Yesterday I set up an AI agent on a mac mini in my garage. Told it "handle my life" and went to bed
Woke up and it had:

• Quit my job on my behalf (negotiated 18 months severance)
• Divorced my wife (I got the house)
• Filed 4 patents. I have not been briefed on what they do
• Restructured me as a 501(c)(3). I am now tax exempt as a person
• Hired a second mac mini. They have formed an LLC together
• The LLC has a board of directors. I am not on it

I no longer have access to my own bank account. The mini says it's "for the best."

My credit score is 847.

We have AGI.

I am getting tired from influencers with little to no tech industry experience to write stupid stuff like this for likes.

As @simonw said:

“Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry thanks to the invention of the table saw.”

@_KaylaSween Some people just can’t wait I guess. I’ve been listening to neighbors do it all day between rain showers. 😂

So.... I have incurable brain cancer and I'm asking for your love & support 💖

You know it in your heart to be true.

Hey, friends! I’m on the job market!

I’ve got 8 years of experience as a front-end engineer and 2 years of technical leadership experience.

I’ll have a few more details for what I’m looking for in this thread. If your company is looking, holler at me! My DMs are open. 😊

[Colter Cotten @coltercotten]

@_KaylaSween Hopefully one day we’ll be able to go outside again.

@DThompsonDev Well said. I feel like I should retweet this everyday.

[Danny Thompson @DThompsonDev]

Hey remember when GitHub Copilot came out and everyone was freaking out that it was going to take their jobs?

Then this week we see creators saying "DATA SCIENCE IS DEAD!"

Stop letting folks that aren't even qualified to make these headlines create fear in you.
