Nicolas Cole says his "100x" AI output isn’t a smarter prompt — it’s his entire writing process, written down until AI had nothing left to guess.

TL;DR: Cole's "100x output" is 30 hours spent once, so AI now runs 80% of every draft on its own. He edits the last 10% — the taste-level stuff, never the typing. That distinction is already showing up outside this clip. Christian…

David Gerard (Pivot to AI): the internet’s used up — now the same scrapers are hammering smalll self-hosted servers like mine, non-stop.

David Gerard runs Pivot to AI oon a server that costs him €7 a month. Right now, something wearing a fake Chrome mask is hammering it — hopping IP addresses so he can't even block it properly, ignoring robots.txt because robots.txt was never …

Lauren Tan (Cursor engineer): I stopped writing code. Now I run quality control on a kitchen of agents.

“你在帮人倒米吗?“ Lauren Tan didn't get replaced by her own tooling. She got promoted by it — and nobody handed her that promotion. She built the case for it herself, one lint rule and one CI gate at a time, until the argument was undeniable. That&#…
