Hopefully everyone can have the opportunity to build with AI. I just fear that the gap between those who embrace AI and those who don’t keeps increasing.
AI is definitely an amplifier for one’s work - I just want it to be accessible to everyone.
That being said: building doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore. Having ideas and being responsible will be a much bigger challenge.
@StormslayerDev I can see where he’s coming from but literally saying „Use our tools or else you’ll end up on the streets“ sounds more like self-marketing and a threat.
AI shouldn’t divide people even more.
@trikcode AI can help you code better, but I still don’t think it’s that incredible by itself.
The C-compiler Opus built (led by Anthropic – probably not a skill issue) is probably the worst piece of code I have ever seen.
Helpful yes, but still struggles at difficult tasks.
@rezoundous As long as you keep having ideas, everything’s good. Nowadays, having original ideas is harder than actually putting them into code. It’s an incredibly valuable skill if you know how to use it.
@DataChaz Even though Gemini gets a lot of hate here, it’s probably the best tool for learning something. Maybe not the best for coding, but for general university purposes, it’s unbeatable. I personally love it.
@MrEwanMorrison Possibly, sadly many people believe it. I’m enthusiastic about AI, but I feel most people live in a kind of hysteria because of it. But maybe that’s just the tech community on X 🧐
Big Tech is spending $650 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026 - a 60% increase, more than Israel’s GDP.
Meanwhile: Sam Altman admits AI diffusion is ‘slower than expected’ and 95% of enterprise AI projects fail to deliver ROI.
$650B bet vs reality on the ground.
@The_GreatBonnie I personally use Claude Code and Antigravity. However, it‘s been really fun to code manually aswell recently. Does anyone else kinda miss it?
@sama Sounds like an exciting model. I’m usually critical with AI companies but both Opus and GPT seem like great improvements. And that all within 30 minutes
@googleaidevs@stspanho@pt_pavlo AR is just such a fascinating technology, don’t think it’s paid enough attention to. Imagine the things AR could do with AI in education or certain work areas. Much more than just playing with LEGO’s.
@rodydavis@antigravity I‘ll make sure to give it another try soon. Been too attached to VS Code but started liking Cursor recently. You think Antigravity is better than Cursor? 🤔
@jdpcasey@intentaurixyz@sama I totally get that, as stated above. It's a valid approach but my personal preference is not to get ads using AI. I'm not an economist, just speaking out of personal preferences.
Just like Sam said in his post. Not everyone can afford to do so or afford multiple subscriptions at once.
Let me repeat: I completely understand from an economic perspective but as a consumer that can’t afford $500/month in AI subscriptions I don’t want to be forced to be advertised either. If Anthropic is for the rich (Sam Altman), then so is OpenAI
