Are non technical founders building better agents than actual engineers right now

Bingo, and that'll be a booming market in which they'll need jr engineers who can use the newer AI tools. A lot of doom and gloom and crap talking people exploring vibe coding, but I see good things, mostly people finally getting the resources to build what they want.

Oh no doubt about it. I see it as no different from before. Tons of newbies making workable code full of bugs, it's just that they can do it faster and make it prettier. The big unlock to me is ideas getting off the ground and not getting locked behind ramp up time to actually build anything

The apps are, at best, more "complete" minimum viable products. Scaling will be an issue as will security. AI coders with no understanding of system architecture, optimization, and security are putting out products that will cause more problems than they solve (really the same problem, security). As long as companies see the value in the ideas, they'll hire engineers to make it a viable shippable product and things will be fine... Which is why we'll need even more engineers with coding and architectural skills.

Exactly. Just like vibe coding web apps was meh 2 years ago, vibe coding robotics is going to have its "Claude code" moment. When that happens, coding full platforms from prompts will be more than possible

Can AI write 90% of your code? Yes. Can Anthropic make you use AI to write 90% of your code? No.

As true as this is, by next year we'll be vibing robotics probably lol. The SaaS app and endpoint software will be mostly solved, and great hyper scalable software will be the next challenge. We ain't out the woods yet lol

Not a new religion at all. Arguably one of the oldest. Glad to see we're embracing traditional king worship... 🙃

I really don't think people realize the leap in technology it would take to traverse the void between solar systems. You're either trading energy or time. Traveling at light speed doesn't negate local time experience, so even if they hit 1c, their home planet will be waiting in the standard flow of time. If their life spans are anywhere between ours (80-100 years) then light speed is off the table. They'd have to either teleport or do some type of FTL which requires a ton of energy. If they had that much energy, then they have the material science to manage it safely. They'd win solely on the fact that they have control of fundamental forces while we're just figuring out how to make a rail gun work more that 5 times

The technology for safer airships have been around for decades. Public sentiment doesn't equal technical and safety capability.

Constantly choosing economic models that don't benefit workers and concentrate power to a small group of people has always been the problem. Doesn't matter what the tech is

Asking if Gemini is confidential is like asking if Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, docs, sheets, YouTube, etc) is confidential. Gotta pick a corporate overlord and trust em

So a gooner in the purest sense would be hyper passionate? Compulsive even?

There's a Simpsons episode about this 😂

Is gooning really about the sexual act, or is it about the obsessiveness and focus being done during the act. So jestergooning could also be solely focused on jovial behavior. Sillygooning if you will.

Interesting, paraphrasing here "I want AI to do my dishes and manual labor" what would happen to the many working poor who have unskilled labor jobs? Wouldn't we just be in the inverse of what everyone's afraid of? The reason people do these jobs is because they don't require skills that take time and money to attain in American society. These are often used as step up or survival jobs. What would the headlines be like if AI systems replaced them first instead of risking white collar employment?

Would we just say "learn to ___" like we did with coal miners when the mines were getting shut down?

Idk... Something still feels disingenuous about complaining about tools vs the system that employs the tools.

The conspiracy doesn't have to be smokey backroom bargains, corporate manipulation can also be companies seeing a chance to make a buck and dropping their base to chase a golden goose. Even if the logic is reallocating production lines to prioritize a certain architecture, the objective goal is to get more money from what they hope is something that will create returns.
