> How surreal is it that we are not absolutely jaw-dropped by these types of capability improvements?
We are. Now we have a new tool and many of us are using it. But we're also nearly all way too aware of the insane (near infinite) amount of sloppy-pasta code out there and of all the vibe-coded projects that went absolutely nowhere.
I'm a "show me the money" type of guy. I see, say, Linux, Git and OpenSSH: these weren't vibe-coded. And they took over and are running the entire world.
Where is the AI-coded killer app? One app, in any domain: something that took over its world.
I don't want to see yes man sloppy-pasta stuff: where's the next Blender? Where's the next 3D slicer?
I wouldn't be paying three AI subscriptions if I didn't believe in those new tools but I don't think it helps to only see the PR and then play the won't hear / won't see / won't hear monkey about the infinite amount of sloppy-pasta that's out there.
Six months ago we had the "one shot'ted compiler by Anthropic". Six months later: who's using it to compile anything? And who wrote another compiler? Where are all the one-shot'ted compilers all so good that they replaced our human-written compilers?
Yup, us, humans, created yet another incredible machine... But please,
