This post says so much about how the current AI product landscape has (or, hasn't) landed in people'sives while simultaneously only asking questions
okay so i've been trying hard to embrace the big AI, but there is still so much confusion. most of the time i need to work on software. so i fire up t3 code on my laptop and use that. when i wanna do that from my phone, i keep the laptop on and use the t3 code phone app for remote access. t3 code is connected to several different AI providers. when i wanna ask AI a question or do some basic research, i open chatgpt and create a chat (not to confuse with work or codex that use limits). but i also use grok bot in an attempt to embrace the "personal agent" bit, like a mega personal thing that has a computer and my calendar access. switching back and forth is so overwhelming. if a question to grok bot turns into a big conversation or research, it is lost in this single long chat window, because thats how grok bot works. if a research in a chatgpt thread turns into proper work that needs t3 code (codex and the like), i need to copy over the context manually. if i want to connect mcps to t3 code, i need to connect them to each harness separately. that i at least solved with mcpproxy (connected everything to the proxy, then just the proxy to codex and claude). oh and of course i wanna stop keeping my laptop awake to use t3 code stuff. then i need multiple environments? like a t3 code vps? but then my projects live on one of them, so i have to keep them in sync? and now each mcp connection is multiplied by the amount of environments too!! AAAAA!!! i just want one Big AI App. one place where i can chat in a continuous chat window, create separate threads for research, and use codex / claude / grok for writing code. it should be in the cloud AND local at the same time. all with the same personal context. how?

incredible how it always just takes a few to ruin the commons
Another random decided to put their AI bot on ranked, legit done playing ranked man what the fuck this sucks It's going stock for stock with the best player in the world LOL

Idk I get what he's saying but so many people can't even find a file on their computer I kinda think this is still tech-adjacent thinking
A big % of tech people don't get it Normies won't ask "build me software" They will ask "I have this photo and I want to manually edit it" and it will spin up a Photoshop clone They will ask "I need to know if sales are going up or down this quarter from all different ecommerce platforms we use" and it will spin up an analytics dashboard connecting all APIs with scheduled crons that keeps it up to date forever They already do! They won't know they're building software because their AI app/agent will do it for them And then they'll stop using most regular software!

Where you land on the "cooking at home vs eating out being cheaper" discourse is so illustrative of skill issues that it could almost be a 1 question job interview for at least half of all jobs

"what do you want me to eat like a peasant" sorry I didn't know peasants had easy access to refrigeration and freezers and a grocery store down the block

disappointing to see companies repeatedly apologizing for "using AI in their process" instead of apologizing for the output not living up to expectations no one cares if the work is high quality

I feel this way of speaking serves only to punch down on those who didn't follow The Almighty Wisdom it's always rubbed me the wrong way and I've said as much to close friends when they do the same. I really don't think this "haha I knew and told you so" mentality is helpful
My MacBook was worth $8,000 when I posted this. It's now worth $12,000. My RTX 5090s were worth $3,500 when I posted this. They're now up to $7,000. I hope you bought all the compute you need 🙃

I don't really understand why everyone is saying that we should just let the model outputs become uninterpretable I think it's useful as an exercise to think bigger but ultimately I DO need to understand my system, how it works, what makes it tick Now more than ever that doesn't mean reading all the code but a shitty schema or pattern is still shitty

Better patterns let the model use more of its "intelligence" for the actual work you care about vs. wading through the cruft too. Looking at you, 30 tool call responses to answer single questions

Pretty insane that those most equipped to deliver the product most efficiently are effectively banned from going out and doing so Feels like everything is like this pickaxe theory in shambles
ICYMI: Congress put a spotlight on physician-owned hospitals today. During a House Judiciary Committee field hearing on competition in health care, Brian Miller, MD, MBA, MPH, highlighted the federal restrictions that prevent new POHs from participating in Medicare and existing facilities from expanding. His testimony cited 30 years of research showing that POHs can deliver higher-quality care, and called on policymakers to reconsider federal policies that restrict physician-led competition. 👏 The AANS and CNS have long advocated for removing these barriers and expanding opportunities for POHs. 🎥 Watch the hearing: judiciary.house.gov/committe… @physicianhosp @DrBrian4Health @spinesection @

