@JesseTylerSpeer @Govindtwtt lol. You really really think in a late stage capitalist society robots will make shit cheaper. Not in a month of Sunday’s. The people making the robots gonna rinse everyone for as much as they can and the people using them will rinse people for the diff too.

It’s not just replacing jobs and that’s it. Robots will replace jobs for a reason…they’ll be faster, better, and SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. All this means is that goods and services will cost MUCH MUCH less to actually make, and provide to the public. MUCH LESS! So much less, that humans will not need to make NEARLY as much money in order to live and buy things because of how cheap everything is. That’s it: Things cost much less because robots make them. People work less because they don’t need as much money. People can afford way more than they used to be able to afford…even though they’re working a small fraction of the amount of time.

Everyone says “AI will take all the jobs.” If that happens… how does this future actually work? No jobs → no income → no spending. So who buys things? Who pays rent? Who keeps the economy moving? What am I missing here?

@max_sixty Hey would you be open to sharing your bot setup for worktrunk? It seems incredibly efficient.

@max_sixty Thanks for sharing - what is running the bot user/claude though? Claude scheduling?

Vibe Coding IS Coding
van Schneider@vanschneider

Been “vibe coding” a lot lately and I agree it’s fun and will eventually become just “coding”. It comes natural to me as well since I’ve been yelling at devs my entire career and now I just yell at this thing instead. I expect this to be the biggest change for me personally. On the design front AI hasn’t been a big change for me just yet but I think that’s mainly due to too many tools which none of them do it perfectly yet. The flows are disjointed and slow. But I think that’s also because I have fairly high expectations and two decades of experience in legacy tools. If I’d be a new designer that would look totally different. The biggest change I notice as Creative Director is that I can take on a lot MORE execution work myself and the need for juniors explorative tasks is practically non-existing, which is a bit sad from the perspective of entry level positions basically dying out. I wouldn’t say however that my work got easier or faster, but I think that’s also because of personal high expectations, otherwise I could probably automate a lot more.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

Guys, it's time to have the conversation that @karpathy might be an idiot.
Kaito | 海斗@_kaitodev

5 minutes ago, @karpathy just dropped karpathy/jobs! he scraped every job in the US economy (342 occupations from BLS), scored each one's AI exposure 0-10 using an LLM, and visualized it as a treemap. if your whole job happens on a screen you're cooked. average score across all jobs is 5.3/10. software devs: 8-9. roofers: 0-1. medical transcriptionists: 10/10 💀 karpathy.ai/jobs

CANCEL your weekend plans. You NEED to: • Learn Claude Code • Learn Cowork (build 1-2 practical workflows) • Set up Perplexity Computer/Perplexity Finance • Optimise Cowork (plug-ins + skills) • Set up OpenClaw • Test Google AI products (Nano Banana 2, NotebookLM & more) • Experiment with basic agentic solutions (Manus) • Use AI to create a business plan/strategy/context files • Build an AI second-brain database (Notion) • Experiment with Notion Agents' *brand new* • Learn basic automation tools (MCPs, Zapier, n8n) • Learn prompt engineering - the better you can communicate with AI, the better your Outputs • Read AI articles • Dive into robotics • Research AI stocks/ETFs/investment arbitrages You have way too much to do...

i am using supermaven again and i have something to say about this whole AI thing. I think as a group (swe) we rushed so fast into Agents when inline autocomplete + actual skills is crazy. A good autocomplete that is fast like supermaven actually makes marked proficiency gains, while saving me from cognitive debt that comes from agents. With agents you reach a point where you must fully rely on their output and your grip on the codebase slips. Its insane how good cursor Tab is. Seriously, I think we had something that genuinely makes improvement to ones code ability (if you have it). Truly acts as a multiplier, and we left it in the dust because it is not sexy. hurts me on the inside.

Tried out @paper - It's like Figma. It has an MCP so you can connect it to an Agent and it can both push and pull design details and data in/out of it. Makes a ton of sense when your design app can pull real data from your database, or act on a ticket. It seems like it's built with HTML/CSS, so the heavy use of flex/grid to align stuff makes it easier to implement a design for the web. For some reason I thought it had some secret sauce that made your designs good though. You still need talent for that

Developers: pretending not to have any coding experience but secretly having years of coding experience is going to become an even bigger advantage
a16z@a16z

"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage." Replit CEO Amjad Masad: "You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner." "If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this." "Coders get lost in the details." "Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things." "I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur." @amasad with @jackhneel

@ortonomy_ @thestanduppod huh? Why the fuck would I need to run opus 4.6 to summarize or sort email? It's 100000% not needed at all. Much smaller models can do that easily and run fine on a Mac mini

@RhysSullivan This is great, but I need help. a) the video is not the same as the published tool b) the site says to add executor.sh as an MCP? but the opencode windows shows your agent writing code to call a function? So where does the MCP fit? Does this just glob mcps together?

I'm concerned we're entering a local maxima with CLIs, they're the wrong interface for agents The right interface is regular REST APIs with CIMD (same spec that MCP uses to allow for dynamic client registration) Your agent then writes code to interact with the API (like Cloudflare codemode) Think about how this works for humans today for the following action: "I want to set a DNS record on my domain" -> You Google "Vercel set DNS records" -> Docs page tells you what buttons to press -> You press buttons on a website, those call an API Now for agents, they search Google: -> "Set DNS record on Vercel Domain" -> they land on the same docs page, except it outlines what api endpoints are used as well -> the agent then calls those api endpoints for you, credentials are dynamically inserted where the agent can run them -> (optional) set auto approval policies / require approval of all non GET options by default You don't need separate interfaces for agents, nor do you really need separate skills for them CLIs have terrible discoverability, no input / output typing, they're harder to make profiles for for allowed / disallowed tools They work as a stop gap solution, but companies should be focusing on making good docs and APIs, not CLIs I've been prototyping this over at executor.sh (open source github.com/RhysSullivan/e…) if you want to play with what this world would look like - still early on it so appreciate feedback - open source and can run completely on your machine
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

CLIs are super exciting precisely because they are a "legacy" technology, which means AI agents can natively and easily use them, combine them, interact with them via the entire terminal toolkit. E.g ask your Claude/Codex agent to install this new Polymarket CLI and ask for any arbitrary dashboards or interfaces or logic. The agents will build it for you. Install the Github CLI too and you can ask them to navigate the repo, see issues, PRs, discussions, even the code itself. Example: Claude built this terminal dashboard in ~3 minutes, of the highest volume polymarkets and the 24hr change. Or you can make it a web app or whatever you want. Even more powerful when you use it as a module of bigger pipelines. If you have any kind of product or service think: can agents access and use them? - are your legacy docs (for humans) at least exportable in markdown? - have you written Skills for your product? - can your product/service be usable via CLI? Or MCP? - ... It's 2026. Build. For. Agents.
