Nothing in this space “smells right” at the moment.

Half the “ai” vendors outside of frontier labs are trying to sell shovels to each other, every other bubbly new post is about this-weeks-new-ai-workflow, but very few instances of “shutting up and delivering”. Even the Anthropic C compiler was torn to pieces in the comments the other day.

At the moment everything feels a lot like the people meticulously organising desks and calendars and writing pretty titles on blank pages and booking lots of important sounding meetings, but not actually…doing any work?
