This is true in my personal experience and observing my peers.
9 months ago, after rapidly tackling a gnarly project with Cursor for the first time, I wrote that AI would create a socioeconomic gap, not raise the tide for all knowledge workers (link threaded).

hot take :) The biggest and most productive people in the AI era are the folks who are already good at their jobs. AI as a multiplier, not an equalizer/democratizer

One of my first projects @vercel was writing the first Workflow SDK announcement with @pranaygp for Ship AI last year.
100 million runs later, we ran it back for the GA launch, but the product did most of the talking this time.

Vercel Workflows is GA. Your code is the orchestrator. Ship agents, backends, or any long-running process without managing queues, retries, or workers. vercel.com/blog/a-new-pro…

“It’s since written every line of code I’ve shipped, including itself.”
Nico Albanese@nicoalbanese10
3 months ago I started building a coding agent that runs in the cloud. It's since written every line of code I've shipped, including itself. Today, I'm open sourcing it. Introducing Open Agents.

AI will unleash human creativity in unprecedented ways, but I'm starting to believe that it will make people worse at writing, not better.
The promise is quality output with less work, but that makes the learning curve for actual writing skill steeper, and the discipline to improve was already rare.
At a minimum, writing will deviate to a homogenous mean—something people are already starting to notice.

@jenny_wen And then there are times when you think, "what if the clothes were all plastic and we could just hose them down throughout the day"

@itunpredictable Lots of money to be made. Going beyond basic slop isn't hard, but most companies still don't do the simple stuff.

If you are a writer there is a massive opportunity over the next 12 months to start a consultancy helping companies get their models to speak in a particular voice that isn't sloptone. unsolved technical problem that is becoming ever more important

@sonofalli @maticrobots Perfect timing. My kids just started asking for a dog, and this might be the most monumental win-win in parenting history.

@thejustinwelsh Life is unpredictable, so I'd value contentment over desire for simplicity, but yes, being happy with the simple things keeps you from mentally living in a theoretical future.

A very underrated life decision is marrying someone who wants a simple life.

Regardless of where you land on UX clarity discussion in this thread, that topic itself misses the most important point: Notion agents mean this is a solved problem, real or perceived.
Paris Rouzati@parisrouz
Notion has turned into a very overwhelming product.

Slack’s new AI stuff is somehow both too prominent, and not discoverable enough
Don’t know how they do it

I had the chance to chat with @alecswjo and the @floraai team for this story.
The times are a-changin', and meeting thoughtful, empathetic people behind AI is a treat.
Vercel Developers@vercel_dev
Long-running jobs, high token usage, and expensive failures make image generation a hard orchestration problem. @floraai launched FAUNA for creative exploration, and it uses Workflow SDK to reliably power thousands of agent workloads in parallel. vercel.com/blog/how-flora…
