Something's happening out there.

What it is ain't exactly clear.

There's a man with a gun over there.

A-telling me I got to beware.

They caught the old Guffrie lady’s kidnappers?

Heard this a couple of years ago. Still have my same job: writing code and deploying apps with the federates.

We’re using the most capable code ai generation tools you can imagine. We still are spending all day going through it ensuring it’s written well and it works. Guess what? It’s not that impressive and is only saving a little bit of time. It’s still more buggy than human written and far less maintainable.

We have the best that your tax dollars can buy and its still mostly a flop.

Btw, we are still hiring and cannot bring in enough people. We need American citizens who are great technologists and don’t do drugs. They’re very hard to find.

If you haven't heard it go back and listen to today's Glenn Beck podcast on this.

That's where I think this is headed.

The people it is really going to hurt is young people looking for entry level positions.


Elon spoke at length about this on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

Basically:

Anything to do with sitting and coding, entering data, programming… is going away quickly.

Anything to do with making stuff with your hands, welding, pipe fitting, cutting grass, physical maintenance, painting, construction… is going to be in demand.

Have you seen where multiple systems have been integrated to see how they interact by themselves and are beginning, on their on, to establish a new language...one that humans aren't familiar with, and it would be exclusive to them?

We are about to see the Book of Revelation play out in front of our eyes and AI is going to be what ushers it in

They talk out of both side of their mouth. On one hand they want population decrease on the other they want open borders to increase the population to fatten profits.


Pretty sure the open borders is to destabilize western culture.

They are decreasing the population via birth rates, which is less than half it used to be towards the end of WW2 when they wanted manpower. The number of people on earth is predicted to peak and start declining in the near future. Growth has already declined significantly.

I don't think it's going to end well.

The roadblock to this will always be licensing and accreditation bodies not willing to elininate the human element of the industry that feeds them. Until the AICPA says a SOX audit doesn't have to be performed and signed off by a licensed human, there will always be a need for people.

It will come eventually, but I think that's a counter to the timeline.

A few snippets of note:
quote:

Let me give you an example so you can understand what this actually looks like in practice. I'll tell the AI: "I want to build this app. Here's what it should do, here's roughly what it should look like. Figure out the user flow, the design, all of it." And it does. It writes tens of thousands of lines of code. Then, and this is the part that would have been unthinkable a year ago, it opens the app itself. It clicks through the buttons. It tests the features. It uses the app the way a person would. If it doesn't like how something looks or feels, it goes back and changes it, on its own. It iterates, like a developer would, fixing and refining until it's satisfied. Only once it has decided the app meets its own standards does it come back to me and say: "It's ready for you to test." And when I test it, it's usually perfect.
I'm not exaggerating.

That is what my Monday looked like this week.

But it was the model that was released last week (GPT-5.3 Codex) that shook me the most. It wasn't just executing my instructions. It was making intelligent decisions. It had something that felt, for the first time, like judgment. Like taste. The inexplicable sense of knowing what the right call is that people always said AI would never have. This model has it, or something close enough that the distinction is starting not to matter.


quote:

In 2022, AI couldn't do basic arithmetic reliably. It would confidently tell you that 7 × 8 = 54.
By 2023, it could pass the bar exam.
By 2024, it could write working software and explain graduate-level science.
By late 2025, some of the best engineers in the world said they had handed over most of their coding work to AI.
On February 5th, 2026, new models arrived that made everything before them feel like a different era.


quote:

There's an organization called METR that actually measures this with data. They track the length of real-world tasks (measured by how long they take a human expert) that a model can complete successfully end-to-end without human help. About a year ago, the answer was roughly ten minutes. Then it was an hour. Then several hours. The most recent measurement (Claude Opus 4.5, from November) showed the AI completing tasks that take a human expert nearly five hours. And that number is doubling approximately every seven months, with recent data suggesting it may be accelerating to as fast as every four months.


quote:

On February 5th, OpenAI released GPT-5.3 Codex. In the technical documentation, they included this:
quote:

"GPT-5.3-Codex is our first model that was instrumental in creating itself. The Codex team used early versions to debug its own training, manage its own deployment, and diagnose test results and evaluations."

Read that again. The AI helped build itself.


The jobs likely to be the closest to the chopping block:

quote:

Legal work. AI can already read contracts, summarize case law, draft briefs, and do legal research at a level that rivals junior associates. The managing partner I mentioned isn't using AI because it's fun. He's using it because it's outperforming his associates on many tasks.

Financial analysis. Building financial models, analyzing data, writing investment memos, generating reports. AI handles these competently and is improving fast.

Writing and content. Marketing copy, reports, journalism, technical writing. The quality has reached a point where many professionals can't distinguish AI output from human work.

Software engineering. This is the field I know best. A year ago, AI could barely write a few lines of code without errors. Now it writes hundreds of thousands of lines that work correctly. Large parts of the job are already automated: not just simple tasks, but complex, multi-day projects. There will be far fewer programming roles in a few years than there are today.

Medical analysis. Reading scans, analyzing lab results, suggesting diagnoses, reviewing literature. AI is approaching or exceeding human performance in several areas.

Customer service. Genuinely capable AI agents... not the frustrating chatbots of five years ago... are being deployed now, handling complex multi-step problems.

Two men that can effectively install toilet partitions and commercial door hardware under contract can make six figures per year easily.

I really don't get why those same elites would keep giving free food and medical care to exact demographics that crank out babies the fastest. Kinda weird

We are stuck somewhere between Neitzsche's "Last Man" and Tocqueville's Envy.

Nothing good will come from this.

So when AI screws up a medical procedure or a contractor builds erroneously off of AI plans and people and/or the environment are harmed, who is held accountable?



The company who's using it that's supposed to put people out of business which when you think about it is absurd.

With AI, it's the same for everyone. It gives no one a competitive advantage unless you already have the infrastructure to make use of it. Sure there are people making money off it: chip makers, gurus, hype men, the gpt's and that sort of thing but real value-wise downstream, I've yet to see it make anyone a single penny. We're doing very much the same amount of work as we have been for years but are just now probably at my company spending roughly $10k on it per year. Not losing a lot but very little gains for it.

So, the same companies will still be at the top. More problems generated by AI and they'll need more people of course to process or manage it, nothing changes yet everyone is panicking more bit by bit for no reason.

You'll still have to work, you'll still have to pay bills, you'll still have to fund your own retirement account.

I agree with this. Government will likely have to step in and establish barriers to entry ( human credentials) for many professions.

Instead they passed a bill that said no regulations for 10 years.
