Just because it’s “new” doesn’t mean it’s going to fulfill all our wildest fantasies. It’s becoming clear that these things are just… tools. Useful in certain situations, but ultimately not the game-changer they’re sold as.

For me its getting clear that there is so much broad ways of continues improvement, and constant speed, that if this continues like this, even a basic LLM can do a lot of jobs.

Just today cursor released a blog were they run an agent for a week and it build a browser.

Claude Code with subagents and hooks are really good too.

And it takes time to just get it and roll it out to everyone, it takes time to do research, experiments, it takes time to install GPUs and make them etc.

We are currently only limited by things we can progress on.
