Gavin Baker: “The Magnificent 7 will go from $10-12 trillion to $50-100 trillion. But one or two of them will go extinct.”
His foundation-model survival list is short:
Google — search-plus-Gemini flywheel
Meta — Llama + ad-revenue self-funding
xAI — X + Tesla data footprint
Anthropic, OpenAI, everyone else — Baker treats them as commoditized.
His FOMO warning: “Application SaaS is done. If you went all-in on crypto and SaaS in 2021, don’t repeat the trade.”
On AGI: “Elon says 3 years. I say 5 is safer.”
On regulation: “The leading labs weaponized fear of China. There’s going to be no regulation.”
The math he keeps quoting: $12T → $100T is 8x. But 1-2 die means winners take 30-40% of the total, not 14%.
Baker’s frame: no regulation + AGI in 5 years + Mag 7 8x = biggest enterprise-value transfer in market history is happening right now.
@bherbruckx I use codex to create the model and send to my Anycubic Kobra X 3D slicer. This past week made a radon exhaust rain cap, an electrical panel spacer plug for 12/2 wire and now printing out 2 inch diameter foamboard insulation support disks to hold on crawlspace wall w/tapcons.
@tahasdx yes, and ability to put shape of camera capture as round, rectangle (horizontal/vertical), and location or draggable, plus a border width/color, for those talking/education videos.
@jacksunny18@poteto@bendee983 Yes, code was blowing up for months without them. And before each refactor, it runs the tests first to set the baseline, makes the refactor and reruns after. And the tests get better with time. And as you mentioned, you can spin up a new agent and they just get it.
@CoreyDesir It's software and follows a dev cycle -> plan -> build -> bugs -> refactor. This software is VERY young with a bright future. Just follow the amount of open issues, closed, and pull requests on github for each project. It's getting better daily.
@ShamaeiAli I'm in the process of redoing my entire computer life around headless/MCP apps. These are still young, but dev speed is impressive. Goal: move my personal/biz/ recreation apps to AI first apps with MCP. Then I just say what I want, stop learning programs, and get results faster.
@mabhi1999@ThePrimeagen if my research is correct, they received funding like 1.6M a few years ago, they have a parent company. But that may have changed names.
@croafy@christitustech If you have access to the "artcraft launcher" for your operating system, install that and you can install, and update all 12 apps they offer.
@poteto@bendee983 It's still maintainable. But it's agent-maintainable vs. human-maintainable. After years in dev, this is the first codebase I can't keep track of. But my agent has no problem. I tell it to keep it DRY.
@echelon It's the high hopes, installs, release notes, bug reports, and promises of future features that take too long to arrive, and eventually the uninstalls. The game has changed, and I'm all in.
