As a parent to two young kids and in more of a leadership position at work, Claude allows me to grind through my backlog of ideas in minutes between other tasks, and see which ones take flight.

I personally observe AI creation phenomenally good code, much better than I can write. At insane speed, with minimal oversight. And today’s AI is the worst we will ever have.

Progress in AI can easily be measured by the speed at which the goalposts move - from “it can’t count” to “yeah but the entire browser it wrote didnt compile in the CI pipeline”

Batshit crazy?

3 years ago LLMs couldn’t solve 7x8.

Now they’re building complex applications in one shot, solving previously unsolved math and science problems.

Heck, one company built a (prototype but functional) web browser

And you say it’s crazy that in the future it’ll be able to build a mail app or OS?

Could be. It could also end up freeing us from every commercial dependency we have. Write your own OS, your own mail app, design your own machinery to farm with.

It’s here, so I don’t know where you’re going with “I’m unhappy this is happening and someone should do something”
