My fellow AI explorers

Matt Shumer (CEO of HyperWrite) just dropped a viral bomb of an article arguing that we are in that exact same "overblown" phase with AI—except this time, the impact might be bigger than COVID. Whether the analogy is a bit dramatic or not, the data coming out of the latest models is hard to ignore. We aren't just looking at smarter chatbots anymore; we're looking at the start of a self-evolving flywheel.

The Intelligence Explosion: AI is Now Building AI

OpenAI and Anthropic have confirmed that their latest models (like GPT-5.3 Codex) were instrumental in creating themselves.

This creates a recursive feedback loop where smarter AI writes better code to build even smarter versions of itself, accelerating the timeline to AGI.

• Metric Explosion: According to Meter research, the length of tasks AI can handle is doubling every 7 months—jumping from 38-minute tasks to 6-hour tasks in less than a year.

• Recursive Training: OpenAI’s Codex team used the model to debug its own training and manage its own deployment.

• The 2027 Threshold: Anthropic’s CEO predicts AI systems will be broadly better than humans at almost all cognitive tasks by 2026 or 2027.

This isn't just about coding; the same growth curves are appearing in math, biology, and robotics. We are witnessing a "flywheel" where the thing getting smarter makes it easier to make the next thing even smarter.

🧠 Prediction: Within 12–18 months, we will see "autonomous researchers" that can run scientific experiments or build complex apps over the course of a week without human intervention.

The "Something Big" Warning: Is AI Moving Faster Than Society?

A viral article by Matt Shumer argues we are on the precipice of a massive societal shift that most people are completely unprepared for.

While many dismiss AI because of "hallucinations" they saw in 2024, the newest frontier models are showing signs of judgment and "taste" that were previously thought to be human-only.

• The "Vibe Coding" Era: Developers are moving from writing code to simply describing outcomes in plain English and walking away while the AI builds the finished product.

• The 2-Year Rule: If you haven't used a paid model in the last 6 months, you are essentially evaluating a "flip phone" while the rest of the world has moved to smartphones.

• The Institutional Alarm: CEOs from Nvidia, Anthropic, and OpenAI are all sounding the same horn: 10–20% unemployment or massive white-collar automation could be years—not decades—away.

The core of the argument is that AI labs aren't making predictions anymore; they are reporting what has already happened to their own workflows. When the people building the tech say they’ve handed 50% of their work to the models, we should probably listen.

🔮 Prediction: We are moving toward "Knowledge Agents" that don't just help you work but work for you autonomously for days at a time. The barrier to entry for building a software company is effectively hitting zero.

Build Your Own Personal Tool—With Zero Code

Stop asking ChatGPT questions and start asking it to build you solutions. Here’s how I built a custom YouTube title ranker in minutes:

1. Identify a Bottleneck: Find a repetitive task (e.g., "I spend too much time thinking of email subject lines").

2. Use a High-Reasoning Model: Open GPT-5.3 Codex or Claude Opus 4.6 (don't use the free versions for this!).

3. The "Outcome" Prompt: Instead of asking for advice, say: "Build me a standalone HTML/JavaScript tool where I can paste a video transcript and it gives me 5 viral title options based on [Your Favorite Creator's] style."

4. Iterate: If it’s not perfect, don't fix the code yourself. Tell the AI: "Make the UI darker and add a button to copy the best title to my clipboard."

5. Save and Use: Save the code as an .html file on your desktop. Boom. You’re now a software owner.

🔍 Why it’s special: You aren't just using an AI; you are using AI to create permanent leverage in your business.

💡 Pro tip: Use this for contract analysis, custom ROI calculators, or personalized learning dashboards.
