@marknadal @maxmarchione when do you sleep?

@prathyvsh @abstractalgo @stevekrouse This is a great point. If we aren’t careful, humanity will converge on doing only what can be prompted, because every other fluency of ours will slowly atrophy as we try to get AI to do more and more of our bidding. Then the abilities of AI will be all that we can do as a species

@prathyvsh @stevekrouse The pendulum will swing back. The paper cuts, fatigue, homogeneity will add up. This is a teaching moment for all parties. Even though Alan Kay was mostly right, waving his finger only worked on a few. Ppl will never go back to what we had before. They’ll demand a middle ground.

@prathyvsh If you're looking for something more direct with less spiritual dressing on it, I recommend

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@prathyvsh You could kinda tell before, though, by where they plateaued in their work. Eg Bret is going deep and staying on course, but others settled for websites and apps etc with some sprinkle of TfT dust on top. Almost never going for any kind of holy grail

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@prathyvsh What’s also surprising is how *few* seem to *really get it*. Idk if the people I’m thinking of were clout chasers, but seems they didn’t *really get it* to the extent advertised.

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@prathyvsh Anything that is now possible that previously wasn’t probably won’t come at the pace of everything being launched/announced now because it requires the time/effort of the old tasks that are now fast/easy

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@prathyvsh Could be a response to our work culture. At the moment people desire to get more of the same done for less instead of same effort but for things that were impossible before. Doesn’t help that everyone is bragging about how much *more* they get done now on Twitter

@stevekrouse Testing your code, for starters

Cori lab is a good counter example. Husband+wife founders of the lab won a nobel prize and trained 6 others in their lab that went on to all be nobel laureates

@imagetextimage @pketh @jaesmail now wondering...will trump's imminent downfall be the beginning of the end of scam culture? he is putting on a show right now, demonstrating where scam culture leads. Maybe the bad taste it has left in everyone's mouths will translate?

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@pketh @imagetextimage @jaesmail like @imagetextimage said, I think it's more about "get your bag" culture, but these progressions are natural.

We learn a hard lesson, we tell our kids to do x not y in order to avoid consequences of such lesson, they tell their kids, their kids are skeptical, swing back...

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@pketh @jaesmail I think the pendulum will swing back - the cultural ick to these things is growing. People just want beauty and authenticity again

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@stevekrouse @worrydream bret does a great job communicating with contrast -- e.g. "on the left is X, on the right is Y, see the difference?"

[cameron @cbreynoldson]

@shahahmed Oh sweet congrats!
