On the other, the trend seems to be everyone developing a million disparate tools that largely replicate the same functionality with the primary variation being greater-or-lesser lock-in to a particular set of services.
This is about the third tool this week I've taken a quick look at and thought "I don't see what this offers me that I don't already have with Roo, except only using Claude."
We're going to have to hit a collapse and consolidation cycle eventually, here. There's absolutely room for multiple options to thrive, but most of what I've seen lately has been "reimplement more or less the same thing in a slightly different wrapper."
Is there like a transition period where some people don't have to pay taxes and yet don't get UBI, and if so, why hasn't that come yet ? Why aren't the minimum tax thresholds going up if UBI could be right around the corner ?
To me as a layman, this feels like a clear explanation of how these tools break down, why they start going in circles when you reach a certain complexity, why they make a mess of unusual requirements, and why they have such an incredible nuanced grasp of complex ideas that are widely publicized, while being unable to draw basic conclusions about specific constraints in your project.
Text and words are the concepts we use to transfer knowledge in schools, across generations, etc. we describe concepts in words, so other people can learn these concepts.
Without words and text we would be like animals unable to express and think about concepts
It can also learn new things using trial and error with mcp tools. Once it has figured out some problem, you can ask it to summarize the insights for later use.
What would define as an AI mental model?
For home projects, I wish I could have GPT-5 plugged into Claude’s code CLI interface. iteration just works! Looking forward to less baby sitting in the future!
