This is Josh Dawes.

I'm 48 and I've worked as a software engineer for 30 years.

I've grown numb to the Silicon Valley hype machine.

My default posture is meh, we'll see.

What I've seen and experienced firsthand in the past two months is not hype, ignored at your peril.

Now again, I do think that a lot of this is a little bit too far on the, oh my God side.

But I got to be real here.

The advances are getting faster and they are real.

And the more I dig into it, the more I see real concrete examples of certain areas.

Like the big one, the one that kicked off the episode we talked about last week or two weeks ago, was Anthropic putting in a thing that allowed a legal add-on.

And like I've seen, I saw a blog that kind of broke down how it's impacting the legal field.

Everything.

The entire email I created, everything.
