@pmarca @illscience The craziest part to me isn't even the raw capabilities. It's that these systems improve by an order of magnitude every few months A dev I worked with last year said it perfectly: We're not seeing the lightbulb moment, we're seeing the electricity grid being built in real time

@pmarca @illscience Every major technology wave expands human capability. AI feels different because it amplifies thinking itself.

@pmarca @illscience Powerful, yes. But the real shift isn’t intelligence scaling. It’s responsibility. Humanity has built powerful tools before. What we haven’t built is mature governance for them.

@pmarca @illscience AI has drastically lowered friction for orthogonal thinkers because it excels at cross domain analysis and synthesis. It can hold multiple frameworks in working memory at once while I look for patterns and clashes. Those form the spark of innovation.

@pmarca @illscience AI finding God when?

@pmarca @illscience Wait I thought “it’s just math”

@pmarca @illscience To truly appreciate #AI, one has to have survived years-long builds, countless hours QA’ing, and lived through the hellish existence of building the things the rest of society will always take for granted.

@pmarca @illscience 900 million users is the proof. 'bigger than the wheel' is just noise around it.

@pmarca @illscience Honestly hard to argue with this. The first time I watched an agent spin up a full codebase from a single prompt, it felt like witnessing something shift permanently. The wheel comparison sounds wild until you realize how much of modern life AI will touch.

@pmarca @illscience 900M WAU is a sociological shift. We aren't just using tools; we're outsourcing cognition. AI isn't the wheel; it's the fire of the 21st century.

@pmarca @illscience cool

@pmarca @illscience claude code hit different. i fully get the 'seen God' thing now

@pmarca @illscience Chatgpt explains clearer than other ai

AI isn’t just a product shift; it’s a data infrastructure shift where the winners will be the organizations that own longitudinal behavioral datasets, not just models. The real moat will come from continuously compounding data about how work actually happens across roles, tools, and time.

@pmarca @illscience AI will accelerate research and turn vision into visual

@pmarca @illscience The operations test is the real one. AI is orders of magnitude better at language tasks. Physical supply chains, manufacturing schedules, disruption response: that's where 'bigger than the wheel' gets tested. The wins so far are mostly in the digital layer.

@GuillaumeMbh @pmarca @illscience Big technology claims are easy at the narrative peak. The harder question is which human bottleneck this actually removes permanently, versus which ones it just rearranges behind a much more impressive interface.

@pmarca @illscience The wheel analogy undersells it. The wheel extended physical capability. AI extends judgment. Physical tools have diminishing returns at scale. Judgment tools compound.

@pmarca @illscience the real impact of incredible ai will come from the companies built on top of it. what makes this shift different is just how fast everything is moving.

Why it's categorically different from the wheel, the press, or the internet: Every previous technology extended a human capability — strength, memory, communication. AI extends coordination — the function that made organizations necessary in the first place. That's not a faster wheel. It's the removal of the road.

@pmarca @illscience ai has helped most non technical professions a lot in this past months. it effect is gradually showing but anthropic isn't taking it easy on us

@pmarca @illscience The only faster adoption will come from that which redistributes wealth in order to provide enough for people to survive. Social capitalism is the final system.

@pmarca @illscience the 'bigger than the wheel' frame is interesting because wheels don't build better wheels. but AI does write better AI. the compounding is the point. every prior GPT plateaued. this one hasn't hit that ceiling yet.
