What’s the first job AI will completely replace?

@NoahKingJr well, intelligence was never the scary part. autonomy is

What’s coming after Artificial intelligence?

@TzYuiro @beffjezos @elonmusk @iScienceLuvr I think it’s more of a black-and-white view.

@desunit @beffjezos @elonmusk @iScienceLuvr Not for participation in academics. The scientists of global liberal democracy are just priests of a dying order at this point.

This sort of mindset is probably why xAI failed to catch up to other frontier labs. If he wants to make SpaceXAI into a frontier lab, hope he changes his mindset. Though being a cloud provider is probably something they can easily excel in anyway lol (Colossus is impressive!)

@catalinmpit kids can detect synthetic affection instantly

At least AI won’t replace me as a father.

Found a fascinating neuroscience article about repetition and learning We grew up hearing: repeat things to remember them better But the article says that repetition doesn’t just make memory "stronger" globally, it changes which brain systems carry the memory over time. The hippocampus (the fast-learning part of the brain) stayed relatively stable. But the cortex is where repetition really amplified reactivation. It means: the brain starts transferring repeated information into more stable long-term systems. After learning something, your brain keeps replaying it during quiet rest. Not only during sleep but even during simple wakeful downtime. That moment when you stare outside the window after reading something important your brain may still be working. This process starts almost immediately after learning. The study also suggests repetition can rescue weak encoding. Even if you didn’t fully understand/absorb something the first time, repetition + replay can still help stabilize the memory. That explains a lot: - why rereading books helps - why practicing scales works - why revisiting ideas matters - why children need repeated stories - why habits shape identity slowly The brain seems optimized less for intensity and more for repeated exposure over time. Hippocampus is "fast learner" and Cortex is "slow builder" and repetition is the BRIDGE between them. That’s why consistency beats motivation so often!

I have several apps - one native Android and another native iOS, each with a completely different codebase. I’ve regretted that decision many times. At the same time, I also have a couple of React Native apps - and compared to maintaining two separate native apps, I’m actually quite happy with React Native.

@desunit True, but this tradeoff is now much less impactful with AI. But yeah for sure, I'm happy that I'm just doing IOS now

best decision I've done building mobile apps is to use Swift instead of Expo can't even begin to describe how better the experience is

@beffjezos @elonmusk @iScienceLuvr so finishing something is bad? for me it's actually signaling: - discipline - ability to survive hard long-term problems - independent research skills - obsession level focus

@elonmusk @iScienceLuvr Finishing PhD is an anti-signal in many cases. If you didn't learn to go to drop out go to industry and build real things, then you are probably too theory-pilled

Also could simply be a small numbers problem. With only 3 users... with Apple trials, users can cancel on day 1 but still keep access until day 7, so from your side it may look like "everybody canceled on the last day" while they may have actually opted out immediately. At very small scale, a few users can completely distort the perceived retention/conversion picture.

In my app, 3 users purchased the 7-day free trial subscription They used it continuously for 6 days, then on the 7th day all of them cancelled the subscription As a solo founder, this hurts How do you handle this situation?

Almost the whole previous year, I was using Cursor intensively, and I could say that almost all the code was written with AI. That’s how I built the MVP version of KidTeller. But after January this year, everything changed. The models became so good that I basically stopped writing code myself at all - though I still spend a lot of time planning/reviewing/thinking through architecture and product decisions.

@elgermerlo @stripe @dodopayments Depends on the region … where stripe is not available

What's the best? @stripe vs @dodopayments

@bettercallsalva @tdinh_me 💯

@desunit @tdinh_me fast loses its edge once the task needs reasoning that holds across edits. opus is slower but the threads connect better.

Tried Composer 2.5 on a semi-complicated task, the result is far worse than Opus 4.7 High or GPT 5.5 High. But it was fast.

@degenmitch @flabbytofit99 it'll pass! I was there, and the wait isn't that long.

@flabbytofit99 Easy to say for someone who isn't dealing with a child that doesn't sleep and therefore you don't sleep. Easy to be positive when your basic needs are being met.

I used to count down the hours until bedtime. 1 PM: "Only 7 more hours." 4 PM: "Only 4 more hours." 7 PM: "Only 1 more hour." I was just trying to survive until the kids went to sleep and I could finally have peace. Sound familiar? Here's what changed everything for me: I stopped saying "I HAVE TO" and started saying "I GET TO." **HAVE TO vs. GET TO:** ❌ "I HAVE TO change another diaper" ✅ "I GET TO take care of my kids while they're little" ❌ "I HAVE TO answer a million questions" ✅ "I GET TO teach them about the world" ❌ "I HAVE TO clean the kitchen again" ✅ "I GET TO have a home and food to provide" ❌ "I HAVE TO deal with tantrums" ✅ "I GET TO shape how they handle emotions" ❌ "I HAVE TO put them to bed" ✅ "I GET TO tuck them in and tell them I love them" --- This isn't wacko positivity. It's reality. One day, they won't ask you to play. One day, they won't need you to tuck them in. One day, they'll be gone. One day, they won’t ask to be carried to bed. And you'll wish you could go back to the chaos. The shift from "have to" to "get to" doesn't make parenting easier. But it makes it meaningful. It reminds you: This is temporary. These moments won't last. So when you're frustrated (and you will be), pause and ask: "Am I seeing this as a burden or a blessing?" You GET to be their dad. Not everyone has that. Act like it.

@robj3d3 I haven't noticed that. I've come across people who still believe that AI is just a hype and will eventually fade away.

"it looks vibecoded" isn't an insult anymore. Everyone is vibecoding. You mean to say it looks like it was one-shot.

@alexwtlf Isn't that just part of the game? You're going to have copycats sooner or later anyway.

Build in public is dead. every time you ship something cool, 100 copycats appear the next day. or a seed startup just releases your exact feature. at this point, builders are just doing free work for people with better distribution

@DanielSmidstrup distribution

I am a founder scare me with 1 word

@levelsio @X Got that too. Ursula von der Leyen sends Hello to everyone!

I got a message on @X from the 🇪🇺 EU today!

@levelsio @DanielBCNA @javilopen @nikitabier Hm, I’ve also noticed that I can’t reply to some of recent tweets

@DanielBCNA Weirdly you should be able to reply to my tweets because @javilopen follows you Maybe @nikitabier can help

Quiero poder responder a @levelsio en sus tweets, alguien a quien seguir / que me siga para conseguirlo?
