Anthropic just released Claude-mythos-5 .
While many people are focused on benchmarks and model rankings, I think the bigger lesson is something else.
Every new generation of AI is reducing the gap between having an idea and building a solution.
A few years ago, creating a product required a larger team, more time, and specialized skills across multiple areas.
Today, a single person can research, design, code, test, document, and launch faster than ever before.
Technology is no longer the biggest obstacle.
The real advantage comes from identifying meaningful problems, making good decisions, and taking consistent action.
AI continues to increase the speed of execution, but it cannot replace curiosity, ownership, and persistence.
The people who learn how to work effectively with AI will not simply become more productive. They will be able to create opportunities that were previously out of reach.
In the future, success may depend less on how much work you can do yourself and more on how well you can direct intelligent tools toward solving real problems.
Tools will continue to improve.
The question is whether we are improving with them.
🙌 🎉
Awesome!
Cool!

AI didn't take my job. It became my business partner.
Every designer I know is asking the same question right now: what's left for us when AI can make something pretty in 10 seconds?
Here's my honest answer, from branding and from product.
The way I work has completely changed. Moodboards, variations, mockups, even clickable prototypes: what used to take days now takes hours.
But here's what nobody says out loud: people are making a lot of pretty things. And pretty doesn't build a brand.
Pretty doesn't tell a stranger why they should trust you.
Pretty doesn't make your offer clear in 5 seconds.
Pretty doesn't fix the screen where users give up.
That part is still on me. It's actually most of my job now.
So I stopped seeing AI as a competitor. It does the drafts, I do the thinking, and my clients get both, faster.
Designers, how has AI changed the way you work this year?
Wonderful presentation and I like your thought you shared
Cool AI work
For me, it’s cultural context. AI can generate references, but it can’t fully replicate lived experience. As a South African creative, so much of my work relies on instinct, memory, language and the nuances of how we actually experience our culture.
