It's All Over
Claude Opus 4.5 is the single most significant thing that has ever happened in my career.
Do not take that statement lightly.
This is entirely embarrassing but I need to vocalise it because it needs to be said. The realisation kicked in this month for me as I am slowly coming around to the fact that everything I do on a computer and everything I do on a technical level, AI can do better now.
EVERYTHING.
Yeah yeah its not Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) but we're 95% of the way there. I don't need to wait for AGI. What is AGI to me anyway?
Yes, it can't do my dishes. Yes, it can't join multiple thoughts together yet because the window for thought is too small. This is all going to change in the future.
New discoveries are made because humans interface ideas across generations. Archimedes sat in a bathtub and a couple of hundred years later, we're floating oil rigs on the ocean. Our knowledge and principles are passed down from one individual to another and the combined exploration & discovery is what pushes our frontier forward.
AI cannot make those connections yet but it will get there. Sooner rather than later.
Everything is indeed, computer.
