Who made this? SPX6900 meets B-movie cult classic They Live Deserves some views imo, better than your average run of the mill AI slop.

Posts like this make me laugh. Completely ignorant at worse, low effort trolling at best. TL;DR: you are already using products and services built with AI-generated code, you will see many more new products and services VERY soon, and the hype is actually real. @SPXStation is a "product" purely built with AI. I haven't written a single line of code. You guys don't see so much yet - but there is an ever-growing database of X posts catalogued that powers the @SPXStation account. There are many features: scheduling posts, ranking/scoring, production of digests - I even have automatic duplication detection of video content via visual and audio fingerprinting - which is a non-trivial piece of work to get right. Soon, I will be allowing other Aeons to use the backend (there is already fully featured user management and sessions) to search and download videos and help me collect video content from X and beyond. It's APIs are helping power tv.dcaeon.com/ (@LateAeon also used AI to build that website and all the other amazing stuff he has been doing) Right now, it's about 35K of production code at last count, and probably twice as much again when you include all the automated tests, deployment scripts and requirements documents that have been written. Let's say 100K lines of code and high quality specification documentation/tests. A decent (not elite) senior engineer will produce around 300 lines a day they say - I think determining requirements and writing them down is even slower. That's roughly a year's worth of work @ 7 days per week. Half a year, if you are lucky and know exactly what you want and how you are going to build something. I started the project mid-October - the first 3-4 weeks was a prototype (also AI-generated btw) - I threw that away to build the app I have today. So current development is from about mid-November to now. I've probably averaged about 2-3 hours a day over the last 12 weeks. So that would be 30 days of work @ 8 hours per day. That's a 5x-10x improvement in productivity - and I am just doing this for fun as a long-retired and very rusty coder. Imagine what is happening elsewhere in the world right now. As much as I think there is a lot of hype in AI, a lot of it is very real, and it is starting to massively impact the productivity of all knowledge workers. See the buzz around Claude Code/Co-work/Codex and OpenClaw - these are the first signs that people are really getting step changes in productivity. That's the take-off phase people are feeling. It's real. imo, you will see an explosion of apps and products in the near future - and many, many SaaS and phone apps that were charging you $5-20/month are going to see their margins collapse because of low-cost competitors - and that is just the start. (As I write this, I have an agent working away to rebuild the gf's retreat website so I can drop the rip-off $5/month sub for the existing "no-code" one.) In time, I think whole classes of apps will disappear entirely when it is just quicker to ask an agent to go and do something on your behalf - and it can talk to other agents to make it happen - not use some clunky website designed for humans to find products, services, etc. I am just very fortunate that I can enjoy it - rather than have to face it as an existential threat to my old career/identity - it would be exhausting to keep up otherwise and it would be scary to see how much better the elite devs/users out there are doing it. Especially for someone who is a bit long in the tooth like me. Bluntly put, nothing is going to stop this train except an absolute collapse of civilisation that underpins the infrastructure and energy required for AI. That's not a non-zero posibility the way things have been going - but that's another convo. And if you are wondering how this might be SPX coded - well I believe that Network States and communities will be one of the life rafts we can jump on and huddle together whilst the old systems collapse/transform into whatever is to come - or better yet we can organise to build adjacent replacements and leverage AI for our own benefit and align it with our own values and sovereignty. What a time to be alive. ILY. (And if you reached this far thank you for listening to my TED talk)
