alt Hacker NewsPersonally, I am stunned at how fast - and autonomously - you can get to a very decent 80/20 result with AI these days. And since Opus 5.5 was released I really think it hit another level.
As an example, this was a "silly" one-shot prompt/result I created/received, which goes into a similar direction of what Felix created in terms of UX and aesthetics:

Sure it lacks the finish and attention to detail. But this was one prompt (vs. 60 threads).
Thoughts: I find this both exciting and a bit unsettling. Idea-to-product time in tech just keeps shrinking and shrinking. I feel limited by my own ideas now (1), and by the fact that everything still remains "digital" - ChatGPT still can't build me a house or fix my broken knee (2).
Unlike others, the issue I have is not using AI to have fun and be creative, I do it all the time like a one off table top character sheet tool.
It is the claim that the 60 agents produced competent optimized code when the response here clearly shows that is not the case. But I can excuse ignorance when someone is learning but there was no learning here. There was no interest in learning anything more than “i like that, no not that, make it run better”.
Then this bold claim about how creativity has somehow fundamentally changed because they found a new kind of ink for their printer. Sure kid.
