alt Hacker NewsI never had a use for crypto.
I'm making movies with VFX now. (I've been a photons on glass filmmaker for over a decade. This tech rocks.)
I'm basically automating my work and acting as a senior manager. Claude can write my code in my style 100x faster than me. I'm reviewing the code, making adjustments - that means I have to pay back the efficiency gain, but overall this is easily a doubling of my productivity.
I'm making music and images and I've never been able to do those things. I suck at graphics design - now I can actually do it.
Google search sucks. Complicated searches had become impossible. Now I can ask very obscure and hard questions and easily verify the LLM results.
We've effectively jumped 50 years in tech capability, it feels like. I feel like I'm living in the future. This is only the beginning, too.
I don't care if you use AI. In fact, I'm better off if you don't. That gives me even more of an edge.
Please stay away from AI. I'll keep using it.

I’d argue you still can’t do it, you just have access to cheap enough labour that you can afford to have it done for you on a scale which you couldn’t before. However seeing as you haven’t developed those skills in the first place you also lack the ability to make any deep critique of the output you are given. Instead of guiding it in the way someone experienced would, you’re still the client, except now you’re the client of a machine.
