opus 4.6 + codex 5.3 launching within 20min of each other is both insanely cool & crazy overwhelming. i honestly have no idea what to make of the pace of ai anymore. zero clue. we all knew it was coming, but now that we’re clearly in the start of the takeoff it feels different. my day is just using 9 different ai tabs at once and commanding them to do everything for me. agents are here, they work, and every week they get better. the exponential is ramping up. i do this all day and i can hardly keep up. everyone will have an ai that can do or build anything they need on-demand. you’ll have fleets of these things working for you 24/7 that can do knowledge work better and faster than any human. and that’s gonna be hear within what? a year? what are you supposed to make of that? feels like we’ll collectively have to raise our ambitions and that new unimaginably cool things will be possible. i’m looking forward to those things. best advice is probably just be happy and don’t die i guess? or put more beautifully: don’t forget to live. but the acceleration is speeding up in a *very* tangible way. not enough people read “machines of loving grace” and took it seriously. it’s all happening. it gets even weirder when you consider that the average person has absolutely no clue that any of this is happening. that part weirds me out. it all sounds so schizo even though it’s obviously not. sometimes i wish i was one of those blissfully ignorant normies haha. but it’s all just too fun. wouldn’t change a thing tbh. rare rant from me. but today had a particularly strong dose of “feel the agi” to it. crazy this is all real, as ilya would say. turns out that living through the singularity is pretty wild.
