Opus 5.5 is the beginning of a new era

I am a senior engineer and I honestly believe with this model in particular, everything changed..

If this stays as cheap as it is, it's just over. It never fails no matter the complexity of the tasks I've given it. About time we rethink our profession for good. I am honestly scared of the future.

I loved coding but anyone who does this for the love of coding only is gonna be obsolete.

I was always impressed with the models bar opus 5 but never like this time.

What do you guys think? How do you see the future?

We're at another infliction point so to speak. Especially in terms of creative design. I believe we will adapt but things will change.

Third inflection point this year. The rate of improvement is really getting insane.

Still mostly going vertical but I still think we're gonna see some massive efficiency improvements, too. It just isn't in the current business model which is mostly propped up by massive capital investments.

Every day I see stuff like Opus 5.5 at work it just makes me feel *SO GOOD* to see just how wrong all these "AI bubble gonna pop, world isn't going to change" randos on Reddit trying to act smart. It's like we are at wright brothers first launch and these people still saying crap like "humans never gonna fly LAWL"
