Bureaucracy is the only barrier AI cannot overcome

Just finished an end to end automation of a Data Entry Role. In-depth article on this coming up. 🕺

This can be extremely annoying sometimes. "You did it last time ? What's this nonsense you're doing now ?". And then, of course, unlike code, there's no debugging. You have to modify your Prompt and cross your fingers it won't happen again.
Non deterministic nature of LLM'S is actually interesting. A prompt yielding different outputs, feels like so much abundance

I'm going to try this
I honestly think ChatGPT Voice is one of the most important technology advancements of our lives The complete unhobbling of AI It’s also the biggest transformation of the UX of doing work since the keyboard Ambient AI. Walk around. Enjoy your life. Say things you want out loud. They just appear It’s clear whatever hardware OpenAI/Jony Ive releases later this year will be an extension of this. I don’t see how it can’t It takes away basically ALL the friction of creating things. It’s the fastest possible way to go from idea in your head to actual thing that exists It also completely frees you from the shackles of your desk/office/home. You can now create anything you want ANYWHERE in the world If you weren’t familiar: this isn’t just voice dictation. The Voice agent controls EVERYTHING on ALL of your devices. It also can control and create new threads and delegate to other agents. 10000x more powerful and functional than regular voice dictation There are some things in life that just become incredibly obvious they are the future of everything the first time you use them. This is one of them. I’m not going to stop raving about this until you actually use it and feel what I’ve felt the last few days How I’d get started if I was using Voice the first time: 1. Update your mobile and desktop apps 2. Make sure they’re connected (in the connection settings of ChatGPT) 3. Go on a walk outside (a beautiful 80 and sunny today in Palo Alto) 4. Go to ‘remote’ in the mobile chatGPT app 5. Hit the Voice button in the bottom right 6. Start saying your thoughts out loud. Anything. Your goals, interests, hobbies, career, describe it all 7. Ask what ChatGPT could build to help you 8. Say ‘ok spin up new threads to build those things’ 9. Keep walking. Get an oat milk latte 10. When more ideas come to you, just say them out loud 11. Feel the AGI

It's quite clear that AI CAN do the job. The only challenge is getting the WHAT piped directly to it.

Using @n8n_io without @Docker is too limiting 😂

I've been using Selenium deeply for browser automation but now @browser_use is taking me back to PlayWright 😂 it's all good

Software Engineers are the ushers of the new AI age. Isn't it fascinating how so many AI agents and tools need some dev knowledge just to set up ?

There's no such thing as useful AI slop!! If it's useful, it's not slop!

As a techie I will hang my coat only after we have AUTOMATED EVERYTHING!

After taking a much needed sabbatical from X, the new tech climate here is just so defeatist 😂 ! We're ushering the new AI age, not fighting it... If you're fighting, you'll lose.
Like good odds I'm wrong but I wanted to write this down: It's pretty clear to me that superintelligence is here and it's more powerful than us and it's moving where things are going now, not humans anymore I don't see many people realize this yet, it feels like that pic I posted the other day, everyone is running after the same carrot which is the AI, thinking they're special, and their work is special and their use of AI is special, but it's really not, we're all mostly making the same slop, I mean it's nice slop, useful slop but everyone is making the same slop And because it's so fast to make things, like people used to spend a year on just building an app, now it's done in hours, it's such an immense change, people send me their projects and it all looks the same, it's useful but it's slop Non-technical people (e.g. the gfs) are now building the same or better things than technical people like us So AI has made everybody is just as capable as everyone else, it equalized everyone in the world, as in everyone can make everything (software, music, images, art etc) now and everyone is equal, at least in the digital realm now And maybe now we're in some odd transitionary time where we have to find out waht the next differentiator is as coding/building/execution isn't one anymore for sure I thought it'd be distribution but who knows, obviously creativity and ideas, but if you can copy a successful apps in an hour, then how does that differentiating work? A guy on here @aporia9n wrote how he increasingly meets founders who blast through apps/products/startups, kind of money grabs, very quickly jumping on a trend, building super quickly with AI, make lots of money quick, everyone copies them, then their margins go to 0%, and they shut it down and go to the next thing, in a way they found one differentiator which is speed That's one way to do it, but it shows how radically things are changing I think For now I think the only ones winning is the AI superintelligence itself and the companies providing the AI

I highly recommend this article for anyone who still thinks that LLMs are still "only predicting the next token". It's long and unsettling but worth the read.

Nothing drains a high performer faster than realizing their reward for excellence is cleaning up someone else’s incompetence.

🇺🇸 JASON: SAM ALTMAN GOT A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE "I think the best part of this is the fact that Sam Altman was supposed to be doing open source. He made it a closed source company. He stole everybody's data and got caught red handed. Now, the Chinese have come and open sourced all the stuff he stole. I have zero sympathy for him." Source: @Jason, @TheAllInPod
