This is correct. It will require non-market forces to regulate soft-landings for humans. We may see a wave of "job-preserving" legislation in the coming years but these will eventually be washed away in favor of taxing the AI econ

I'm genuinely curious, is it: a) the writing style you can't stand, b) the fact that this piece tripped your "this is written by AI" and it's AI-written stuff you can't stand? And what the % split between the t

Also, regarding your agents (primary and sub): - Did you build your own or are you farming out to say Opencode? - If you built your own, did you roll from scratch or use a framework? Any comments either way on this? - How "agentic&quot

When you discuss caching, are you talking about caching the LLM response on your side (what I presume) or actual prompt caching (using the provider cache[0])? Curious why you'd invalidate static content? [0]: https://docs.an

> The future may reduce the economic prosperity and push humanity to switch to some different economic system (maybe a better system). Markets don’t want to accept that. [Emphasis added] What a silly premise. Markets don't care .

While I'm certain you'll find plenty of people who believe in the principle of model welfare (or aliens, or the tooth fairy), it'd be surprising to me if the brain-trust behind Anthropic truly _believed_ in model "welfar

Super practical, no-bullshit write up clearly coming from the trenches. Worth the read.

Lots of chat about this: > Inference APIs aren’t subsidised This is hard to pin down. There are plenty of metal companies providing hosted inference at market rates (i.e. assumed profitably if heading towards some commodity price floor).

I mean.. there's simply no repercussions for these companies, and only rivers of money on the other side. The law is laughably inept at keeping them in check. The titans of Surveillance Capitalism don't need to obey laws. CFOs l

Fair enough (and edited). I get angry at Chicken Littles spraying their anxieties all over other people because they can. It's not okay.

Legal paperwork is a fig leaf proxy for a game played with lawyers and lots of money. If you can't actively and substaintially flex both, you'll discover how the world actually works in due course.

Yeah, this moralizing is like side-eyeing your fellow soldiers for killing "too much" because your level of killing is fine.

I think we're still in the gray zone of the "Incessant Obsolescence Postulate" (the Wait Calculation). Are you better off "skilling up" on the tech as it is today, or waiting for it to just "get better" so

Exactly this. No amount of cred, smarts, and genius that ends with "and I'm a bit of dick" will save you from my automatic red-line veto when hiring. I'm far from alone in this.

People really aren't going to like this, but OP is directionally correct. At 100 dev shop size you're likely to have plenty of junior and middling devs, for whom tools like CC will act as a net negative in the short-mid term (most

A more apt metaphor is moving from hand-tools to power-tools. The painting/photography metaphor stretches way too far imo - photography was fundamentally a new output format, a new medium, an entirely new process. Agentic coding isn&#x

> give it playwright MCP server Or just `$ playwright`. Skip the MCP ceremony (and wasted tokens) and just have CC use CLI tools. Works remarkably well.

Because it works. Honestly, it's just this. "Claude the bar button on foo modal is broken with a failed splork". And CC hunts down foo.ts, traces that it's an API call to query.ts, pulls in the associated linked model, t
