That's the cognitive dissonance

How can two things be the same:

Iur AI will replace every SWE in the next 5yrs

Our tooling is bad

We need to buy a company that brought a revolution in python tooling

If LLMs and GTP5 codex is soo good then how isn't all tooling related to OpenAI ebinf written by it?

Same goes for Claude. They say Claude writes Claude... Why isn't Claude Code then writtten by Claude in such a way that it has a platform specific optimized binary rather than an Electron app.

It's almost as if they're generating hype for their sales/valuation

Because they need tooling in the next few months and not in 5 years.

Ofc its hype-based, when they say Claude writes Claude they mean Claude types most code, but the product decisions are made by people.

AI atm is not good without proper steering and most importantly AI doesn't decide what to build.

I'd wager astral team won't end up typing as much code for Codex, but they sure will architect and design the way people will interact through codex with a lot of dev tools in the ecosystem. That's what I would pay for in their shoes, access to their vision and already proven track record to design good tools.

Yes that's my point. Altman and Anthropic pretend that everyone will be jobless and AI is God. They say their AI writes a new version of AI

But this proves that even they don't use their own product because beyond the hype, it's simply not there yet.
