AI is going to change work, software, and small business.
I’m exploring that from the builder side: agents, automation, dev workflows, and low-friction software ideas.
Not hype. Not doom. Just experiments, lessons, and occasional sarcasm.
This is getting interesting. I think this is the part of the AI transition that a lot of people are still underestimating. We’ve spent the last few years measuring AI by how well it can answer questions, write, code, or pass benchmarks. But most people don’t actually want to spend their day chatting with an AI.
They want to say “deal with this for me” and come back later to find out it’s done.
Booking appointments, fighting with insurance, filling out forms and handling returns may sound less impressive than AGI benchmarks, but this is the kind of stuff that could make AI feel indispensable to ordinary people.
@amazing_physics Elon is great with the direction of his predictions but terrible with the timing. 2026 wont happen. Maybe 2030, but it feels more like this will take another 10 years to really get traction.
A simple rule for AI coding tools:
Use them aggressively for exploration, boilerplate, tests, migrations, and boring glue.
Slow down for auth, money movement, security boundaries, destructive operations. Anything where "it's probably fine" is how incidents are born.
@P1eSenb I wonder what happens when armies consist of robots. Will there be a human backup army when the robot army is destroyed? Or will the county just give up at that point, which means that humans won't be killed in future wars?
@IterIntellectus Well, if we get to the life of abundance that many AI enthusiasts expect, perhaps the trend will reverse. It should be easier to raise kids and everyone will have enough resources to raise many. Plus what else will people spend all that free time on?
