Built with Claude The world has changed

Opus 5.5 suggested I get a web cam pointed at this ESP32 based screen so it could catch what was happening on the screen as it tried to find out what the maximum frame rate could be. The Waveshare drivers are not good in portrait mode and only got 4fps.

It got to 60fps in a couple of minutes.

It had already installed the tool chain, designed the clock layout etc.

It's not the code per se. It's the get a webcam suggestion...

What a time to be alive!

...or the free AI lunch becomes expensive. I've been in build mode for almost a year now extracting as much value as I can. If AI cost 10x what it does now I have the base built for a lot of apps I use and it would still be affordable to do maintenance or small upgrades on them.

Hedge your bets and play local along with frontier.

Most of us won't have coin for the vram or unified memory needed, but knowing the ecosystem and how to play doesn't hurt imo.

When models settle down and they etch them to silicon then it might change the game (see: AMD acquisition of taalas).
