Every tech person I know who has gone deep into using AI tools comes away with the same impression, with the right context Claude can already do a surprising chunk of my job and this is the worst the tech will ever be.

The question is mainly how far behind big tech the rest of the world is? Optimistically it’s 3-5 years away given adoption curves but I’ve been surprised how quickly things have changed in big tech since November.

@carnage4life I think production of software for AI is “easy” because we have a huge public corpus. How many other industries have a digital double of their knowledge that extensive?

@kevm I think a key question is how unique is the software industry?

It’s clear that creating software code, videos and images also had the benefit of a large corpus of public data. What else fits the bill?
