AI was supposed to make us work less
I've never been this tired in my life
most days I have up to 10 agents running at the same time. one fixing a bug, one writing pages, one refactoring something I already forgot I asked for, 3 other I have no idea what they are doing but i suppose i ask it?
and I jump from conversation to conversation all day
compared to 5 years ago, I probably context switch 100x more
by the end of the day my brain is fried. completely toasted. nothing left, not even for the people I love
I call it the fried brain effect
thought it was just me but almost every founder I talk to lately says the exact same thing
we got superpowers, and somehow the pressure only went up. if you can ship 10x more, you feel like you have to ship 10x more. every single day
I don't have a solution
honestly I have no idea where this goes from here
anyone else feeling this?
Same.
I used to listen to so many podcasts and books, filling in small amounts of time between different things that I'm doing.
Now that time is filled by sending quick prompts to agents to get work done. As much as it feels productive to do that, my podcast list keeps growing and I kind of miss listening to those things.
It's really hard to not prompt though.

Anyone that works in AI is working the hardest they've ever worked in their lives. On the surface it's somewhat ironic (AI should give us back time!), but the reality is that it's the most fun, fascinating and empowering epoch in human history. The intelligence revolution.
I’m already past 50%. Oof.
Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.
After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.
We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.
Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.
Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

Beautiful. I ❤️ Raycast.
wen non-beta @peduarte
hahahahahahahaha, love you guys and the tremendous amount of work and polish that went into 2.0.
GPT-5.4 Pro is Uncle Bobbing the shit out of my codebase rn. CRAP and cyclomatic complexity scores are getting annihilated.
Where find soft fuzzy bathrobe. @unclebobmartin
My current assessment of Opus 4.7 is that it just raw dogs life like a teenager. Despite clear guardrails in CLAUDE.md of which tools to use in the tech stack, it completely ignores them and builds whatever it wants. It is almost comically consistent that it will ignore rules.
Opus 4.7 is so radically different than Opus 4.6 and I’m struggling with the tension as I learn how to use it more effectively. 4.6 was surprisingly quick and conversational, but less precise. 4.7 is slower, more methodical, and more thorough.
My workflow is shifting.
Not certain on Opus 4.7 performance yet, but it did say "Hell yes" in it's reasoning response to me.
I like.
Every time I’ve hurt someone, at the root I was avoiding my own pain, often a direct attempt to protect myself from the pain I ended up causing them.
If we avoid working through our own trauma, we end up transferring it to others.
This acute problem in coding is part of the overarching idea that our human desire to understand the world cannot keep up with the expanse and velocity required to know everything.
Being ok with comprehension debt is an act of letting go. And that can be a great challenge.
