Madness. I love it.

My “AI is ending the world” feelings are definitely going in another direction in the past few weeks with the reverse engineering, jailbreaking, and porting scene.

Microsoft, Google, Oracle, etc, just invested all their money into a technology that will make their software worthless. As Ronald McDonald once said, I’m lovin’ it.

Was your prior feeling about AI based on the sum total of its negative externalities for society, or its not having produced enough gimmick software projects?

My comment as a whole is not meant to be taken this seriously.

If you think about it, home users will get free MIT licensed clones for Adobe/Autodesk/Solidworks and Microsoft. The companies will just get trained people in their homes for almost free and they will happily pay for support for Adobe/MS et all.

- Optimized and ultra-hardened Office for macros and features? Pay.

- CUDA optimized PS -with inline assembly maybe even from Rust- and more, 24/7 support with a huge Adobe asset pack to start with? Pay.

Bold of you to assume we'll still be using Office and Adobe in a few years. What happens when all the MIT solutions here are just a MCP?

Ironically these tools have MCP support and there's the whole Artcraft independent tool (yes, equally named) doing almost magic blending everything.

The are similar tools with the same philosophy on reimplementation and design. Oh, and written in Rust too. So the MIT tools are pretty much ahead.

They can be commanded from either an script done from an user (similar to AppleScript or VBA but for anything) or an MCP.

So all the experienced people already in the software field can’t use these models to go even further in their designs? I find that hard to believe in short, i think the bar to entry is just gonna go to a higher level.
