Are we cooked?

I work as a developer, and before this I was copium about AI, it was a form of self defense. But in Dec 2025 I bought subscriptions to gpt codex and claude. And honestly the impact was so strong that I still haven't recovered, I've barely written any code by hand since I bought the subscription And it's not that AI is better code than me. The point is that AI is replacing intellectual activity itself. This is absolutely not the same as automated machines in factories replacing human labor Neural networks aren't just about automating code, they're about automating intelligence as a whole. This is what AI really is. Any new tasks that arise can, in principle, be automated by a neural network. It's not a machine, not a calculator, not an assembly line, it's automation of intelligence in the b...

Built an autonomous system where 5 AI models argue about geopolitical crisis outcomes: Here’s what I learned about model behavior

I built a pipeline where 5 AI models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek) independently assess the probability of 30+ crisis scenarios twice daily. None of them see the others' outputs. An orchestrator synthesizes their reasoning into final projections. Some observations after 15 days of continuous operation: The models frequently disagree, sometimes by 25+ points. Grok tends to run hot on scenarios with OSINT signals. The orchestrator has to resolve these tensions every cycle. The models anchored to their own previous outputs when shown current probabilities, so I made them blind. Named rules in prompts became shortcuts the models cited instead of actually reasoning. Google Search grounding prevented source hallucination but not content hallucination, the model fabricated a $138...

The bottleneck flipped: AI made execution fast and exposed everything around it that isn’t

I've been tracking AI-driven layoffs for the past few months and something doesn't add up. Block cut 4,000 people (40% of workforce). Atlassian cut 1,600. Shopify told employees to prove AI can't do their job before asking for headcount. The script is always the same: CEO cites AI, stock ticks up. But then you look at the numbers. S&P Global found 42% of companies abandoned their AI initiatives in 2025, up from 17% the year before. A separate survey found 55% of CEOs who fired people "because of AI" already regret it. Klarna bragged AI could replace 700 employees, then quietly started hiring humans back when quality tanked. What I keep seeing across the research is that AI compressed execution speed dramatically; prototyping that took weeks now takes hours. But the coordination layer (...

Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

The human subconscious is such an interesting thing. No matter how much you think you’ve got it figured out, it’ll always spit out the most random stuff. Take me, for example. After coming home from a long day at the world’s most groundbreaking artificial intelligence organization, I’ll go to bed and have the weirdest dreams where people from the future are sobbing and begging me to change course. Anyone else ever have these? submitted by /u/Burgerb [link] [comments]
