the main concern here is what is needed to create and sustain that growth rate.
here are three potential issues:
1. there is a short term incentive for lying -- tricking people can get you a long way (e.g. delve)
2. there's a genuine long term incentive for selling products that have short term benefit but long term harm (e.g. gambling, cigarettes, etc).
3. there is a durable incentive to sell products that genuinely benefit for your customers but cause net harm to society -- this last one is a hard problem of capitalism, and imo it's the gov'ts job to make sure that such companies are not allowed to win.
if they are selling to a business, the biz will pay if it solves their problem. if the solution doesn't solve their problem, or something else solves their problem that is easier / cheaper / better, the business will not pay.
the version of this skillset that stays employed is "now I translate 10000x more than i could before by managing a fleet of agents. by encoding my experienced taste and judgement into robust evals, I've helped my ai translators be far better than chatgpt on its own, and much more cost effective compared to manual human translation"
imo the exterior looks like a cartoon BYD and should be killed with fire.
however while folks are negative on Ive for the car shape, he only designed the interiors not the car body, and the interiors are kinda lovely car interior design:
-no touchscreen (dangerous while driving)
-clicky, intuitive tactile switches and buttons
-thoughtful use of color (display base color changes based on driving mode)
I mean even just looking at those air conditioning vents (rotate vent to open/close) is classive Ive: intuitive but sophisticated.
I hope more manufacturers copy these new/old patterns on the interiors.
> Every software developer knows that you can’t make projects go faster just by typing faster. If that were the case we would all be taking typing lessons.
^ this statement is false. typing infinitely fast would make software development much faster.
typing infinitely fast would not make shipping useful products and features instantaneous, because there is product, technical, and organizational uncertainty that requires iteration and "cross functional collaboration" to figure out.
interesting visualization of 51 real engineering tasks completed by openclaw ai engineers during March 2026
I was having a hard time explaining how my OpenClaw ai engineering orchestrator runs a structured engineering process by dispatching tasks to OpenAI Codex or Claude Code
...so i rendered it into a video game.
watch a team of Claude-powered ai employees compete against team OpenAI on real Kopi AI engineering tasks.
you are seeing a visualization of 51 actual tasks executed on by a team of openclaw AI engineers during March 2026
these engineers all follow the same structured process.
a task is created by me from slack, and the ai starts a structured process to execute on the task
each desk represents a sub-task dispatched to this employee's coding agent -- either claude code or openai codex
in this way we have two competing teams of ai engineers -- openai vs claude -- you can see each team's score on the left
every employee plans, builds, audits, fixes, tests, and if thye are succesful, creates a PR.
Sometimes they have to audit and fix in a loop several times before they get approval.
if their PR is successfully merged, they get a quick moment to enjoy the plants on the top floor, and then it's back to work.
Sophie is one of our star employees, but not everyone is doing so well.
Sometimes tasks don't get merged, and they fail.
this openclaw engineering system is called b0b, and it's open source on github
