I started using Claude and had the same reaction as John. I'm planning for my first baby and having been using Claude to basically be my personal assistant. I want to have systems in place so that when the baby comes, so I've been working with Claude in Notion to build databases, schedules, and plans. Essentially, Claude is quickly becoming not just my personal assistant but my manager.
This is just very basic stuff, but like John, I see how this is connected to the bigger picture. The fact that capital markets on Wall Street are now responding to what's happening suggests acceleration is well underway. The projections that massive job losses are coming sometime in 2026/2027 is right on schedule. Everyone needs to watch this to see with their own eyes the magnitude of what's happening.
My experience is similar. I recently began using Claude and other agents to help code. It does help, but only to the extent I know what (I think) needs to be done, and with AI help, can explore what options are available, select one, and guide the solution, sometimes doing have in coding myself, more often stating what I would like done - sometimes very specifically, sometimes generally. Often I see something has been done poorly or incorrectly it inefficiently, and provide guidance or prompts for corrections or redirection. But I don't think I could do this without a clear idea of what I wanted done, which as John says, requires life experience. I also didn't think it could be fine without dinner reasonable knowledge of coding, but perhaps John has proved me wrong. What does this mean for jobs - my own and others - in the immediate future, and beyond? I really don't know, but having used AI I am more confident that in it's current form it is still here to serve us. The fact it can translate requirements in English to usable tools that help make decisions and manage affairs ... I'm more optimistic that people can and will adapt. Where demand comes from for future entry level jobs, to gain experience, to learn what needs to be done, I don't know. Maybe it will be a house of cards that collapses once the generations that follow don't gain the opportunity to develop. Maybe it will recursively enhance itself until it is passably more intelligent than us. I'm still sceptical that will happen - it's really just a giant mimicry or most popular prediction machine ... I'm not seeing any evidence yet it can actually think, it just gives the convincing impression that it can. Full disclosure, I haven't tried Open Claw.
