Sharing it again because it is genius: (from The Almanack of @Naval Ravikant)

Yesterday I did a thread on Argentina's regional personalities A few Brazilians showed up in the comments like "you should do Brazil, we're WAY more diverse" Fine. Challenge accepted Let's talk about how Brazil is basically a mini world in and of itself 🇧🇷🧵

Yes. There's a difference between: 1. AI is human-level at everything we have great training data on and can easily verify success / failure on. [But can't learn in the real world, needs enormous data, can't generalize beyond training set, etc..] & 2. AI can figure out novel problems like humans can, on as little data. We have 1 or something fairly close to it. It's incredible. It's valuable. It's changing the world. We still haven't absorbed what we have. It's not AGI. We don't yet have 2. That's AGI, or at least much closer to it.

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it. It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways. Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo... Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all. So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design. They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job. Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before. Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

eu nunca tinha ouvido o professor Clóvis contar essa história, mas acredito que se passou exatamente desse jeito por causa de uma experiência que eu tive.

@andreeler História animal! Obrigado por compartilhar. Também não conhecia.

TL DR: Continous learning, experimenting and building like a child will give you the clarity, joy and peace just like a child & an added bonus of competence that will make you a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention it makes you develop highly valuable skills for life.

@yoemsri They built the machines, got briefly replaced by people writing glue code for 15 years, and now the machines are giving the field back to them. Poetic justice.

@AFS_Andrada Cláudio já roubou o emprego dele.

@DruRly "autotelic" - will keep this word

@coproduto tempo e energia

Qual o seu sonho de consumo atual?

@JessePeltan Human intelligence included?

It’s very difficult to predict what’s going to happen with the singularity, but we can be pretty sure that matter, energy, and intelligence are still going to be important.

The greatest barrier to AI adoption may be the speed at which AI changes.

@maxi_moxa we need to take care of kids

why do kids learn languages effortlessly but adults need apps and teachers to fail at the same thing

hardware is so unforgiving. software is child's play. literally a playground of unicorns and rainbows.

benchmarks yada yada the vibes always win and Claude is unbeatable

@samomokan finding out. loved the article. thanks.

@fausto_st im unrealistic. you?

"Admitting What Is Obvious" by @danshipper is a banger ... needed to read this today

@samomokan Have you found out what you obviously are?

@maxi_moxa I believe so.

@fausto_st do we?

if databases need constraints why don't we

@andreasproesch lol

Future of computing: This keyboad + a microphone

@coproduto @fmagranero @MorenoMarceloR @BolhaDevs @enrichthesoil @ocodista farei meus testes em breve tb então... valeu pelo incentivo!

@fausto_st @fmagranero @MorenoMarceloR @BolhaDevs @enrichthesoil @ocodista Pode, pode inclusive trocar pra tarefas diferentes ou usar algo tipo OpenRouter

Na real, openclawd ou crewai ? @BolhaDevs @enrichthesoil @coproduto @ocodista
