So then shouldn't someone be able to see these huge mountains of grains of sand?

Hey boss, I just wrote a script that saves me 3 hours of work a week, you got anything for me to do?

Hey, I just found 3 niche businesses that I can run because of AI and clear a million a year after costs.

Fight club rules apply, you dont talk about your advantages.

You get lawyers talking about their AI use (sometimes) because they are protected by the requirements of the bar. You people in niche businesses, or where it's about personal productivity, talking about it cause you cant replicate what they have done. You get folks in the sciences talking about how they are using LLM's to generate the python & scripts that make their world function with easy (rather than be a bottomless pit of time). These are people who might talk about their AI gains, but often have better things to do and don't run in programing / tech circles.

Unless you seek these people out you're not going to find their gains. It would be pretty hard for someone like anthropic to even begin to quantify time savings from generated code by "non programers" - because they don't have the data.
