The bridge between hand-waving and doing it all #ai #innovation #fable5

I think Fable 5 is exposing a weird gap I think Fable 5 is exposing a weird gap in how we work. For most of history, in how we work. For most of history, in how we work. For most of history, we've had two modes, right? One mode is we've had two modes, right? One mode is we've had two modes, right? One mode is handwaving. You tell someone, you go handwaving. You tell someone, you go handwaving. You tell someone, you go figure this out. Please make this figure this out. Please make this figure this out. Please make this better. You look into this and you hope better. You look into this and you hope better. You look into this and you hope they understand what you meant. And they understand what you meant. And they understand what you meant. And maybe you have a conversation. The other maybe you have a conversation. The other maybe you have a conversation. The other mode is doing everything yourself. You mode is doing everything yourself. You mode is doing everything yourself. You get super detailed. You make the get super detailed. You make the get super detailed. You make the spreadsheet. You write the memo. You spreadsheet. You write the memo. You spreadsheet. You write the memo. You check every single line. You basically check every single line. You basically check every single line. You basically become the machine. AI creates this become the machine. AI creates this become the machine. AI creates this third mode that we're not very good at third mode that we're not very good at third mode that we're not very good at yet. It's this middle layer where you yet. It's this middle layer where you yet. It's this middle layer where you say, "Here's the outcome. Here's the say, "Here's the outcome. Here's the say, "Here's the outcome. Here's the bar. Here's what good looks like. Here bar. Here's what good looks like. Here bar. Here's what good looks like. Here are the constraints. Here's what I don't are the constraints. Here's what I don't are the constraints. Here's what I don't want. Now go produce the artifact." And want. Now go produce the artifact." And want. Now go produce the artifact." And that is not how most people have been that is not how most people have been that is not how most people have been trained to look. And with cheap models, trained to look. And with cheap models, trained to look. And with cheap models, you can kind of get away with being you can kind of get away with being you can kind of get away with being sloppy there because they don't run very sloppy there because they don't run very sloppy there because they don't run very well. But with a model like Fable 5, well. But with a model like Fable 5, well. But with a model like Fable 5, especially if it can work for hours, the especially if it can work for hours, the especially if it can work for hours, the sloppiness gets real expensive real sloppiness gets real expensive real sloppiness gets real expensive real fast. The model may be capable of magic, fast. The model may be capable of magic, fast. The model may be capable of magic, but you still have to sponsor the magic but you still have to sponsor the magic but you still have to sponsor the magic correctly. You have to know what spell correctly. You have to know what spell correctly. You have to know what spell you're asking for. That's the phrase I you're asking for. That's the phrase I you're asking for. That's the phrase I keep coming back to. Practical magic.

keep coming back to. Practical magic. keep coming back to. Practical magic. Not vibecoded magic. Not make this Not vibecoded magic. Not make this Not vibecoded magic. Not make this better. Practical magic. The ability to better. Practical magic. The ability to better. Practical magic. The ability to describe a hard valuable task clearly describe a hard valuable task clearly describe a hard valuable task clearly enough that a frontier model can go get enough that a frontier model can go get enough that a frontier model can go get it. That is going to be a real skill.
