In other words we’ve dropped enough bombshells recently - let’s delay the next one

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

the craziest part now is that the modern computer probably has to be entirely reinvented, from scratch. pretty much like how jobs & co brought apple ii to market. like not improved. not given a chatbot sidebar or something but really from the ground up like the iphone redefined what it meant to be a pocket computer. the current paradigm for computers was built around a human staring at a screen, moving a cursor, opening apps, managing windows, naming files, remembering where things live, & manually translating intent into interface actions. that made sense when the human was the runtime. but in an ai native world, it starts to look kinda ridiculous. you can see this ridiculousness when you use computer use agents… they are useful sure, but they’re also obviously transitional. they’re teaching ai to operate machines designed for humans, which is clever, but also kind of absurd. it’s like making a robot hand so it can use a doorknob instead of asking why the door needs a knob at all. yes i know humans also need to use a door knob, but maybe in the future humans don’t need to use a computer, or at least what we think of a computer today at all. this all leads to some interesting questions: - what is a file when the system understands context? - what is an app when intent can route itself? - what is a desktop when work can be decomposed, executed, monitored, & summarized by agents? - what is a browser when the agent can retrieve, compare, transact, & remember? - what is an operating system when the primary user is no longer just a person, but a person plus a swarm of delegated intelligences? or no person at all. the old computer assumed navigation. the new computer has to assume a new kind of intention. the old computer organized information. the new computer has to try to organize agency. we’re still in the hacky middle stage at the moment with sidebars, copilots, agents clicking through legacy ui, & automation layers sitting on top of 40 year old metaphors. the new computer is likely one where memory, context, identity, permissions, tools, agents, & interfaces are native primitives. this means desktop, mobile, browser, apps, files, folders deserves another first principles look.

Hilarious and scary. Hilarious: love this guys content he brilliantly demonstrates how dumb ChatGPT and more broadly ai can be. Scary: this ai clearly isn’t rooted in truth seeking.

Sam says the issue was simple: the model didn’t have access to a timer tool. Fair. But the real problem? It still answered anyway. That’s the classic LLM move, no tools, no clue, but full confidence. Instead of saying “I can’t do that,” it just… vibes an answer into existence.

Before AI I had three unfinished projects. Now I have twelve. The tools got better. The discipline didn't.
