Reading, writing, thinking, code, design jobs are gone. Looks like only onlyfans remains. How long before AI can take over onlyfans?

Tailwind is for those who could code but can’t design. Figma is for those who could design but can’t code. This is for those who could neither design nor code.
This take might have sounded convincing a year ago. Now it just sounds foolish. The best coders on the planet are using AI. Why wouldn’t they use this?
If you look at Figmas stock price, it started falling right at 11 AM as this news was released. Anyways, this is 100% a shot at Figma, but also catching Lovable in the crossfire. If anybody from Anthropic is reading this, if you keep developing this with features in Figma and other design tools, you'll have a major hit on your hands.
If we expect Anthropic not only trying to replace just all software developers with Claude, but also all software product companies with Claude, then i really wanna know why the fuck are we cheering here for Anthropic on Hacker News? What kind of dumb sheep would do this?

For my agency this won't replace Figma or designers. It's just a really useful tool to express yourself and communicate intent. Before these tools, when a client wanted a specific section built, we'd spend hours hunting references across the web. The output always ended up feeling like a mesh of 2-3 sites, never fully unique. Then we'd burn more time explaining the intent to the client's designers and devs, usually w…
> this won't replace Figma or designers If every designer takes less time to do their job, you need less designers. There’s no getting around that simple math.

This is a really verbose way to say that using generative AI has a detrimental effect on the user because one deprives themselves of the learning experience.
I think that the beauty of the human experience is that all you need to learn is to practice. You automatically improve at what you're doing. The kinds of skills that atrophy when you use AI are skills that AI can already automate. And nobody is going to pay you to do slowly what a machine can do quickly/cheaply. When you deploy AI to build something, you wind up doing the work that the AI itself can't do. Holding la…
With the core programming skills atrophying, who’s going to have the skills to audit AI’s work?
Thumbs down. Great design is original thought. AI is wholly incapable of that. Go ahead and roast me.
> Great design is original thought. AI is wholly incapable of that This is entirely accurate, however I fear there's a lack of perspective: If you're in the middle of the desert and need to sit down, that random rock looks and feels great because there's nothing even close, around! One issue that a lot of experts fail to recognize is that "great" is relative: It's not apparent to the experts because they are only pul…
Really hope Anthropic didn't notice my ingenious work and quickly copy it.

> There's no shame in being homogenous and obvious, though. The real world analog is this... The reason people (especially Americans) stay in Marriott property hotels is because they are homogenous. If all I want to do is travel to Phoenix, AZ for work I want to know that the hotel room has the same mattress, desk, TV, customer service, etc. There is real legitimate value to that. So I'll book the Courtyard in Phoeni…
It is actually a rational choice. It is a defense against extremely bad experiences. A personal example from a few weeks back. My SO booked a hotel for a weekend as a birthday present. We went there, it had a fantastic spa, dinner was delicious, the room great, clean, and so on. Individually designed, well thought out, friendly staff. Breakfast came around and the coffee was abysmal. Really truly abysmal. What did we…
