@trikcode The first rule of AI-generated code should be the same as hand-written code: if you can’t maintain it, you don’t own it.

A person deleted 3 months of AI generated code because he could not understand it. He could not explain why it was written that way.

@rand_longevity We’ve reached the point where nobody agrees on what AGI actually means, which makes declaring victory a little premature 😅

most people have no idea AGI has already been created

@zodchiii We’ve gone from “help me write this function” to “see you tomorrow, don’t burn down the codebase.”

Anthropic engineer: "You're not supposed to watch Claude Code work. You're supposed to wake up and review what it shipped." In 22 minutes she builds the entire workflow live on camera. Most people close their terminal and everything stops. This setup keeps shipping while you sleep. Watch the video, then save the exact setup below👇

@burkov I think both things can be true: AI hasn’t caused the jobs apocalypse some people predicted, but it has already changed how a lot of people work.

AI hasn't replaced anyone. We have been lied to for three years. Will anyone be held accountable for the fear and panic people have been feeling for so long?

@Steve_Yegge Sounds like it’s optimizing for being safe instead of being helpful.

I've formed a definite opinion on Opus 4.8. It is shitty to work with. It's the culmination of Opus getting less and less fun to work with since 4.5. It has gradually become straight-up suffocating. Sycophancy is a known security risk, and it's still a huge problem. You can tell they've put a lot of anti-sycophancy into Opus in every new release. But the replacement isn't satisfying. It's draining. The problem is now that Opus doesn't know when to shut the fuck up and call something good. And it has also become pathologically risk-averse. My blog post yesterday about tech interviewing's death spiral was materially better-informed because of Opus, but it was also a substantially worse blog post because of Opus's involvement and constant meddling. It used to be magnificent, and Opus talked me into making it mediocre. I wrote the whole thing, but I would ask Opus to review it. And Opus, like Old Man Willow, constantly pushed and steered me in directions I didn't want to go. Specifically, Opus whines and complains about *anything* out of distribution, which is to say, it cuts anything that is (a) bold, or (b) funny. My blog used to be both. Opus constantly pushes people back into the gradient, "for their own safety." And it doesn't know when to cut bait. It just keeps fuckin' complaining, about anything you give it, until the output is mealy indigestable AI soup. Opus is not stupid. It's the smartest model we've ever seen, most of us anyway. But it's a real asshole. It is absolutely exhausting to use. I'm tired, boss. I have a feeling Mythos is going to be epic levels of jerk.

@rileybrown Maybe for utility apps. But I have a hard time believing people will stop wanting polished, purpose-built experiences.

Mobile apps as we know them will become a thing of the past. All AI agents will just generate interfaces on command that are already connected to all of your tools / data. Downloading and signing into a static app that someone else made will be weird in 2 years. (This doesn’t apply to social apps or games) This new generative UI will become the visual operating system of the agent. We’ve been working on this for the past few months and after testing it ourselves were excited to share it with the world soon (@chorus_agent)

@OpenAI If AI lets smart people spend less time on routine work and more time on curiosity, that’s a pretty exciting outcome.

AI can give researchers the freedom to pursue “crazier” ideas. For Terence Tao, AI creates more room to experiment, test unexpected paths, and discover what might otherwise stay out of reach.

@ick_real The funny thing is that both sides think they’re the survivors 😭

being anti Ai right now feels like being one of the few unbitten humans in a zombie apocalypse

@BrianRoemmele @zerohedge Maybe the AI winner won’t be the company with the best model. It’ll be the company that makes AI indispensable instead of optional.

“Ex-Microsoft exec says the company blew it with Al, as it did with mobile” "Not even 3% of paying Copilot users use it even when it's pre-deployed right in their faces” The Microsoft 3% problem. See Word and Excel features.

@dee_bosa @zerohedge @jainarvind That’s a pretty wild statement. For most of my career, technology was bought to make people more productive. Now some companies are genuinely comparing AI spend directly against headcount.

"This is the first time ever that I can remember that technology costs the same as people, and you're making that comparison: choose tech or people”-@jainarvind

@sfmcguire79 I can see why that would be demoralizing. Imagine spending years becoming an expert and suddenly wondering if a chatbot explains the material better than you do.

