Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

You say decades, some people say years, and people are competing on the size of their data centers.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

There isn't such a clear message around

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

I think living with the fact that this is going to be like electricity and we need to understand how to use it, how to not be scared of it, and also how to know that if there's a bare wire leading into the plug, we need to flick the circuit breaker off before we get close to it.

Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

That's the bit I think that perhaps we need to move to in 26 and 27, which is it's going to be here.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

You really ought to learn because you'll inoculate yourself from some of the downsides.

I find it such a massive dopamine hit to vibe code.

And if you look at my GitHub commit log, there's nothing until for years from January 2012 when I was ordered by my development team never to commit another line of code.

Again, because of the quality to November and now it's just dark green code.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

Every single day, 220,000 lines of code committed this year alone.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

And I get this huge dopamine rush with one downside, by the way, which is there are no consequences for the AI engineer when it gets it wrong and wastes my time.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

And there are tons of consequences for me.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

So I've had tons of fun.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

But have you been vibe coding then?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

Have you built something that no one would ever build, but it's just perfect for you?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

AI nerds and DJs.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

So mine is, I've done something similar.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

I've got 4,000 tracks on my car drives that happen to be in a load of different places.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

They've not all been post-processed well.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Mustafa Suleyman โ€” AI is hacking our empathy circuits

So I built a system to scoop them all up, put them in one place, check if they're processed, process them correctly.

I then built a system and you can see my mood.
