This Tweet is making the rounds: &quot;Nearly every ambitious person I know who has dived into AI is working harder than ever, and longer hours than ever. Fascinating dynamic tbh. I have NEVER worked this hard, nor had this much fun with work.&quot; I&#39;m in this Tweet.

@mitsuhiko same! Though I would add "for programming" after "dived into AI" - I get little such joy from using it for anything else. But it's exhilarating to build software with it. Also I appreciate seeing this content on the Fediverse.

@mitsuhiko there are a bunch of projects I had on my todo list, some for years, that I could have done at any time, but they would have taken more effort/time than I had in me. Over the holidays, I knocked out a half dozen of them, including a couple of quite large ones. I was extremely skeptical, but I've now done several projects with it, and I can't pretend the results aren't astonishing. I don't think a non-technical person could have done any of them, but it sure made me faster.

@mitsuhiko that’s because #AI absorbs time as well as it absorbs power and water.