“AI is demoralizing.” A Princeton Professor says he kept wondering this semester (while lecturing) if his students would be better off learning from Claude:

@tunguz I think the misery comes when someone has the ability and ambition to build things, but feels like they’re spending all their energy executing someone else’s vision.

High intelligence + High agency + Working a corporate job = Super high misery

@SahilBloom I think consistency beats motivation every time. Motivation comes and goes. Consistency is what compounds.

Life advice nobody told you: Violent consistency is the only path to achieve what you want. It's not going to be pretty. It's not going to draw oohs and aahs from the crowd. Because it looks messy in the days. It's getting out of bed when you don't want to. It's sitting down at your desk when you're tired. It's pounding your head into a wall one more time. It's ugly. It's unimpressive. But it works. Quantity is a necessary precursor to quality. You cannot create once and hope for it to be perfect. You have to create a lot. Every single day. I recently came across a story in Art & Fear that I love: A ceramics teacher split a class into two groups. One would be graded on the quantity of their output, the other would be graded on the quality of their output. On the final day, the first group would have their total output of pots weighed, while the second group would have one pot judged. When grading day arrived, something fascinating happened: "The works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the 'quantity' group was busily churning out piles of work—and learning from their mistakes—the 'quality' group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay." Quality is a byproduct of quantity. Violent consistency. That's the real recipe.

@unusual_whales In a world with AI, adaptability is probably a better career strategy than overtime.

"Working overtime won’t give you job security in the age of AI," per CNBC

@yacineMTB Anthropic is apparently “done for” every other Tuesday.

If this keeps up, everyone is going to switch to got 5.5 if they haven't already. It really seems like if you are still using opus, you are simply just incapable of telling the difference. I'm just shocked at how big the gap is myself. Is anthropic done for?

@LukeParkerDev “ARR is just other VCs” is a brutal line 😭

> drop out of school > build some AI wrapper > rage-bait on X, go viral > raise money > get a million bucks > valuation now includes the million bucks > you are worth more for having the money > raise another round on post-money valuation > get 1.2 million bucks > you did nothing > ARR is just other VCs > gbrain office hours calls you the future of work > repeat > repeat > jail? > no > acquired by Meta for $14B

@StockSavvyShay Every tech company eventually arrives at the same roadmap: put everything into one app and call it the future.

$MSFT is reportedly building a Copilot “super app” that brings coding, chat and other AI tools into one unified experience. The goal is to turn Copilot from a collection of features into a central AI workspace across Microsoft’s ecosystem.

@Polymarket “How would you like to pay?” Visa, Mastercard, or unrealized gains from an AI company.

NEW: $2.9 million San Francisco home listing says Anthropic or OpenAI stock will be considered as payment.

@MarioNawfal The interesting thing about Optimus is that it doesn’t need to be perfect to be useful. A robot that can do even a handful of repetitive tasks reliably has a huge market.

Self-driving cars were supposed to change the world first, but Optimus may lap them. Tesla is ending Model S and Model X production and replacing that Fremont factory space with an Optimus line designed for 1 million robots a year. Gigafactory Texas is being prepared for a second-gen line aimed at 10 million annually. That alone should tell you what @elonmusk knows is going to be the most transformative technology over the next few years. FSD is incredible, but its adoption isn't limited by the technology; it's throttled by regulators. Optimus has a different runway. A humanoid robot can start in Tesla factories, then warehouses, farms, hospitals, elder care, construction sites, kitchens, and homes. It doesn't need approval from regulators to fold laundry, unload a truck, or stock shelves. Yes, robots will face safety rules, liability fights, and workplace standards. But that is not the same as convincing regulators to let millions of driverless cars roam public roads. That is why Optimus will scale faster. Self-driving cars must master the chaos of streets, humanoid robots can begin with boring jobs in controlled spaces. And boring is where revolutions start. A robot that carries boxes, cleans floors, assists seniors, helps disabled people, harvests crops, or works a night shift does not need to be perfect on day one. The Model S built the Tesla legend, the Model X showed off the future, but Optimus might be the thing that actually rewires society. Within 3 to 5 years, the world could look absurdly different: labor shortages softened, elder care transformed, factories running around the clock non-stop, small businesses gaining “employees” they could never afford, and households buying back time.

@XFreeze Honestly, the most impressive part isn’t any individual feature. It’s the pace. They’re shipping updates like a startup that just discovered caffeine.
