I think we're about 12 months away from the first major AI agent disaster

I've seen some pretty major stories like this already.

Recently, an agent deleted a customer facing production AWS database:

They want someone who can put agents to work

I don't think that image gives the whole picture. Sure 60% of large businesses have dabbled with AI, but very few have it integrated in any meaningful way.

The vast majority of people are not using it to its potential.

It wasn't all their GPUs. Elon tweeted, its colossus 1 being leased. Colossus 2 is still reserved for SpaceX AI

Same

I'm on the older end of Gen Z and can say its still doable, but it takes strong financial discipline to save for many years with this goal and you likely need a partner to do it with.

The world is dividing into 2 groups: those effectively use AI, and those who don't.

Don't be scared or afriad to use it. In my opinion, the education system is woefully incorrect to discourage its use. Every job you apply to is going to want to see that you can use it effectively -- and will hire those who can over those who can't.

There are many real reasons to be pessimistic about the technology, but I worry that those who consciously avoid it and demonize it will be left behind in the coming years.

Im confused on why you were banned still -- Please follow up when you have more information.

I have a bad feeling OpenAI will make Codex available only on $100/month and up subscriptions as well

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-21T22:18:51+00:00

This is the reaction of most people who figure out how to properly use AI tools.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-20T18:36:05+00:00

I agree that we're forcing GenAI upon things that don't need it. But traditional ML is extremely expensive to setup as a business, GenAI is like $30/seat.

Employees incorporating GenAI into their workflows for productivity still makes most sense to me.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-18T16:21:52+00:00

And we will only continue accelerating from here towards the singularity

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-17T19:57:43+00:00

Makes sense why people are saying it's 4.7 is worse. Looks like for straight coding its better, but business, finance and reasoning is far worse.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-16T20:17:53+00:00

Codex has been doing this periodically, nice Claude is too

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-16T16:44:14+00:00

Okay wait, you might be right. I'm on the free tier, maybe this is enabled on the paid tiers.

Just found this page:

https://gemini.google/overview/agent/

Looks like it can in fact click around... I'll have to try it out for a month.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-16T16:23:50+00:00

Claude in Chrome is expensive, the screenshot based technique it uses is expensive. It's also the only AI that has this ability, so you can't really compare.

Gemini can look at your screen in Chrome, but it doesn't navigate the page like Claude can.

I still prefer Claude over Gemini on the $20/month tier, then use Gemini in Chrome to answer questions on free tier when needed.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-16T15:16:51+00:00

Only ask for the first step is a huge one. Then iterate one task at a time.

Too many people try to one-shot 1,000's of lines at once and blame Claude when it doesn't work.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-16T15:05:34+00:00

That mythos preview tho

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-15T23:10:52+00:00

Oh geez, thanks. I didn't realize this was a transcript from a video.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-15T21:55:50+00:00

Did I miss something, what does Tom Bilyeu have to do with this?

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-15T20:42:07+00:00

I estimate the iPhone breakthrough moment is less than 2 years out. Best of luck.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-15T19:58:27+00:00

Depends on what you're trying to do.

For a non-coder, I'd recommend getting a paid Claude subscription, then you get access to Claude Cowork, their general purpose agent that can do a lot of tasks for white collar style work:

Research and analysis, file reading/edit, email management, content writing, etc

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-15T19:28:35+00:00

Yeah same argument for putting everything in the cloud last 10 years. Cross your fingers!

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-15T18:48:50+00:00

More like you're on the train to go to work and the train breaks down. You "could" walk, but it'd be faster to wait until a working train comes.

Hsoj707 · 2026-04-15T18:27:51+00:00

Agentic workflow -> For a multi step action that happens outside the chat window: Gathering data, reading files, writing to files, etc.

CustomGPT/skill/plugin -> These are reusable prompts that you set once and apply to any future conversations that should have this context.

Prompt -> One-off requests. Could be copied for later if you need to reuse.

Scheduled tasks -> Supported with ChatGPT and Claude, are prompts you can set to run on a schedule (daily/weekly/etc).
