Way too many hours of AI programming. I enjoy talking about AI news, tools, and helping beginners learn more about the space. Newsletter: https://beginnersinai.beehiiv.com/

OpenAI just made their AI 32x more efficient in 3 months.

That means running AI tasks went from expensive to dirt cheap.

When AI costs drop this fast, every app developer can suddenly afford to make their software smarter, if it makes sense to add AI in the first place.

AI tools are now auto-crediting themselves on coding projects without asking.

Or rather, AI companies are programming their AI software to add itself for exposure.

Hopefully they don't start doing this on PowerPoint presentations or things might get awkward for a lot of office workers.

Google just dropped something huge: type what app you want in plain English, and their AI coding agent builds it for you.

Complete with backend, database, the works.

This isn't a demo. It's live in Google AI Studio right now.

They're great for first drafts. Just don't ship without reading what they wrote.

Even Andrej Karpathy, former Tesla AI director, admits he's "not happy" with AI code quality.

His words: agents "bloat abstractions, have poor code aesthetics, are very prone to copy pasting code blocks and it's a mess."

They ignore his instruction files. A rule as simple as "one action per line of code" gets broken constantly.

If Karpathy can't get clean code from AI agents, that tells you something about where these tools actually are in 2026.

Their last phone, the Fire Phone, flopped hard. This time they're betting AI assistants are finally good enough to justify building a whole phone around one. Would you buy one?

Here's the original story: https://www.theverge.com/2026/3/20/amazon-transformer-phone

Amazon is building a new AI phone codenamed "Transformer." It would put Alexa at the center, skip app stores, and make Amazon shopping the default for everything.

An AI coding agent just ran the full video production pipeline by itself.

OpenClaw generated clips on Seedance 2.0, imported them into Premiere Pro, and edited the timeline. Zero human input on the editing side.

A separate Seedance 2.0 "Hancock vs Homelander" fight scene hit 22K likes in under 2 hours on X. People are comparing the output to real VFX work.

Six months ago, AI video meant blurry fingers and 4-second clips. Now it's automated end-to-end production.

If AI could handle ONE thing at your job for you — what would it be?

Reply below. You might be surprised how many of these AI can already do.

(I'll respond to every single one with a tool recommendation.)
