Almost every AI power user I know is MORE stressed and busier after using AI, not less
What people thought AI would do: 10x productivity so that we can finish work earlier & relax more
What it’s actually doing: 10x productivity so that we end up with 20x more things to do cos of the sheer possibilities
Andrej Karpathy on autoresearch with an untrusted pool of workers:
"My designs that incorporate an untrusted pool of workers (into autoresearch) actually look a little bit like a blockchain.
Instead of blocks, you have commits, and these commits can build on each other and contain changes to the code as you're improving it.
The proof of work is basically doing tons of experimentation to find the commits that work."
The idea that distributed & permissionless autoresearch ~= proof-of-useful-work remains a high-level intuition for now, but it is extremely intriguing to say the least.
Someone needs to take this further. See QT for more on what's missing.
This book really changed my career, I don’t think I’d be where I am without having read it.
I learned so much from it, and have not found any other book that has been able to teach me as this one has.
I will buy this book for 3 people, winners selected on Friday
Everyone i talk to who is living an above average quality of life full of play and fun tells me to disregard strategy and just go for what my most playful self wants to do each day, and everyone i talk to who is living a more average life with a normal amount of draining obligations tells me to strategize now in order to get to the eventual playfulness hmmmmm
nobody tells you that using multiple agents isn't "10x engineering", it's just high-speed babysitting. i have started 4 projects this week and shipped nothing because i spend all day explaining context to robots who can write code but can't actually think.
using multiple agents to work on multiple projects is making me crazy - every day you get multiple new tools and you think you can create so many new things but then you never finish anything bc these agents still cant polish your apps bc this needs clear thinking abt evry detail
its really funny beeing creative and working on your own apps - coordinating your agents - but then you have n+ projects and n^2 agents simultaneously - this is so tiredsome and making urself crazy
you want to let the agent work only to come back and need to fix even more bugs
everyone here talking bout how ai is making their new app - yet they are still not able to set up a working supabase db with correct RLS - always need to do this by hand
