Writing is a form of thinking. So don't let AI do it all for you.
If you want to start writing, the greatest thing you can do is block off 1 hour every morning and stick to it. Absolutely no exposure to other opinions or distractions (social media, messages, phone). You need space for creative ideas and modern life is great at taking that from you.

nah bro we're in a simulation for sure
This entire ocean is a 61 KB HTML file. Built with Claude Code + Opus 5.5 in about 30 minutes, according to its creator. It runs in the browser using WebGPU: FFT waves, whitecaps, sun glitter, a physically based sunset sky with clouds, and a free-flying camera. No game engine or rendering library. Claude rendered screenshots in headless Chrome, then had separate subagents critique them. The creator gave feedback along the way, mainly on the clouds. The 61 KB build is minified and self-contained. Download it, open it in Chrome with WebGPU support, and explore with WASD.

How does an actor have a better epistemological understanding of AI than the people building it?
Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling “Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word." "That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person." "But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”

Un tip: cuando una organización empieza a implementar IA en sus procesos, eventualmente descubre un nuevo perfil de persona inútil y nociva en esta época: el “meat proxy” (“intermediario de carne y hueso”). Esta es la persona que simplemente copia y pega cualquier cosa que ChatGPT o Claude le diga, prepara presentaciones de PowerPoint y documentos para los líderes de la organización o, peor aún, para los clientes, sin entender ni pío de lo que está presentando. Básicamente, suspende su capacidad de pensamiento crítico y se transforma, en la práctica, en un títere humano controlado por IA. Lo que produce se conoce comúnmente como “AI slop” (“basura generada por IA”). En esta era de la IA, es necesario identificar y remover activamente a los “meat proxies” de tu organización para evitar que el “AI slop” termine por todos lados, camuflado como trabajo de calidad. Ellos hacen más daño que simplemente no usar IA.

Si os pensáis que alguien normal fuera del mundo de la informática va a pagar Claude/Codex y se va a poner a vibecodearse una alternativa a su suscripción de 10-15€ al mes vivís en una realidad alternativa. De verdad, gente que no sabría ni abrir ni un excel. Estáis drogados

El software no ha muerto. Escribir código a mano, sí. Quien confunda una cosa con la otra se va a quedar atrás.
Saying software is dead because everyone can create it with agents is like saying movies are dead because billions of ppl have a high res video camera in their pockets Movies doing better than ever+more ppl make a living from videos, movies, TV than ever (Analogy from @simonw)

OpenCode 2.0 is out!! The two best parts are Code Mode and background work. Code Mode lets the agent do a bunch of tool steps in one go instead of one at a time. It's faster, and you can plug in tons of tools without it getting confused. With background work, the agent can hand tasks to sub-agents running in the background, even ones on a different model, while you keep going. To upgrade, run 'opencode upgrade --major'.

We're seeing the beginning of cognitive hyper abundance. All software will be bespoke, customized, jailbroken, etc. In that respect, the future is very cyberpunk, but in the best way. No more corporate monopoly on software. Open standards, open hardware, hackability, all of it. In short: we're seeing the commoditization of software
