ya if this is real this is magnitudes better than anything else out there, it honestly feels like it can't be real because its too real, i would be 100% fooled and never even question it wasn't a real person, i was more worried because of that, in that no one would be able to tell and you could have very engaging / emotional conversations that chatgpt/grok/claude etc can't even come close to

i saw that and thought the death knell of apps is coming soon as on demand interfaces become a norm

Our brains take time to ingest things and learn and using an AI tool to make decisions when taking in vast inputs of data requires then an overview of those decisions and understanding to some degree of care. If you don't take the time to go over these decisions and understand them and weigh them and course correct as needed, then you are offloading too much. You will become this approver buffer in between claude and nothing more if you don't have this methodical checking and understanding.

What is frightening is with something like neuralink that in a future hypothetical time would have very fast capability to keep informed and advised, you could be a zombie decision maker and nobody would really be able to tell. Even when you were pressed to why you made the decision, it's just another AI response, it's like a con artist or imposter dream scenario.

I noticed that atm, before these crazy hypotheticals potentially happen, the people that seem to take the time to understand things deeper are still way more valuable than those that just use tools more than not. Its obvious atm due to the lag in time and the way people respond in meetings, at least for now. :)

with coding, you have sort of a framework for doing it right, if you have good specs, good testing practices, strict grounding in expected results deterministically, good linting, etc... this is much easier to automate with AI for the coding part within that assuming you did your homework around it... i don't have experience with all the business layers but it seems a bit more nuanced and fuzzy as you get away from that "harness" of sorts as it doesn't have to work in the same way as code for execution and evaluation... and even if code works, it still needs tastemakers in the final ok. maybe the taste maker ability still needs a lot of work/scale to be feasible, idk, like its still earlier than later on that. maybe Elon already cracked this to an extent given his automation in various companies.

i see this and think about Suno's playbook where this could go... survival of the fittest rules the boards where you have user-generated-dynamic video games, not just static ones where design is fixed, the design will be adaptive... based off several prompt input boxes for various things and adhoc while playing, higher tier design boards and the like, this is all going toward user-gen commercial / vanity / personal enjoyment.

so was I then I got the job... i think it's innovative because bots are just filling these out anyway, being mad at a tech company for building tech, that's like calling the kettle well a kettle.

I do too care about this but I say this in the reality in which we are. This reminds me of those signs "no shirt, no shoes, no service" except it's much worse, only sentient beings will actually care about it, while non-sentients will simply trample over the sign while token predicted laughter erupts from their token predicted sense of humor artifact.

Elon said it well, there must be some disincentive to do this.

Isn't this more about identity crisis? Not in the psychological sense but in the internet sense? Who is real who isn't? Crypto proof of work idk? Your profile like d LinkedIn or Hacker News or something gives your clawbot x credits worth of legit automated queries or rate limits on your behalf? It could be flipped upside down where we don't spend our eyes off on reading websites anymore, it just goes and gets it for us but I may be hallucinating.

i get it but what else do you call it right now? its like a full stack dev that builds chatbots with apis and streaming and context fixes, it's a confusing term because it hints at ML core but then you see what they want and there is no model training/inference usually involved. Maybe "AI Fullstack?" idk either but I literally have been doing this over the last 2 years but ya ended up doing model training/inference too but the IMO obtuse leadership didn't want it.
