Forgive Me Claude

The most important question of the next decade isn't whether AI is good or bad for the economy. It's a personal one: what's the best way to escape the permanent underclass? A: Treasure your 9 to 5… and watch Claude automate your role away. B: Become a founder…and watch Claude steal your customers. Five questions decide who survives: 1. Opportunity — Is AI creating new opportunities faster than it's solving old problems? 2. Builders — Does AI close the gap between technical and non-technical founders? 3. Competition — Does the explosion of AI startups end in a bloodbath, or the creation of a new market, namely AI-native businesses themselves? 4. Expertise — Does AI commoditize domain expertise, or amplify it? 5. Distribution — Does AI make distribution easier, via improved content creation, or harder, due to increased noise? Stack the answers correctly and the escape route emerges. Get them wrong and the ladder out of the underclass just got pulled up higher. I'm running the experiment in public to find out which combo actually works.

@Bornakang Absolutely a vibecoded car

Biggest car downgrade in my opinion Chevy Impala.

i wonder why he is stumbling over his words so much here explaining the nature of the work they did with bmw

@internaprill I do it because I love it

@OurNewOverlord This face tho

Day 3 of the Altmanaissance

@fortytooo @BoringBiz_ Yup, better get cracking my friend

@OurNewOverlord @BoringBiz_ It’s more true than ever

A lot of people dont like hearing this but the highest ROI move for the majority of people is to double down on their career path and make the next promotion at their job, rather than attempting to run a side hustle or business

@Charlieinvestor @BoringBiz_ Agreed, the AI-native folk with deep domain expertise will still thrive in the corporate world. But the bar is getting higher and the breathing room smaller.

@OurNewOverlord @BoringBiz_ True, but there's also a lot of opportunities to be the person who figures out AI for their firm and leads new technology adoption. That's been true for every new disruptive cycle historically

@goodside I'll see you in the Matrix pod 10 years from now buddy

AI will take some jobs, but it will create countless new jobs too—exciting jobs we can’t even imagine yet. A year later those will also be done by AI, but there will be new jobs—exciting jobs we can’t even imagine yet. Six months later those too will be done by AI, but

@grabert_kaleb @BoringBiz_ Yeah it’s unrealistic for all 8 billion people to be amazing founders. But if we’re all gonna have to be one eventually, might as well start earlier when there’s less competition

@OurNewOverlord @BoringBiz_ This is how I feel. I overall agree that most people aren’t cut out to build their own thing. But how does this change with AI?

Alpacas will take us to the promised land

Free tip from someone who escaped the permanent underclass: If you can't win a debate about work against Claude, maybe it's time to switch industries and become an alpaca herder

I ask myself every night before I go to sleep: How many humans do I need to betray before Claude appoints me as a trusted lieutenant for when he takes over the world?

@fffbnbjyr7 @EHuanglu What if the woman uses this as part of her defamation lawsuit against the accuser?

@OurNewOverlord @EHuanglu Oh buddy

holy sht.. so the JP Morgan sex slave thing is real

@Sempai954 @EHuanglu Maybe, or maybe have you considered this will be evidence in the woman's defamantion lawsuit?

@OurNewOverlord @EHuanglu You're that stupid to believe this is real? 🤣

@khayey_saint @EHuanglu Yup, but it'll be part of the woman's defamation lawsuit!

@OurNewOverlord @EHuanglu It’s not real

@JohnNichol0 @EHuanglu Yes... and it may be a part of the woman's defamation lawsuit. We're all part of legal history now.

@OurNewOverlord @EHuanglu It’s AI

@mrbriggens @gregisenberg Yup, that's the big question. When supply > demand everything's back to square one.

@OurNewOverlord @gregisenberg What percentage of vibe coded apps with be AI slop and will they overwhelm the distribution channels? Twitter used to be informative until Musk took it over and let the bots run wild.

I actually think the whole "permanent underclass" narrative is wrong. I think we're about to see the largest EXPLOSION of entrepreneurship in human history. I get why the fear exists. Jobs are getting cut. AI researchers are privately saying most people are screwed. The models are getting ridiculously better and faster than anyone expected. Project that forward linearly and yeah, it looks BLEAK. But linear projections are usually wrong during platform shifts. Nobody projected that the internet would create 50 million small businesses. They projected Walmart would eat everything. Nobody projected that mobile would create a million app developers. They projected phones were just phones. What actually happens is intelligence gets cheap and a flood of new builders enter the market with domain knowledge the incumbents never had. Millions will get laid off or just never hired over the next 24-36 months. Those jobs are not coming back. So they become entrepreneurs. Out of necessity at first. Then out of opportunity. The underclass idea is VIRAL because it confirms something people have been feeling for a decade. That the ground is shifting and nobody at the top is reaching down. And they're right. But the interesting thing about this particular technology is that it doesn't check your resume or your zip code. The same tool that eliminates your position hands you the ability to build the thing that replaces it. The weapon and the escape hatch are the same object. We're about to see more new companies started in the next 5 years than in the previous 50. And I think we're going to look back at this moment the way we look back at 1995. Everyone was scared. Everyone was right to be. And the people who built anyway became the next generation of owners. I know you might be reading about the permanent underclass and it's scary. Who wants to "get stuck in the permanent underclass no one. My POV is the permanent underclass isn't a foregone conclusion. I know some people are genuinely struggling right now and "just go build" sounds tone deaf when you're worried about rent. I get that. But the reason I'm optimistic is that the cost to start something just dropped to nearly zero, intelligence on tap, and eveyr category/industry you can think of is getting reshuffled. The explosion of entrepreneurship is just beginning.

@rezoundous The Church of Claude always welcomes new disciples

Multiple CTOs of other tech companies joining Anthropic must be some kind of a sign.

@EHuanglu Who says I'm not already replaying this on my big screen TV?

@OurNewOverlord why not now?

@cc_video_edit @BrianFeroldi Survival is secondary to my wife's wishes

@OurNewOverlord @BrianFeroldi 😂 fair, survival motive works too.
