The new SaaS is subagent as a service?


indeed! there is no reason why tooling for AI agents shouldn't use AI when tooling for humans is shifting towards AI


Yes, but also you'll never have any early evidence of the Foom until the Foom itself happens.


If only General Relativity had such an ironclad defense of being as unfalsifiable as Foom Hypothesis is. We could’ve avoided all of the quantum physics nonsense.



it doesn't mean it's unfalsifiable - it's a prediction about the future so you can falsify it when there's a bound on when it is going to happen. it just means there's little to no warning. I think it's a significant risk to AI progress that it can reach some sort of improvement speed > speed of warning or any threats from AI improvement


First, I built the software using my hands to do my bidding...

Now, the software is using my hands to its bidding?


I think your argument isn't exactly right.

You can imagine a future world where producing real goods and services is ~free (AI compute infinite etc.)

In this world, the entire economy will be ~advertising only so you can charge people anything at all instead of giving it away for free.


If your revenue model is predicated on Star Trek-style communism, it's maybe not a very realistic model. I really don't think if producing things is essentially free that advertising will be a very big thing since it would be pointless.


I was working on something almost similar, mostly to create a browser agent, and LLMs are really good at writing playwright scripts compared to vanilla JS.


I didn't realize the setup script had to be done in the UI over in the environment tab. I assumed it would be reading something like setup.sh from the codebase.

Docs could make that more clear
