Welcome to Lemma AI Spaces

I’ve been a software engineer for 15 years. I’ve built apps, led teams, shipped products. I thought I was safe from automation because I’m a “creator” not just a “user.” But this week I watched a demo of an AI agent that can take a vague product spec, write the entire codebase, deploy it, and […]

I keep seeing the same refrain everywhere: “Prompt engineering is a fad. It’ll be gone in a year once models get better.” I think that’s exactly backwards. And here’s why. **The conventional wisdom is that better models = less need for careful prompting.** GPT-5 or Gemini Ultra will just “understand what you mean,” so you […]

I’ve been a backend engineer for about 8 years, mid-level at a decent company, and I thought I was on a solid path. Then last week, my manager casually mentioned that our CTO is investing heavily in AI agents to automate our entire code review and deployment pipeline. He said, “Honestly, in five years, we […]

I’ve been coding since I was 14, professionally for 12 years. I always believed that software engineering was the safest, most future-proof career out there. You build things, you solve puzzles, you’re in demand everywhere. But lately, I’m questioning that. I’ve been using Copilot and ChatGPT daily for the past year. At first, it was […]

I’m 24, just a couple years out of college, working in data analysis. I thought I was making a smart move getting into a ‘tech’ field that’s growing. But lately, I’ve hit this mental wall I can’t shake. I was working on a pretty standard project the other day—cleaning data, building some visualizations, writing up […]

I don’t know if it’s burnout, anxiety, or just the pace of everything, but I’m feeling genuinely overwhelmed lately. I work in tech—not as an engineer, more on the product/strategy side—and I used to pride myself on staying ahead of trends. But the last six months have been a blur. Every week there’s a new […]

I’ve been reading about how high-frequency trading already controls something like 70% of US equity volume, and how almost all of those algorithms now use reinforcement learning trained on the same few datasets. So I sat down and wrote a speculative ‘incident report’ set in October 2028. The idea: a single AI hedge fund’s novel […]

Lately, I’ve been reading about the different ‘generations’ of AI and I can’t help but feel a mix of awe and confusion. It seems like we’re moving from systems that mainly process and predict information (AI 1.0) to more advanced ones that can plan, decide, and even act on their own (AI 2.0 and beyond). […]

Lately, I keep seeing surveys that predict AGI might arrive around 2040, but then I remember a few years ago, experts were thinking it wouldn’t be until 2060. Now, entrepreneurs are even betting on 2030. It’s wild how fast things are moving. I’m honestly torn. On one hand, I’m excited about the possibilities—what kind of […]

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with reading about the latest in AI research. On one hand, recent breakthroughs in large language models and the sheer amount of compute power available seem to suggest we’re accelerating toward human-level AI faster than anyone predicted. Some experts believe AGI could arrive within the next decade, maybe even in 5 […]
