For most humans across most domains this is already true

[Suhail @Suhail]

It is time to prepare for a world where there are tasks so complex and difficult to solve, humans will no longer know how they are solved.

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

This will happen across almost every digital domain. Open source software, communication, social media. A flood of slop where you either have your slop guard up or get overwhelmed

[Hudzah @hudzah]

Caleb seems to see the future very clearly here and he is 100% correct.

this in particular: "MCP servers fully define shop capabilities, materials, etc"

shops that don't have this will get mass flooded with ai generated slop parts that cannot be manufactured

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

Imagine the social media content they could have been putting out

@JungleSilicon this feels pretty accurate. personally i use the word trust over network effects

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

@briantimar congrats! we know how to build factories fast over at @fieldworksai. several ex-gigafactory folks - we can help you get things moving

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

over the past 55 years, humanity has transformed *sand* into machines that far surpass our own capabilities.

what a time to be alive!

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

This is the core problem in applying the power of AI to physical industry

[Ryan Singer @rjs]

Presenting for human review is a really cool UI problem.

@simonw Now the real question, of all your tests which models recalled this reference?

Any that have a hat or bag?

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

I had an experience today where I realized:

1. we’re nowhere close to leveraging the full capabilities of the current models

2. it’s wild that there are more powerful ones right around the corner

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

“As AI increases productivity within knowledge work, the demand for manual work that benefits from that productivity will increase”

Yes

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Anthropic’s Economics team is sharing a new model of how AI might affect economic growth, jobs, wages, and more by 2030.

Explore the scenarios, tell us what you think will happen, and see how your answers compare to more than 10,000 Americans. https://t.co/AvQlEZNxR0

I would love to see the blender download charts after all this Astra talk

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

Now more than ever before, what’s possible on a computer is limited only by your imagination

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

@chris_j_paxton absolutely wild if true

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

@EffectTS_ @kitlangton @anomalyco that's how you do it on survivor!

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

@cnakazawa Well said

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

@dpoddolphinpro It looks like it was optimized by a private equity firm 😳

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

For $60 / mo you can have 3 world-class software engineers at your disposal.

An unbelievable statement just two years ago

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

this is going to smack a lot of people in the face in 2027

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@rauchg AI will be able to do anything digital (that doesn’t require shaping atoms) at a superhuman level by the end of next year

[Mike Surowiec @mikesurowiec]

@abacaj This feels like an obvious ai gateway feature: let people opt-in to run both and compare the results. The model provider could even subsidize the comparison to incentive the switch
