I’m wonder if the real problem is the company is underwater and the employees are tired - there’s no surplus to share, just more digging out of the hole.

[Vic 📠 @VicVijayakumar]

In a nutshell:
- Employees think that AI productivity gains should benefit employees.
- Employers disagree because the token spend to achieve those gains came from the company.

Selling to indie founders is a great way to create a project with 12 new users per month and 8 cancellations per month, at an unprofitable price-point.

Indies are your friends, not good customers.

@paulg Concur it's more basic. Wondering if we'll find that improvements in heart medication (extended lifespan) and the amount of concrete poured (urbanization) have a lot more explanatory power for depressing _global_ birthrates than fancy tech out of the valley.

The part of Clay Christensen’s disruption theory to revisit is the idea of non-consumption.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

I read this and think… and that’s a good thing. The lifetime of a piece of software declines to minutes. Or seconds. The time it is needed for the job to be done. Software serves work.

[Andreas Kling @awesomekling]

My guess: the big differentiator in modern software development will not be "taste", but sustained attention.

Most software built quickly with AI will follow an "easy come, easy go" pattern and be abandoned shortly after announcement.

Why do pilots use checklists? Because anything that can be made deterministic, should be made deterministic.

[Jamon @jamonholmgren]

The agentic mobile app workflow we're working on at Infinite Red has to remain agent-agnostic. Our consulting clients aren't going to abandon their favorite agent just because we want a different one.

It's interesting to see the consequences that fall out of that requirement.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

IMO this is an extremely small minded view. Consumers will use a ton of ai. They already use 25% of all compute today.

_what_ they use it for might be disappointing (see social media) but there will be a lot of it.

And write this as a b2b founder!

[sean lee @infinitefun_]

yeah, no.

the average consumer has a near zero need for offloading cognitive work. what they need is their netflix and their doordash — your job as a consumer is literally to chill tf out and stay happy and motivated

if you dont intuit this as obvious you're most likely neck-deep in a muck of motivated reasoning as a consumer founder / VC

okay you can use agents to search the web and synthesize findings on what to buy. okay you have cognitive chores like filing tax returns and sifting thru email. sounds like great features to bake into google and gmail!

on the other hand, your job as a knowledge worker is to convert your cognition into something of economic value — and then because of competitive market dynamics, you'll also need all the cognitive amplification that's available on the market.

the biggest problems need the most cognition. the consumer takes care of problems scoped to themselves. the knowledge workers together take care problems concerning society.

when we look back, we'll remember how AI agents helped us cure cancer, not how your agent helped you order pizza over imessage.

[Klaas @forgebitz]

your codebase is part of your "harness"

the better the primitives, quality, and structure, the better the code ai will write

slop will compound fast

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

@jamonholmgren You get what you give!

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Make something agents want

@GergelyOrosz i think co's like airtable that rose quickly in the no-code era started blending focus into one-another

sheets <> automations <> apps <> workflows

[📙 Alex Hillman @alexhillman]

my hot take is that human slop is a lot harder to solve than agent slop

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

Super important point. It's not build versus buy, it's build versus configure. When configure is painful enough, build becomes a much more appealing prospect.

[Brian Sowards (he/they) 🌅🇺🇸 @briansowards]

i’ve only met two kinds of people who think this is a bad idea

1. admins with all the certificates
2. leadership who never configured a CRM

you will >easily< spend the same amount of money building your own actually useful ERP as you would customizing these dumpster fires

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

The biggest opportunity in AI right now isn't raw power; it's bridging the normie gap by building bespoke, reliable interfaces for industries like trucking.

You know what I don't miss?

Having to keep up with a new JavaScript framework every week.

There is a strong Lindy effect in AI code generation that makes AI-assisted coding with established languages easier, and new "inventions" struggle to find adoption.

I don't mind it.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

Yep, this tracks some of the conversations I've been having.

[Jason Cohen @asmartbear]

“I don’t want to work more than 40 hrs/week. I don’t want a calendar. I don’t want to learn outside my current expertise. I don’t want to be uncomfortable.”

“What 𝘥𝘰 you want?”

“Success in a space with a 90% failure rate.”

[Scott Tolinski @stolinski]

I’m exploring the mental health effects of AI coding. This is a super quick (blazing fast), anonymous survey.
Please fill out and share so that the responses will be well rounded.
