Despite the negative reactions, I think this demonstrates how "make up some rules and follow them" is no longer intrinsically valuable. Likewise with coffee table books with a strong visual theme like, I dunno, cats wearing different hats. I can do that myself now.

For the individual, though, you do you. You can't automate self-expression.

In my experience, this was always an unrealized ideal. Too much pressure to ship, not enough to learn. To me the fact that I can interrogate Claude about this stuff is almost as valuable as the speed. (And I think it helps Claude too.)

I'm not an AI evangelist, but this kind of thing is such a welcome boon. More itches can be scratched!

I can't find anything that indicates the expected wait if you get in the reservation queue. Maybe I've been burned by too many Kickstarters.
