept and catch requests in-flight.
The reverse proxy was the only method that worked, but it was a scaling nightmare and totally infeasible for a live dashboard. We realized X is horrible and pivoted, falling back to a massive scrape of over 4,000 Reddit posts and comments to build a dataset.
