Everyone in science and technology should watch "You and Your Research" from Richard Hamming. piped.video/watch?v=a1zDuOPk…

You don't need a new model, a new keyboard, a new harness, loops, or graphs. The reason that we don't see the fruits of AI is due to a lack of clarity and grounding in tech. Most are letting the models make decisions for them, and the models aren't good enough yet.

There is no recognition for hard work anymore.

I don’t understand the model hype on X. We have amazing models that are both fast and capable - from a whole zoo of providers. I’ve stopped caring about benchmarks.

Smaller, faster models like Gemini 3.7 or Terra are better than Opus-class models for software engineering.

AI is resulting in less critical and clear thinking across the industry. It’s why products are no better now, or are in fact, worse and more bloated than they were before AI. It’s too seductive to skip the hard step of using AI as a tool to sharpen your own thinking and instead have it produce the end result with little to understanding of the underlying problem, customer, technology, etc.
