@doodlestein @0xLewis_gg baahahha, bro is selling markdown files
Everyone is slowly coming to this realization, and I assure you, no one is running multitudes of agents overnight. No one that is doing anything of substance at least. There _are_ people pretending to be scientists, or fully caught up in their drug infused AI overdose, that think their slop machines are changing the world. They're not tho, and they're just wasting a bunch of money and compute to create a lot of LoC that will just get thrown away. The state of the art is still "can we even one shot a production quality patch that we wont regret later", and its rarer than you'd expect based on discourse.

The co-founder of a $3B+ application monitoring platform says they budgeted $15k/month for each developer's Claude Code usage, and it's still not enough. @zeeg revealed that they allocated more money for devtools this year than they ever have in the history of their company. His own spend is somewhere around $200-300 a day, and he's still nowhere close to generating the ROI to justify that kind of usage. But his broader point is that we're still very early. Using the technology, learning it, and understanding the negatives and positives is what's really important at this moment.
There's a really high cost of duplicating code and we're all relearning that everyday with these coding agents. Until they get better at generating reusable code, bugs will run rampant. You can't "abstract it away" with more agents. You just get crappy software....
“UBI” is obviously nowhere near the panacea many of you seem to think it is. The median left-leaning Westerner isn’t angry at Elon Musk because he can buy a million times more groceries than them. They aren’t upset with Palantir because Peter Thiel can afford to eat a thousand burgers to their one. This whole thing is in large part post-material. It’s the hierarchy & subordination they’re uncomfortable with. They feel their dignity is being trampled and their autonomy progressively diminished – rightly or wrongly they feel politically disenfranchised and stripped of a say over the future. Offering a guaranteed food budget and a pod to spend the night in return for further disempowerment is incredibly tone-deaf and should be expected to provoke more, not less, outrage.