The function detects when 2 numbers are over 10x apart and flags it Opus has described this as a "dispersion signal carried by the observation" These models really, REALLY don't want to just say the thing directly

Feels like not being able to make steel beams faster than they bring data centers up is an indictment of our manufacturing ability but I'm no expert...
Talked to one of my steel suppliers today regarding the lack of availability of structural beams bigger than 16in (they're all being bought up for data centers): Me: "This can't possibly last too much longer, right?!" Supplier: "We have guaranteed POs out to 2030." MFW --

not knowing if the screenshot is actually right until it lands in the PR is part of what keeps the OpenCode TUI fun, actually

hasn't had any effect on my Codex usage but I don't think it's cool to release the abuse harness and then cheekily go around blaming people for using it just own that you did a thing you shouldn't have it's okay, we all have
“hey, did you hear they removed the most beloved Codex feature?” “computer use?” “no” “computer history?” “no” “remote control???” “no” “THE RESETS???” “no” “then what???” “they no longer give me infinite inference 😔"

I don't think it's helpful to act like things are more than what they are building incredible UX around simple things is hard and good, you don't need to act like it's also something it's not

The discussion around "orbs" has brought the frustration out I've seen a lot of "they're not just VPS's" but they... are? They look to have great UX built around them, and that adds a ton of value, but I think it's harmful to paint things as more than they are countless times I've peeled back the curtain on some esoteric sounding new thing, and it's almost always just <simple thing> + <a few new things>. I think everyone would be better off if we talked about it that way

famously Google Maps is NOT on the web
Replying to @hackteck
There is literally no reason why this would be on a web server on the web and not just on Google Maps in a walled garden

Alright. I want you to read this. Earlier today, I released a new component. What you see is the finished result. What you don’t see are the days of planning, research, testing, designing, simplifying, throwing ideas away, and trying again before I felt it was ready. Within hours, it had been copied and ported to another framework by pointing an agent at my code. Of course, it’s open source. They were allowed to do it. And I’ve been around long enough, with multiple successful products, that I don’t care. But what if this was someone’s first product? What if they spent months building it, launched on Friday, and by Monday it had been cloned by agents, repackaged, and made free? What happens when your second product is copied? Your fifth? Your tenth? What happens when every new idea immediately becomes the next prompt? What happens when your roadmap, your changelog, and your launch announcements become someone else input prompts? What happens when models become good enough to copy bigger ideas? What happens when “just execute better” stops being the answer? What happens when “just build bigger” or “think wider” stops being enough? What happens when both ideas and execution become cheap? What happens when the creator pays the full cost of creativity but everyone else pays nothing to reproduce it? What happens to creativity when AI makes copying effectively free? What happens to the will to create when AI makes copying effectively free? Look, copying is not new. Copying at this speed, cost, and scale is. People will tell you to think bigger. But nobody starts "bigger". Every one of us here started by making something small. You keep going because, somewhere along the way, the work is rewarded. Maybe people use it. Maybe they pay for it. Maybe they simply recognize the thought, effort, and care that went into it. Copying once demanded effort. You had to study the work and understand it to copy it. That effort created appreciation for the person who made it. Not anymore. Creativity begins with small steps. If we make those first steps feel pointless, we don’t just lose small products. We lose the people who might have gone on to build the big ones. We are uniquely positioned here. We get to use and experience this life-changing technology before almost everyone else. How we use it will set the default everywhere else. That default will spread to writing, design, music, research, and every other field where someone still has to take the first creative risk. We can use AI to build great things. Or we can use it to strip every new idea for parts. We decide.
