The meta point of the article, I agree with though. The line is moving and AI makes having multiple platforms with code specific to them faster. Getting them right is still difficult.
There's a very strong "focus culture" which relies on the idea that work is not done in meetings. This is wrong. Progress comes in many forms.
Ubiquity and coverage of devices is what will take longest. Largely dependent on how well we can shrink models with similar performance and how much we can accelerate mobile devices. This feels like it's but further (<3 years?)
This is a very good reason to avoid using model-generated data to train future models. We'd be deepening this bias by continuing to do that, essentially forcing society to reshape their output using LLMs to increase engagement. This feels like a form of enshittification that doesn't just touch one product but all of society.
Maybe the better way to author your work is to:
1. Write what you want
2. Loop through a random set of "tumbler" skills that preserve meaning
3. Finally pass the output through a "my style" skill that applies what you about
In order for this to work the "my style" would have to be a very common-place style.
I'd have a strong inclination to run such software if I knew that I was both helping host repos and getting paid.
At the same time, it's clear that after this happened, Anthropic took action. 3 DAYS AGO! (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47954655)
That's before this comment was made on the issue:

I'm surprised Anthropic didn't also say this on the issue. Weird that they wouldn't. It seems to have made for unnecessary bad PR.
It feels to me that Anthropic is less focused on quality, and more focused on PR stunts/flash. My experience with Claude is always "it's pretty and feels cool", where-as codex feels like "solid and boring". I realize I'm probably biased. Am I alone in this thinking?
