Right now, you’d use skyscanner directly for finding flights. Maybe Expedia for hotels. What if instead of needing to know about what app to use for every different type of thing you wanted to book, and dealing with their own separate UIs and dark patterns to upsell you, you just ask ChatGPT to curate a list for you, and then tell it to book once you’ve chosen?

In 20 years, we may not be writing UIs for apps anymore. We may just be writing tools for AI agents to consume.


Anyone who’s trying to make money through stuff like this (versus just experimenting) is using one of the many paid captcha-solving APIs, which cost a cent or two per solved captcha.

We have all hurt our fellow man, just as we all hurt ourselves. We even have a word for it: sin!


I explicitly mean murder.


It it was the case, Iran underestimates how vindictive Americans are.


Meh. Americans showed in vietnam and iraq that they dont just go along with wars they think are bullshit

This could make americans hate iran and demand retribution, but i think its more likely to make americans made at israel and their own governmnet for dragging them into it for no reason


What is good code now is only good code because of the bad programming languages we’ve had to accept for the last hundred years because we’re tied to incremental improvements. We’re tied to static brittle types. But look at natural systems - they all use dynamic “languages.” When you get a cut, your flesh doesn’t throw an exception because it’s connected to the wrong “thing.” Maybe AI will redefine what good code means, because it’s better able to handle ambiguity.


It’s a useless skill to keep sharp. It will never again be important. It’s like the electrical engineering professors who insisted we needed to understand how the circuitry worked in order to be good programmers. We didn’t.


They have unlimited, free money.


It’s not a helpful comparison because it’s too early. If the first iPhone went away, no one would care. Once software is rearchitected around AI, it will look a lot different. Your phone won’t need UIs that are as complex, because we can just tell AI what to change or open or do.


The submitter could decide and curate what is useful to be shared, whether that’s exact message logs, or the subagents and skills they think made the difference.


AI reduces the thinking time, too. And most of my time is spent either thinking or coding.
