t’s still very early days for all of this, and relatively little is known about Claude Mythos’s real capabilities, so we wanted to dig into what actually is known and what it all means.

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose. AI will never fill that void. www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 4mo agoFortune should be mortified—"A story by Lichtenberg sometimes starts with a prompt entered into Perplexity or Google’s NotebookLM, asking it to write something based on a headline he comes up with.

IMO the worst mistake people make trying to AI-proof their career is dropping everything to learn AI. It's like dropping out of math to study how to push calculator buttons really fast. The skill cap for AI is going to be your understanding of the underlying subject, not how good you are at prompts.
Since generative AI is based on scouring the large body of existing content for the most common patterns, relying on AI at work is a great way to be a drone who definitely doesn’t need a promotion or their own team or a project budget for their big interesting new idea they will never have
