Very tempted to only read books published before ChatGPT. I had reading AI text and I had the idea of reading a book which has been even partially written by AI.

@GergelyOrosz Can we just port this python code back to typescript now and still get around copyright?

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

@ceibner hi

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

@PeterDiamandis People need to understand what they are working on to create the right questions and give the right direction

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

What is that codex, you are adding another completely new function to format phone numbers instead of the standard used through out the entire codebase?

Lucky I was looking hey

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

@ceibner hi!

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

Could have multiple feedback loops a day, instead of feedback loops over days/weeks.

Can collaborately build a feature with the stakeholder/user sitting right next to you. Iterate with them on a feature 50 times, get it perfect.

No need for spec, just build it right!

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

Hearing about moving more of software dev into documentation & specs. If we can build faster, we should lean into that, small specs, build early, get feedback, adjust. Tighten the feedback loop. Software's advantage always been the ability to change, AI should enhance that

don’t fall for the trap of waterfall development - our industry learned this lesson two decades ago. you can’t know and plan everything upfront - neither can agents.

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

Everyone is moving to big upfront specs/designs etc for AI agents. Feel like this is not the way forward. We continuously need to learn that iterative and small steps is better for software development, I can't see this being different and FASTER development should be an enabler

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

AI can sort our your UI and layout using tailwind but it will add so many extra classes that don't do anything!

It does this with code as well, you end up with all this shit which just does thing but take more time!

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

I don't understand this AI handling peoples emails. Any emails I get, and want to deal with, nearly always require my input and attention. The reason I hate my email is because of this, not because it is simple shit to reply to.

What am I missing?

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

@bcardarella I agree. Newbie running Phoenix apps here, what do you do differently?

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

Satya wants all the business logic to be done by AI agents.

I am really excited for the invoices in my accountancy software to be 70% correct, or for my business processed to be done 70% correct

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

For AI to self improve it first needs to be intelligent, and creative, enough to increase it's intelligence and creativity.

Each improvement then needs to be enough to be intelligent, and creative, enough to take the next step.

This isn't guaranteed to happen.

@codyschneider Can I use this to clone @Graphed ?

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

@Astrokerrie What? 1/3 of that top 15 is Australia...nearly every capital city!

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

@NickADobos @IvcotaD You start paying the interest on the debt now/immediately, and that interest can quickly consume you

2.5 years between GPT4 and GPT5, GPT7 could be 5 years...

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

hate leads to suffering

[Jon Cahill @JonRCahill]

GPT5 is the enshittification of ChatGPT
