So do you believe that the gains from this technology will be broadly distributed? Or will capital capture the majority of those gains?

what technologies has "capital" captured the majority of gains from?

This would potentially be true for a lot of tech in the last five decades or so. When it gets cheaper to make the things people need and want without those needs and wants changing, you can get away with paying people a lower real wage for the same productivity. Couple that with the fact that the workers themselves also have typically grown more productive from the same tech, allowing companies to undercut competitors and capture more market share until everyone else catches on. I figure capital has benefited enormously from recent tech, very possible it captured the majority of the excess money produced.

What kind of things people are building that can be almost completely automatically built like this?

From my perspective: tons of very simple, duplicated software. The bad thing is - there is a lot of space on different markets for such software. Here in Poland you can earn for pretty decent life being lame programmer, but building simple automations for small companies. I was raised in a way I still don’t have courage to switch to such approach, but doing this for 3-4 such entities I can see how you can make living from that. With LLMs you can automate 90+% of the job if not more.

Pandora's box is open; we're moving towards a world where white collar workers will be working 24/7 and they'll be expected to do so. It won't matter if I'm washing the dishes, walking the dog, driving to the supermarket, picking up my kids from school. I'll always be switched on, on my phone, continuously talking to an LLM, delivering questionable features and building meaningless products, destroying in the process…

This technology should be liberatory, and allow us all to work less while enjoying the same standard of living. We've all contributed in its development by creating the whole corpus of the internet, without which it could never have been bootstrapped.

The only reason we can't expect this is that we live under a system that is arranged for the sole benefit of the owners of capital, and have been convinced that this is an immutable state of affairs or that our own personal advantage can be found in making a Faustian bargain with it.

You can do that if you want. Ill refuse. Ill take a manual labor job doing basically anything else for 40 hours a week over what your describing.

An LLM send may send the work ticket or work order lol but i get your point

This is a pretty sophisticated setup. I particularly like how it uses Tailscale. I've been using the simpler but not as flexible alternative: I'm running Claude Code for web (Anthropic's version of Codex Cloud) via the Claude iPhone app, with an environment I created called "Everything" which allows all network access. (This is moderately unsafe if you're working with private source code or environment variables cont…

I'm surprised to see people getting value from "web sandbox"-type setups, where you don't actually have access to the source code. Are folks really _that_ confident in LLMs as to entirely give up the ability to inspect the source code, or to interact with a running local instance of the service? Certainly that would be the ideal, but I'm surprised that confidence is currently running that high.

Claude Code on the web, ChatGPT Codex and Google Jules are not the same as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. They are entire apps where you authorize Github access and they work via PRs.

They'll include screenshots on your PRs etc.

I like using them a lot when I can.

I don't like typing long messages on my phone so this workflow, as cool as it sounds, wouldn't work for me. My current setup is that I have a Claude Code hook that runs whenever CC needs my input and it uses my Home Assistant instance to send a push notification to my phone. I then return back to the computer and continue on the work. This works reasonably well, but there is a gap for small messages or review comment…

I concur that phones aren't great as they are today, but perhaps this exact scenario will prompt the return of PDAs with proper keyboards etc? Or, alternatively, subcompact laptops like the stuff that https://gpdstore.net makes - they are still small enough to be pocketable (needs fairly large pockets but...), and yet you get a keyboard that is actually usable, and they even have one device with fold-out dual screen.

Are there really that many “things to do” that anyone, let alone everyone, will need to work that way?
