Eric Schmidt making headlines for saying

"If you're writing code traditionally, stop. It's over"

But the worst part to me, isn't the part that's making headlines - it's that he thinks we don't have any friends, and that AI will be our friends.

"Because they're social, and they sit there, but they don't have that many friends. So they sit in their office, and they collect 10 Claude friends or 10 Gemini friends."

This individual (Eric Schmidt) is heavily invested in lots of AI companies, which he will selectively disclose.

His entire 'job' is to go on a world tour in parading his own AI investments and for everyone to admit defeat and replace their own confidence with AI.

Oh dear. He is normalizing AI psychosis.

Coding is a tool for thinking in general.The fact that claude is accomplishing task X does not imply that you should retire you own thinking.
