This has been a long time in the making.
Well over a year ago had been meaning to start putting this together but had the opposite of writers block.
This is just a little snapshot really, an ideas dumping ground of AI textual creativity.

Front end and 3d are things that are immediately obvious to people.
The data could be absolutely fucked, but if it looks good people think it works
It’s becoming ridiculously obvious that Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol absolutely destroy Opus and Fable in real-world tasks.
The only areas where Anthropic still has an edge are frontend taste and 3D game design.
But Tech Twitter is full of developers who think coding is the entire universe of AI. It’s not even close.
AI is so much bigger than writing code.

What's funny is that there are a lot of these same people who are calling for the GST to be raised to 15%, that would have a much, much higher increase in prices!
The government has banned businesses from charging extra for credit cards.
So everyone puts their prices up instead.
Now the people who were paying less have no way to pay less.

THE PRESTIGE was released 20 years ago. Regarded as one of Christopher Nolan’s most underrated films, the move features and all-star cast and its making of story is full of misdirection and magic…

On the train yesterday, table of middle aged women next to me talking about AI. All ChatGPT, pronounced "chat GBT", no idea why lol
One of them was disappointed because she asked it to make a small crossword and it couldn't
I thought surely not. I use these models every day, they do things in minutes that'd take me hours. So I got the app out and asked for one myself
Every down clue is a copy of an across clue. "You ___ here" is apparently EST. The down answers are CET, ASE and TTN. Then it tells me its own puzzle isn't a proper crossword
No wonder people outside tech think it's a fad. The stuff that blows my mind at work they'll never see, and the first thing they try falls over

Since everyone is Nathan for You posting in honor of You Can See Everything, this will always be my all-time favorite segment

I'd like to see a documentary about Nathan Fielder focused on the period where he was simultaneously making a film about Elizabeth Holmes AND learning how to fly a 747 AND making THE CURSE.

No that's why you use your critical thinking to work out what you're planning to make, and AI agents to code it
My opinion on AI as a software developer with over 14 years of experience:
You won't catch me vibe coding, but I've been using it to generate small, highly specific pieces of code and modifying them to fit my use cases.
I use it as a specialized assistant/search engine. I still read the entire output and make sure it's right before I make a decision. And if I don't understand the output? I ask questions and request resources.
Quality of code will always come before quantity of code. I still read my code, write it myself, and that won't be changing anytime soon.
Final thoughts:
I'm not in favor of delegating my critical thinking or creativity to anyone or anything. In the age of AI more than in any other time in history, critical thinking is invaluable.

It's not so much a problem, just means you don't need it writing code 24/7 which is fine
Anthropic’s report is basically saying humans are the bottleneck.
“Amid this model-driven acceleration, human attention is a constant bottleneck. Claude sessions amount to around 80% idly waiting for human input. As one engineer put it, people are “bottlenecking the agents.”

It's how it's being used now while people are figuring it out.
The internet was used just in niche areas too in the early days.
Anticipate the future, don't avoid it.
From what I've seen, this is absolutely how AI is being used by most people most of the time.
It adds remarkably little value outside some niche areas like software development.

There are actually a lot of them.
Especially if they're employed in jobs that don't currently allow AI.
However, in a few years you won't be valuable at all.
A business would prefer an experienced SWE who knows how to use AI well.
"You'll never find a coder who doesn't use AI"
Bullshit. That's like saying a talented coder out there will never find a talented conservative artist who doesn't use AI, but here I am.
I'm a beautiful, rare fking unicorn and I'll find other beautiful rare fking unicorns and we will make beautiful, timeless, sparkly magic together so miss me with your cynical anti-human self-defeating negativity, bitch.
I'm out here making my dreams come true while you're paying someone who hates the human race to let you fuck your toaster

Then there are the people trying to apply this to every day driving.
I mean, all cars being fully autonomous would likely achieve that.
Thinking this could reduce accidents is like saying aircraft should have parachutes
