@0xdoug Fascinating! Did you try having each model critique itself (independent adversarial review)? If so, how much of what the other model discovered in review was it able to find itself?
@katedeyneka Would you mind sharing your prompt? I'd like to try it on Playful and see how it compares. Also, is this just for a mockup or did any of the apps deliver the full functionality?
Techcrunch gets it. There is so much unfulfilled demand for personal software that people can finally start to satisfy for themselves. Making it easier to create an app than it is to make a spreadsheet is the key. https://t.co/4n8IAOOWd9
Yes, changed forever. “But what was the fire inside you, when you coded till night to see your project working? It was building.” Now everyone can build.

"We’re entering an era of personal, disposable software."
This is fantastic for most people but what happens to software engineers when people can make their own software? @codestirring argues engineers become more valuable, not less.

@thdxr That would be great to see. Open Source models have made huge gains but the frontier models and now their agentic harnesses, Anthropic's in particular, keep moving the goal posts.
Sooner than you think, the same prompt will deliver an experience like this, in the form of an app you don't have to regenerate every time you need it.
Claude Cowork renaming photos to describe their contents in real-time. 2 minutes prompt-to-finish. How long would that have taken me?
"make a copy of the God's Pocket directory, look at each photo in it, and change their filenames to describe the photo"
Love seeing the power of creating software on demand making its way to non-coders. Artifacts still have a ways to go to be useful as apps but for ad-hoc jobs Cowork, even in this early state, is tremendous.
