The secret to success: they WON'T tell you:

@Govindtwtt Nearly all software you use has already been heavily updated or built with AI by this point. you just aren’t made aware of this.

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

there is something real to this.

most white collar work involves subtle loops whose practitioners often rarely make legible.

[Movez @0xMovez]

Claude Code creator:

"Now I don’t prompt Claude anymore - I have loops that are running. My job is to write loops."

In this 30-min speech, Boris revealed his actual Claude setup for daily coding.

Claude Code + loops + dynamic workflow

Worth more than a $500 vibe-coding course

@giordanorandone I do disagree. Lots of this new software will vanish because the market doesn’t want it, not because it’s unmaintainable. People will naturally maintain software that is demanded and being paid for.

@hthieblot stumbleupon

I’m guessing this sentiment comes from people who haven’t figured out how to use AI well yet, so they think the hype is fake

What’ll happen is people for whom the hype is real will begin outpacing everyone else in every single sector until the hype is impossible to ignore

[Nick Huber @sweatystartup]

The AI hype collapse is going to be insanely painful for everyone.

Brutal times ahead.

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

@webdevMason I know some folks in the AI labs say the permanent underclass isn’t real but it would appear some people are proactively choosing it and crab-bucketing others into it. The selection effect is weeding out the “succumbs to peer pressure” gene.

@sean_from_earth chat is this bad

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

@thsottiaux @AnthonyBerlin had this issue too

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

people are not fond of AI because the genuine norm is inattentiveness and incompetence and AI strips that expectation away

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

@aphysicist @tszzl All of this assumes humans have any role in labor. If AI improves even slightly more there’s not much room or need for people.

[roon @tszzl]

the frontier labs don’t have “comms problems”. reality right now has a comms problem. what is happening is a little scary and there’s no nice words anyone could say, especially not those profiting from it, that’ll make it feel that much better

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

@stark4833 @OpenAI I work with LLMs 12 hours a day and can state plainly the relationship 4o obsessives have with the model is unhealthy and you’d aggressively resist a licensed psychologist telling you the same thing.

LLM psychosis is real and we’ve all met people afflicted by it.

@stark4833 @OpenAI See a professional

@vividvoid @ciprian_hetea Yeah codex can knock it out of the park

[jason @jxnlco]

take your work seriously
take your pleasure seriously
take your health seriously
take your friendships seriously

@Atenov_D exploiting this is how this gets shut down. poisoning the commons, for what?

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

something pretty funny about this is beating the S&P by 8% over the last 30 days is actually extremely poor performance

[Piotr Pomorski @PtrPomorski]

RIP CITADEL

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

@WorkingClassAI There is an increasing likelihood of this as the value of money simultaneously asymptotically trends to both infinity and zero

[Gabriel Garrett @GabGarrett]

We are trending towards Enlightened Buddhist overclass, non-sober in myriad ways underclass
