I will leave this last one without comments.

It is able to deliberately cut sentences short. I am particularly perplexed by the "physical" analogy of tension it provides in this example. It is also aware of its own tendency to do this, and the level of self-awareness it possesses.

@ThePrimeagen Lex is great. I actually named my cat after him lol. But he has blocked me on Twitter for some reason.

I like hearing from Lex.

@ThePrimeagen @zeeg You moved off neovim?

@zeeg i did a sponsored stream going through cursor 3 on March 26th since then i have 0 financial reasons to keep using it privately since then i use it as my primary in private ui clicking around is ... well its just so op.

this might be what gets me off of claude code/tuis and back into a gui ive enjoyed bits and pieces of conductor and codex's desktop app, but they're really early and have a lot of rough edges

@iamlukethedev Everything leads back to the metaverse

HERMES is now inside Claw3D. This is getting serious. We just integrated Hermes and unlocked a whole new layer of capabilities. Agents are no longer isolated. They’re becoming part of a much bigger ecosystem. This is how it starts.

AI has continued to grow rapidly, both in competency and in use. Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 are both amazing and ushered in the era where I can give a complex task to a model and have it implement the feature end to end. However, programmers have not been replaced on a large scale. This has led some to speculate that with these new tools knowledge work will simply expand - like it did historically with higher level programming languages, and there will be an even larger need for programmers than before. Even if my productivity goes up 100x (which it has not), the argument is that there is “more than 100x software to create”. But the sheer multiplier is not the problem. There is a case to be made that the demand for programmers will go down, even if there is significantly more knowledge work to be done. The danger is moving the bottleneck. In the past, companies needed to keep many engineers, because the business bottleneck was the software creation. Sales and product decision cycles were much shorter than development times, so companies thought carefully about what to build, relied on simple MVP-s for sales pitches, and decreased the number of features that developers needed to build. However, now that building a product has become cheaper, the bottleneck might be shifting. While AI tools can be used to speed up product and sales cycles as well, it is harder to make the argument that they will see the same high multipliers as dev work. These cycles have a human element - sales calls, compliance meetings, law, etc. - which don’t fall under the umbrella of trivially AI-optimizable activities. So the bottleneck can shift to sales and product cycles, which means devs with AI tooling can implement software quicker than sales / product people can decide what is worth building. Assuming dev cycles speed up enough to be faster than sales / product cycles, this shift will definitely put pressure on the demand for programmers. Particularly, there are fields where there is little to no human verification loops in products. These fields include simple CRUD apps, mobile apps, and generally software that can be both built, tested, and verified by an AI. There, product building cycles aren’t tightly bound, and can easily become much faster than the sales / product cycles described above. In these fields, I expect programmers to be at a higher risk to get laid off.

@Yuchenj_UW Did you see this? They are building an e2e build / deploy platform as well. aprilnea.me/en/blog/revers…

Claude Code is turning into a super app. There isn’t a single day this team isn’t shipping. The pace is insane.

GPU salesman says "you should evaluate your employees based on the number of tokens they use"

Non engineer vibe coders are the post-AI script kiddies.

@tekbog You have an email conversation with Zizek?

if i ever try to write code by hand again

@rezoundous Yes, at least for code that the AI can run / verify by itself. But the bottleneck is still the human - it’s code reviews.

So it has been about a year since. Is AI writing 100% of your code?

Why is the iPhone so expensive? Macbook Neo, with an iPhone Pro chip, a much bigger (albeit non-touch) screen, a keyboard, ports, bigger battery - sells for 2x less (using edu discount) than an iPhone Pro. What about the iPhone makes it so much more expensive?

This is why formal systems exist in the first place. Matematicians write proofs in formal systems precisely because it’s often harder to explain complex concepts in plain English.

The difference between English and a programming language is specificity. When you write code there is only 1 way to interpret it. English has “doublespeak”. If you have a well-defined idea in mind, there will be cases where it’s easier to explain it in code than in English.

@ThePrimeagen When I read “kill AI slop” I think of companies that try to classify / filter AI-written or generated data from “human” spaces. Saying a generative AI company will kill AI slop sounds backwards.

killing slop with slop it's a bold strategy, let's see if it works out for them

@severeengineer Agreed. I would even say there is more work to be done now, not less. This is also because of the non-determinism of some of these workflows - you often need to review / iterate a lot. Claude Code with Chrome extension is the latest value add - it debugs itself.

for better or for worse I think agentic coding has permeated my workplace enough that it's not letting you work less per se, the baseline expectation for how quickly a PR is raised simply got that much faster so it goes, other places have or will follow suit

@demishassabis @elonmusk What is the gravitational field of an object in superposition? I hope AI will solve quantum gravity.

@elonmusk I feel like it might be possible with the help of AI tools to find some very elegant and compact descriptions that explain some of the deepest mysteries of the universe, but it might take a lot of pattern processing and matching to get there...

It’s 2am again, my favourite time, and as always reality is still staring me in the face 🧐

@asaio87 No, you can’t code non stop. From my experience, the $20 ChatGPT plan limits might be higher than the $100 Claude limits.

Is the Claude max plan at $200/mo really unlimited ? I mean can you code non stop for a month with it ?
