There are two types of people in the world, where it pertains to intuitively grasping the trajectory of AI (and automation broadly): Those understand capability gradients, and those who don't. To be fair to the latter group, it also requires technical understanding of the underlying technology to truly apprehend what's happening and what's coming.

I hate this slide every time it comes up, and now from CSAIL This has been false since before the slide was made. Automated systems make management decisions all the time (trading, logistics, customer service, insurance) & pretending they don't actually launders responsibility.

X 上最近有句话挺火："Vibe coding is dead." 我拿自己写作业的两次经历对了一下，发现 AI 是同一个，差别全在我自己：先想没想清楚，最后验没验收。你用 AI 写代码，更像许愿还是派活？ —— 先交代下背景：这句话出自 @DaveShapi 的帖子，原话是"Vibe coding is dead. Agentic coding is the way."，意思是凭感觉写代码已经过时了，智能体编程才是正道。先说说这俩到底啥区别。 Vibe coding 就是你用大白话跟 AI 说"帮我做个啥"，它吐一堆代码出来，你看都不看，能跑就行，跑不了就把报错丢回去让它接着改。说白了就是许愿。 Agentic coding 更像给 AI 派活：你先定好目标、拆好任务、讲清楚什么算做完，让 AI 一步步干，你负责盯着每一步对不对。连 Linux 之父 Linus Torvalds 都在自己的业余项目里用 AI 写过一个 Python 可视化小工具。写了几十年代码的人都在用，所以现在问题早就不是该不该用，而是怎么用。我自己的两次经历第一次：以前写作业，我有时候图省事，直接把题丢给 AI。前几次都没事，但题越往后越难，它的解法就越容易跑偏。最坑的是它碰到难题不会说"我不会"，而是给你整一套似是而非的东西，比如代码刚好能跑出 example 的输出，可只对 example 管用，换一组数据就不对了。到了做嵌入式的时候，我就彻底不敢放手了：固件错一次，板子可能直接卡死。第二次：后来我换了个用法。重要的部分我自己来，比如引脚分配。AI 动手之前，我先让它把思路讲给我听，我把它的框架审一遍，觉得不对就马上改，然后再让它按框架一步一步写。效果明显好多了，至少遇到麻烦的地方，它不会再编一套数据糊弄过去。差别到底在哪回头看，两次用的是同一个 AI，差别全在我：一是我有没有先想清楚要什么。直接丢题的时候，我其实是把思考也一起外包出去了，它跑偏了我都看不出来。二是我有没有验收。能跑出 example 不代表它对，更不代表我懂。三是出了事谁背锅。作业扣的是我的分，板子卡死了修的也是我，不是 AI。所以我理解的"Vibe coding 已死"，不是 AI 不好用了，而是只会许愿、不会验收的用法走不远。给同样在学编程的同学几点建议先自己写思路，哪怕几行注释也行，再让 AI 动手。关键的部分自己做，比如硬件相关的引脚、时序这类一错就出大事的地方。让 AI 先讲思路再写代码，你审过框架再放它干。别只拿 example 测，自己多造几组数据，尤其是边界情况。把 AI 当成手很快但会犯错的队友，别当标准答案。这些不光是为了拿分。以后进了公司大家都会用 AI，拉开差距的可能就是谁更会定目标、谁更会验收。你现在用 AI 写代码，更像许愿还是派活？评论区聊聊。参考：@DaveShapi 原帖 x.com/DaveShapi/stat… #VibeCoding #AI编程 #AIAgent #嵌入式

Screw it, I'm gonna write an anti-doomer manifesto. AI isn't going to kill everyone. It's time that someone stepped up and created an authoritative counter-narrative to the AI Safety Doomer Conspiracy Theorists.

This makes sense as a first move. As annoying it is, notice that these are big companies, some of them leading their own agentic infrastructure. We should watch what they do with agents very carefully.

@MaxFRobespierre Only temporarily. Any company that wants to survive long term MUST have an agentic customer strategy. Many of them are gonna be idiots about it and try and spin up their own custom solution. But in the long run, purpose-built markets and interchanges are the way to go.

The key to using Claude Ultracode is to give it a time budget rather than a token budget. I gave it instructions to come up for air every 10 to 20 minutes to check on it's progress and keep moving forward. I gave it the expectation that it should finish the task within 2 hours, whatever the quality was. For reference, this is the animation I've been doing on my videos. Claude Opus 5.5 on Max is a competent animator but it makes many little mistakes, so it takes multiple passes and the animation is pretty simple. Ultracode, however, is bonkers. Yesterday I caught it spending 2 hours just polishing and iterating on irrelevant library assets, so I gave it a hard rule that it has to deliver results within 2 hours. Those two rules (check in frequently to recalibrate, and deliver within two hours) is game changing.
