I was lucky to be young when the web arrived. I started as an animator, obsessing over keyframes, motion and pixels. Then Macromedia Flash, later Adobe Flash, showed me that animation could be controlled by code, so I became a craftsman of code too. For years, my advantage was being good at both. I could make things look good and make them work. That skill got me jobs, freelance work, helped me build a company and eventually work with some of the biggest brands in the world. Now I’m watching both crafts disappear into something new. I don’t think most people will look at lines of code much longer. You’ll tell an AI what you want, see what it makes, and keep directing it until it works exactly how you imagined. I think the same thing is coming for video. We romanticize timelines, keyframes, layers, mice and keyboards because those are the tools we spent decades mastering. But the timeline was never the goal. The code was never the goal. The goal was making something exist that didn’t exist before. When I first learned animation, I wanted to create my own characters and universes. I assumed I’d have to spend my career working my way through the industry and maybe, one day, earn the opportunity to make them. That isn’t true anymore. If you can imagine something, you can increasingly just describe it, see it, react to it, and keep directing until it becomes what you had in your head. I understand why that scares people. I spent decades learning skills that AI is rapidly making less necessary. But I think there’s another way to look at it. Think about everything you’ve wanted to create in your life but didn’t have the money, skills, team or time to make. How much of it can exist now? That might be the greatest creative opportunity in history. Enjoy the ride.

I got out of a traffic ticket because I had video too.

The internet gave us webmasters: people who did everything—code, design, UX, and backend. As things grew more complex, we became specialists. Now AI is bringing us full circle. We’re all becoming AI masters. The difference? You no longer need to know how to do everything. You just need to know what you want to build.

OpenAI seems to be establishing dominance in this hack apocalypse. You don't really hear of any Anthropic findings.

If there's a JavaScript hack, the world would explode.

Math is cooked, but mathematicians are probably among the few who understand it well enough to turn it into useful things that make money (or help people and then profit from that). Or, like with code, can anyone now ask AI how to use these new math discoveries to make money? Hold on, I'll be right back. I have to ask ChatGPT something lol.

Proof AGI is here

The truth is without Ai our P(doom) = 100%

Exactly, the more I work on building on top of it, the more I agree.
