JUST IN: Elon Musk says AI will make jobs "optional" in the future due to "universal high income."

A paradox I can’t get over in light of this stuff: you need junior employees to do repetitive tasks for you, the more senior expert. If you totally automate it, your need for the juniors vanishes However, you were once a junior doing those tasks, and you were trained through them to get to where you are. If that path is cut out entirely, where will the senior technical experts come from?

All my new code will be closed-source from now on. I've contributed millions of lines of carefully written OSS code over the past decade, spent thousands of hours helping other people. If you want to use my libraries (1M+ downloads/month) in the future, you have to pay. I made good money funneling people through my OSS and being recognized as expert in several fields. This was entirely based on HUMANS knowing and seeing me by USING and INTERACTING with my code. No humans will ever read my docs again when coding agents do it in seconds. Nobody will even know it's me who built it. Look at Tailwind: 75 million downloads/month, more popular than ever, revenue down 80%, docs traffic down 40%, 75% of engineering team laid off. Someone submitted a PR to add LLM-optimized docs and Wathan had to decline - optimizing for agents accelerates his business's death. He's being asked to build the infrastructure for his own obsolescence. Two of the most common OSS business models: - Open Core: Give away the library, sell premium once you reach critical mass (Tailwind UI, Prisma Accelerate, Supabase Cloud...) - Expertise Moat: Be THE expert in your library - consulting gigs, speaking, higher salary Tailwind just proved the first one is dying. Agents bypass the documentation funnel. They don't see your premium tier. Every project relying on docs-to-premium conversion will face the same pressure: Prisma, Drizzle, MikroORM, Strapi, and many more. The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention. Human eyeballs on your docs, brand, expertise. That attention has literally moved into attention layers. Your docs trained the models that now make visiting you unnecessary. Human attention paid. Artificial attention doesn't. Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity. Most popular OSS runs on economic incentives. Destroy them, they stop playing. Why go closed-source? When the monetization funnel is broken, you move payment to the only point that still exists: access. OSS gave away access hoping to monetize attention downstream. Agents broke downstream. Closed-source gates access directly. The final irony: OSS trained the models now killing it. We built our own replacement. My prediction: a new marketplace emerges, built for agents. Want your agent to use Tailwind? Prisma? Pay per access. Libraries become APIs with meters. The old model: free code -> human attention -> monetization. The new model: pay at the gate or your agent doesn't get in.

I've already said it and I'm calling it now, **Discover will be a publishing platform by 2025.** A YouTube for textual content. Google wants to own your content. Google needs your content and all the data. The more, the better.

An artificial womb that successfully grew a baby lamb This is disturbing on so many levels and giving me the Matrix movie vibes.. We are finally at the stage where we are playing God now & the next thing you know we will be heading into a large scale human clone production.

Proactive context management is key to avoiding this. Be aware of how full the window is. For long chats, use techniques to summarize the history (/newtask).

for many people, your 30s are when the world of your childhood begins to fall apart. your parents and family age, get sick. time happens to people, and places. you have to create a new world equal in worth to the one that’s dying, or you’re stuck living in that dying world. there are many ways to do this, having kids is part of one, but the important bit is that you can’t just live life as normal and assume it’ll work out. you must take affirmative action to create something.

what does it mean when everyone is building the exact same thing?
