The real AI psychosis is thinking "this is just another tool" or "it's just a stochastic parrot" and "humans still need to review every line". You gotta snap out of it.
Harry Kane going from football’s most famous trophyless player to a Ballon d’Or winner might be the greatest example of why changing employers can improve your life.
The best Software Engineers in the US right now are telling you they don’t review code and have 10, 20, 30 agents running at once
Meanwhile your British 40+ middle manager drops in to standup a couple times a month “yeah I’ve tried AI, not that great would never pay for it”
Don't use this
Build your own software using their tokens
So when their tokens become too expensive
You can switch to your own GPUs
Your compute. That you control
So you yourself can't be controlled
You need to control your stack -- or you become enslaved
I was speaking once with a European investor for a €50K investment in one of my old products and he said “once we finalize this I need to be in touch with you daily and possibly on weekends”.
spoke to enough people at the top, you realize the game is actually pretty simple
once basic needs are met, everyone starts chasing the same things
good sleep, a stable relationship, regular workouts, time alone, books, deep focus, eating on time, and freedom from other people’s opinions
funnily enough, you don’t need to reach the top to start optimizing for any of them
I think AI coding is creating a new class of software developer.
People who’d never call themselves programmers, but can describe a system properly, test it, argue with the model, spot when something smells wrong and keep pushing until they get what they want.
They don't know every language feature or framework convention.
But they ship real software anyway.
Seems to be annoying the hell out of quite a few pre-ai programmers😂
TL;DR: Owning assets is no longer optional.
You have about 3 to 4 years to stack wealth and build real distribution.
Once AI takes over half of cognitive work, selling your hours on a laptop won't protect you. In an AI economy, pure salaries get crushed while asset owners capture the entire upside.
Own equity, businesses, or real-world reach before the window shuts.
a good reminder that just because someone states their opinion with intense conviction, does not make it fact. they can come back a year later and state the absolute opposite view with the same conviction.
