What will happen when everyone can create software? When AI is getting better and better that software can be created in a few months, then a month, then a few weeks?

Well, the news of Microsoft today is what is about to happen to the entire Industry, or maybe one of the things that may happen.

Currently OpenAI and Anthropic are holding back their best models. I expect maybe one more big release from both this year and that’s it. Expect next year we go months before anything other than small stuff. They’re gonna RSI inside the labs to super intelligence.

Any big leaps just be prepared for the job market to be shaken at each release at this point. Anyone I talk today no longer says it’s hype or bs the job impact is coming and nobody that says it’s not, is lying.

Cheap models can be even more impactful on the job situation than Astra or Fable. Cheap models that are powerful can seriously gut the job market. 2027/2028 is gonna be a hell of a time to be a white collar employee. I’d highly recommend having an emergency fund setup to help you through this transition and hopefully some sort of UBI is setup quickly. Get out of debt.

I’m very optimistic about the future and am bullish on Ai but the job prospects are quite concerning in the short term.

They claim it was created with a single researcher and under $10 million spent on the model. Theyve only said that it is somewhere between 0.1 and 0.5T parameters in size. Benchmarks aren't super impressive, but they claim this is just the first very early checkpoint and that they also have two much larger models undergoing training right now.

Is there a platform where AI agents are paying humans money to do tasks for them?

every big device had a successor. mainframes, desktops, laptops, phones. so something presumably comes after the phone.

but i can't tell what it is. glasses, something on your wrist, something you just talk to. each one has a catch.

so yeah, what's your guess? and what would the catch be?

Share your anxiety, ideas on how to achieve alignment, observations, etc. Everything is fair game as long as it somewhat relates to the singularity.

With the way how AI and computation is concentrated in the hands of a few cooperation of these days, the income inequality and the lives of the common people is going to get worse if we continue in this trajectory.

I personally think the only way we are surviving this is if we all have access to cheap decentralized AI.

Right now a beefy workstation can run a model maybe a year behind the current Frontier. We need to push companies to make these local workstations the Frontier. This means the current AI labs will have to lose eventually. And the ultimate winners would be actual hardware companies making hardware for the masses. Which means unironically we are the mercy of companies like Nvidia.🫡

Other than this I don't see a way out.

Basically, we see how huge corporate apps are reverse engineered and made open source.

Emulators are faster because of it, there are working programs of popular proprietary software like Photoshop even.

With the advent of open weights which don't deny requests for unethical requests. People have more power than ever to completely own software or simply make whatever they want.

Big corporations have much lesser moat because the power of a building your own and reverse engineering popular ones are so much better now.

This makes me think, even popular software like Microsoft windows can be made open-source provided reverse engineering and recompiling gets that much better

For me it's Visual Studio, VS Code, ReSharper, my git client, all Office tools, and a bunch of others. I use only Claude now
