"Something is happening"? No shite Sherlock! LOL
47 million views in under 24 hours. Matt Shumer is a six-year AI veteran who kept giving his family the polite cocktail-party version of what's happening with AI. He finally decided they deserved the real one and wrote it down. It went everywhere. Fast. The short version: the gap between what most people think AI can do and what it's actually doing right now is enormous. For me, that gap is some people are going to get caught completely off guard. The part I couldn't stop thinking about was his Monday. He tells AI what he wants built, walks away for four hours, comes back to find the finished product waiting. Not a rough draft. The actual thing. The AI tested its own work, clicked through it like a user would, decided when it was ready to hand over. That was two weeks ago. The other part worth sitting with: OpenAI included this in their actual release documentation for GPT-5.3 Codex. The new model was "instrumental in creating itself." It debugged its own training. Managed its own deployment. The AI helped build the next AI. Read that again. I've built dozens of apps using Claude Code, too many custom gpts to merit counting, automations, etc etc and blah blah blah. This stuff is literally my daily reality and not some bloody talking point. I contend those who are genuinely ahead right now aren't the ones with the fanciest credentials or the most followers. They're experimenting every single day with real curiosity. Matt (I can call him that since we are besties now) recommends one hour a day of actually using AI. Not reading about it. USING it. Trying something new. Giving it a harder problem than yesterday. Or the last hour depending. IYKYK He says if you do that for six months, you'll understand what's coming better than 99% of people around you. The bar is on the floor because almost nobody is doing anything at all. I'm blabbering... sooooo, have you read it yet? If not, wtaf 😂 are you waiting for. If you have, did it change what you're doing or just the speed at which you know you need to do it? I'm energized (and slightly terrified) by the implications. 🔥
