something i've noticed: AI agents create a weird new kind of burnout. esp for young people.

a lot of ambitious 22 year olds are going to think the answer is simple:
- spin up more agents
- ship more code
- sleep less
- outwork everyone

and for a while, it will feel incredible.
you can keep multiple agents running, feed them tasks, review outputs, fix mistakes, make decisions, and keep the whole loop moving.

the problem is that the work no longer drains you through typing. it drains you through judgment.
More attention.
More context switching.
More verification.
More decisions per hour.

so instead of 8-10 normal productive hours, you might get 4-5 extremely intense hours before your brain is fully cooked. and you feel numb until you sleep properly and reset

some of my friends are already burnt out. they don't say it out loud but i can tell.

the agent can keep working 24/7.
the human still has a hard limit

Anyone who thinks "AI = easy mode" honestly just sounds dumb and out of touch.

For context, I’ve been doing product design for 20+ years, including giant brands like Febreze, Swiffer, and Abercrombie with multi-continent supply chains etc.

I can tell you that AI is by FAR the most technically and cognitively demanding thing I’ve done in my career.

Yes plenty of people use it to make videos of Charlie Sheen farting on Pikachu or whatever but using AI tools at a high level is HARD.

It makes production a lot easier and faster (eg, writing code or generating images) but the cognitive part (deciding what code should be written or what image should be generated) is just as slow and hard as ever, so your brain is now the bottleneck.

Diplo's take on AI is spot on, and he's ahead of 99% of creatives, across all disciplines

amazing interview by @DanielSWall

[Big Brain AI @realBigBrainAI]

Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, on why AI agents still produce "slop" without human taste in the loop:

"You can create code and run all night and then you have like the ultimate slop because what those agents don't really do yet is have taste."

Peter is direct: raw capability without direction still produces mediocre output.

"They are spiky smart and they're really good at things, but if you don't navigate them well, if you don't have a vision of what you're going to build, it's still going to be slop. If you don't ask the right questions, it's still going to be slop."

Great AI-assisted work is defined by the human guiding it.

@steipete describes his own creative process when starting a new project:

"When I start a project, I have like this very rough idea what it could be. And as I play with it and feel it, my vision gets more clear. I try out things, some things don't work, and I evolve my idea into what it will become."

Most people skip this part entirely, front-loading everything into a single prompt and wondering why the result feels hollow.

"My next prompt depends on what I see and feel and think about the current state of the project."

Each step informs the next. The work itself is the feedback loop.

"But if you try to put everything into a spec up front, you miss this kind of human-machine loop. And then I don't know how something good can come out without having feelings in the loop — almost like taste."

The agentic trap is what happens when you remove yourself from the process too early.

MrBeast says once enough airlines offer Starlink, he’ll only book those flights: “Extra layover? Don’t care—there’s Starlink. I’ll sit anywhere for it. Starlink is amazing.”

He adds: “Most people haven’t used it, but in Antarctica it was our only signal. On a four-hour drive through rural Africa, we mounted Starlink on the car and had perfect connectivity the whole time.”

On SpaceX: “What Elon Musk is doing will fundamentally advance humanity in unimaginable ways. Someone will go to Mars in our lifetime—I truly believe it.”

The more people hate AI 3D, the more they prove it’s working.

A big 3D account tried to clown a Runway creator and just gave the post more attention.

At a certain point, this stops being criticism and starts looking like fear. #ai #3d #runway #aiart #generativeai #digitalart

The same people calling AI video "slop" would have called digital filmmaking a gimmick in 2002.

The camera doesn't make the filmmaker.

It never did.

[Franky @bluechip_ext]

@IXITimmyIXI Right, they should use the tool. They’d put themselves at a huge advantage if they did.

There’s a common misconception that if something was made with AI, it was easy to make.

[Jordan Daniel Chesney @jordandchesney]

Making commercials and films with AI isn’t just exciting — it’s the future.

That said, the hardest part isn’t the technology, it’s finding people you genuinely love working with, and sharpening your storytelling skills. Those two things will never be replaced by “clicking buttons.”

The fundamentals that carry over from traditional filmmaking remain the same:

📕 Strong stories
🤝 Strong relationships

If you treat these as secondary, you’ll eventually feel stuck and frustrated.

But if you keep them front and center — valued, protected, and constantly nurtured — you’ll thrive in this new era.

GTA 6 could create a whole new class of millionaires.

If Rockstar really opens up private servers, creator tools, and user-generated content the way people think, server owners could make stupid money #GTAVI #Rockstar #GamingNews

A company called Loyal just got FDA approval for a beef-flavored pill that extends your dog's life by years.

The pill costs $2 to make. But when you're selling more time with something someone loves there's no price ceiling.

First drug of its kind. No competition. $150B pet market.

This is the smartest business play I've seen in a while. #Loyal #Biotech #Tech

The economy isn't money, it's goods and services and the only limiter is labor.

When robots handle labor, production becomes unlimited.

How will we spend our time in the age of abundance?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@Jason AI and robots will replace all jobs.

Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store.

I cloned my face and voice with AI in 10 minutes. Then I used my clone to tell you why the guy building AI is also building a way to merge our brains with it.
