GP commenter got my attention during the last few days. Judging by their claims of productivity, they should have been a billionaire already. I'm curious to know their motivation behind making such outrageous claims.

> You've been reliably adamant that AI will demolish this or that entire industry overnight for years at this point

We'll see who's right. I never said "overnight". Let's check in at the decade's end.

Y'all dunked on me in 2019 when I said AI was coming for Hollywood. Have you seen Seedance 2.0?

It's coming for us too. I've written five nines, active-active systems that handle billions of dollars of money movement daily. These systems can work in those contexts. I didn't think we'd be here this soon, and I actually thought LLMs were a dead end. I was wrong.

I'm not trying to sell Claude Code. I hate the concept of hyperscaler companies. I want there to be viable open source coding models - there just aren't. I'm merely reporting on my findings.

I sit at my machine for hours now in a prompt, review, test cycle. It's addictive. I'm getting more done at a faster rate than any time in my professional career. I'm excited, and I'm also worried. I don't know what happens after this.

If you've seen how much I praise AI, then you've also seen how much I rail against monopolies. I am worried these giant companies are going to take the means of production from us. I don't think enough people are freaking out about this. It's a very real possibility.

I'm just going to keep building. But you should pay close attention to what's happening.
