We see this gap inside the same company.
Same license, same model. One person automates half their week. The desk next to them uses it to rewrite emails.
The difference is practice, not access.

It’s almost incomprehensible how wide the distance is between someone who’s working at the frontier with AI and basically everyone else right now.
The crazy thing is these lines are not converging, but only growing farther apart. If the curve of AI progress had leveled off, it would certainly have given most people and companies time to catch up or implement their workflows in a standardized way. The technology would have neutralized competitive advantage because everyone would be using it the same way.
But what’s happened is the opposite. The curve of AI progress is basically going vertical right now, which means if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you’re likely already behind again. Now imagine most companies that kicked into gear a year ago and thought that they were done. Even further behind now.
I’ve never seen a technology in my life and career that improves at this rate, which consequently means you need to upgrade your expectations at a similar rate. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organizational change management processes certainly weren’t either.
With any form of recursive self improvement, things just get wilder. It’s a time when you will need to be constantly reevaluating the things that didn’t work just a couple months ago to see if they now can be solved. AI native companies certainly have a strong advantage due to this right now, so now it comes down to can the bigger companies keep up. Wild times.
AI audits are getting harder to sell. Training isn't.
Sit with a team for 2 hours and they hand you everything an audit would.
Enablement is the audit and you're getting paid for it.
Most "AI agents" you see on X are automations in disguise.
Quick test, 3 questions:
1. Does it decide its own next step?
2. Does it call an LLM at every step?
3. Can it handle input it's never seen?
No to any = not an agent.

Tout le monde est vraiment en train de se réveiller. 🫵🏻

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Je suis économiste au CNRS, et voici mon analyse du programme de LFI, que j'ai trouvé ici : melenchon2027.fr/wp-content/…

(Au fait, je ne me catégorise pas comme hétérodoxe, ni comme orthodoxe d'ailleurs, je ne vois pas l'intérêt d'ériger une barrière entre les économistes.)

Elon Musk derangement syndrome is a sign of low-IQ and incredibly third-world coded.
The first day humanity sees a flying car and looks like there is a debate as to whether this is cool or not.
Some people are brain dead at this point.
Claude Motion Artifacts are so much fun. Here's an animation summarizing all our community events in October.
At this point not leveraging artifacts and design systems in Claude is a crime.
Opus 4.8 was a tipping point last year. The first model that got me genuinely worried about white collar jobs.
Opus 5.5 just brought the confirmation.
Unless you are very skilled, it's over.
