I have access to the latest paid models daily. I read the AI news. I try to be as highly critical as I can.<\/p>\n

Since that post<\/a> in 2022, much happened. Improvements are very incremental but at such a speed that the difference in pertinence and effectiveness in chatGPT and others\u2019 solutions and answers is just vastly superior a few years later.<\/p>\n

So, it is early 2026 and I can ask an AI to build a fully working app from a single prompt (almost). Any app, even a not-so-trivial one.<\/p>\n

At any given time, I have two Waymo cars<\/a> around me on the road.<\/p>\n

Robots are learning to skate<\/a>. I imagine that they will perform tricks soon.<\/p>\n

I am reading a book about Eames furniture. The cross fertilization of disciplines, how many folks did the work while Charles was just instigating it.<\/p>\n

Today and tomorrow, Charles would feed an AI his ideas. The AI would refine ad nauseam what he would like, and a bunch of robots would be orchestrated to actually build the chair. <\/p>\n

There wouldn\u2019t be be dozens of collaborators. One hefty mind, cutting-edge robotools, that\u2019s it. That\u2019s going to be the future.<\/p>\n

The number of workers needed is and will be in free fall soon because we already have too much of everything and new things will be built with a 1\/10th of the labor needed before this revolution.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s if progress stops right now. It won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Most people are sedated on their phones and are not seeing the tidal wave coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
