@mikehostetler When I hear the word "Agent," I can only think of one:

@_aurumX It looks like they're flooded with AI slop apps.

I asked @claudeai to give me his take on your article. Here's what I got: `Honest take: the article mixes one real signal with a lot of marketing. What's real: - Demis Hassabis genuinely says ~2030. He's been consistent, and he's not a hype merchant — DeepMind tends to under-promise relative to OpenAI. - AGI capability gains since 2022 are unprecedented in the field's history. Timelines have compressed. - The career advice — taste, judgment, relationships — is sound regardless of timeline. What's overhyped: - "AGI" has no agreed definition. Demis means something specific (matches human cognitive breadth). Sam Altman means "useful at most economic tasks." The press collapses both into "smarter than humans." Different bets. - Sample of one. Yann LeCun (Meta) says decades and current LLMs are a dead-end road to AGI. François Chollet (ARC prize) says we're missing core capabilities. Gary Marcus says never on this paradigm. Picking Demis's number alone is cherry-picking. - "Maximum 4 years" is a confidence claim no one can back. AI forecasting has a brutal track record both directions (self-driving was 2 years away in 2016). - The frame — "shook his hand, here's what it means for your job" — is a rhetorical move. A 2-minute hallway chat at I/O isn't insider access; it's PR. - The author's business model rewards urgency. Newsletter → Substack → consulting funnel works better when readers feel the clock ticking. The useful reframe: The advice ("be the person worth having lunch with, develop taste, take responsibility") is goodvwhether AGI arrives in 2030 or 2050 or never. That's the giveaway — it's a hedge dressed as a prediction. If thevprescription survives the prediction being wrong, the prediction was decoration. My honest probability: meaningful AI capability disruption to knowledge work by 2030 — high. Demis's specific AGIvdefinition by 2030 — maybe 25-35%. Civilization-rewriting Singularity by 2030 — low. The article treats all three as thevsame event. Read it for the career advice. Discount the timeline by ~50%.` @rubenhassid what do you think?

@josevalim I’m afraid that thinking process is dead. Where are all the people and their thoughts? Posts and articles written by humans? It’s starting to feel lonely here…

My morning reflection: We are entering an era in which thinking is becoming optional, robbing us of the capacity to form thoughts of our own. Beware!

@hooeem Enjoyed reading the article, but honestly, what do you get in the end? A pile of narrow-scoped documents that are going to drive your decisions? I don't know; it feels to me like productive procrastination rather than doing something that will increase one's output.

Hey @conductor_build, is there any way to annotate files and send feedback back to the agent? That’s the only thing I’m missing in Conductor.

@arvidkahl And let’s hope that future brings us as many capable local models as possible. Open-source ftw!

@arvidkahl All these big guys are trying to tighten the rope around our necks with their tools. Staying as independent as possible is key today — don’t buy 100% into any of their ecosystems. Use their models, but keep control over the harness, context and infra!
