There's incredible opportunity in the stuff that is missing, which is a wonderful thing.
The linear function do not work any more - we'll all deal with AI on some level, handwritten programs would be like assembly programs, there will be some, but not many.
But everyone is currently focused on the second derivative - using AI to further AI stuff - that's a valid goal but not in of itself, AI is just a tool, a tool that gets better is still a tool. It still needs to build something other than itself.
First derivative is where the money is. Let me grab this tool and do something useful/fun with it. Thanks for the fierce competition to build me the best tool in the mean time.
Like adding erosion to this hydrology simulator that I felt too complex a few years ago: https://aperocky.com/hydrosim
