from my experience, even the best models (Opus 4.6, 5.4 xhigh / 5.3 codex) cannot write good code today without an amount of work that is equivalent to just doing the work myself
am excited for a world where they can, but in the current state i have very low trust in them

@wholemars Tesla could be by far the most dominant Robotaxi service with the cheapest and best options. Tesla haters will refuse to take them.

Remember, Tesla launched with just 11 Supervised vehicles less than a year ago. Now they have more unsupervised cars than they had total cars on launch day.

After spending a lot of time with Cursor and Cloud Code, and then about two weeks now with Codex, they are completely different animals.
Claude Code is there to solve problems for you. It asks you a couple questions, but then it gleefully goes off and makes something. And if it's simple, it works great. But if it's complex, it'll make mistakes, it'll get confused, and frankly make a mess.
Codex on the other hand is very nervous about making any decisions incorrectly. It'll ask you a thousand questions and then after what seems like a millennia finally go off and start coding things which actually takes a millennia, two hours plus with all its little agents.
That said, the quality of codex is much higher, but the patience required is much higher. And that also means that the turnaround time is much longer. What I found myself doing is going quickly with Cloud Code and then asking Codex if it made a mistake and doing the pull requests.

I think I'm used to my brain getting rewired for writing code with AI.
Overall, it's more difficult. I switch from context to context on a bunch of different chats that I'm doing where the AI asks me questions or I help it investigate something. So I have to do a big context switch and then think somewhat deeply about what the problem is. I can actually feel my brain getting hotter. It's actually quite difficult.
On the other hand, I don't have the sort of wonderful serenity that when you get into a deep problem, that's just one issue. Debugging something deeply or trying to figure out an algorithm. There's something more pure and mathematical about that.
I don't like it as much, but I like getting more work done more, a lot more.

@jonclegg77 @Scobleizer No you can’t. Especially not with HW3. Stop being a loser and admire a very cool technology while respecting the literal life-or-death limitations it has. This does only harm to Tesla.

My reality is blurry.
But when I put on my Apple Vision Pro it becomes sharp.
But when you realize you aren’t seeing reality at all your mind gets freed.

@STittayz @SnazzyLabs @Scobleizer Yes, there is no way it’s a wildly different software than what I have.
I know this is triggering you, but it’s true.
English
@jonclegg77 @SnazzyLabs @Scobleizer And that build of the software is in your car, is it?
Oh, wait, no it isn’t and Tesla themselves say it’s a supervised system.
English

@jonclegg77 @SnazzyLabs @Scobleizer No you cannot be in the back seat.
It’s a level 2 system and you know that.

@Scobleizer This is such an incredibly selfish thing to do. Stop demonstrating wanton disregard for safety in the name of content. Incredibly stupid.

To był ostatni film jaki widziałem, w którym młody chłopiec nauczył się czegoś od mężczyzny.
W którym kobieta musiała stać się silną postacią, a swoich mocy nie uzyskała za fakt bycia kobietą.
W którym "dobro" musi ZABIĆ zło, zamiast je rozumieć i wykazać się empatią.
W którym bohater nie odpuścił ani na chwilę, cel był jasny, a koszt nie grał roli.
W którym przemoc jest związana nierozerwalnie z instynktem przetrwania.
Nie ma już takiego kina, które inspiruje, skłania do refleksji, daje wzorce i kształtuje mężczyzn. Jest tylko nijakość, ideologiczna breja i spłycanie wszystkiego.

🤯BREAKING: Researchers just mathematically proved that AI layoffs will collapse the economy: and every CEO already knows it.
The AI Layoff Trap. A game theory paper from UPenn + Boston University is glaringly important!
100K+ tech layoffs in 2025. 80% of US workers exposed. And no market force can stop it.
→ Every company fires workers to cut costs
→ Every fired worker stops buying products
→ Revenue collapses across every sector
→ The companies that fired everyone go bankrupt
It's a Prisoner's Dilemma with math behind it. Automate and you survive short-term. Don't automate and your competitor kills you. But everyone automating destroys the demand that makes all companies viable.
UBI (universal basic income) won't fix it.
Profit taxes won't fix it.
The researchers found only one solution: a Pigouvian automation tax "robot tax"
The AI trap on the economy is here!

@techdevnotes Private beta release is out to some users. Broader beta release in 3 days.

@0xglitchbyte Very true. AI gives you quick easy wins, but actually shipping a real product is still very hard.
English
You did not become technical af
You do not go from “I have no idea how to code” to “I shipped more than senior engineers!” in less than 6 months.
You shipped code you do not understand creating an insurmountable amount of tech debt you cannot fix potentially introducing bugs and other issues you cannot find.
English
@rickasaurus Our teams are like this. Half our engineers are still “AI curious”. Everyone else, including many technical people are making crazy stuff every day.
English
Crazy I'm still regularly talking with people who use copilot at work and are stuck coding like it's two years ago

🚨 IMPORTANT: Anthropic's CEO predicted that software engineers will be fully automated in 12 months In 12 months there will be two types of people: 1: those, who learnt AI Engineering in 6 months and found a job 2: those, who will be replaced with the help of these AI Engineers it's up to each person, control or be controlled
