Daniel Faggella (@danfaggella, 7h): "CLAWD creator peter steinberger doesn't read what he ships, runs many agents in parallel on the same project, and overtly says he doesn't care about the 'plumbing,' but just how the product works/feels my fav quote from his latest interview: 'some people don't like the product as much as solving hard problems, but those people get really say because that's what AI is good at' but what he's talking about for writing code applies to literally everything what life is going to be like is wielding your volition on top of 20 (or 200, or 2000) powerful AI agents, wholly unable to check every detail (literally impossible) MOST of our 'work' and ability to contribute to the greater stream of life will be this kind of 'riding the tiger' experience - until at some point: - the ai's themselves aren't just better at 'doing the work', they're better at the ideas, too. in which case you're just mostly consulting them for ideas and letting them rip - then, you aren't even relevant in the idea or 'doing' loop, and the entire technocapital system is being run by inscrutable machine minds, and our own role is questionable peter's interview is portent for what's coming in every domain" [Embedded video: an interview, two men seated facing each other in a wood-paneled room with plants, branded "Pragmatic Engineer" in the corner; caption visible at bottom: "i learned to talk there or that language more so"]
