jxnlco spoke at AI Engineer's Code Summit (presented by Google DeepMind), arguing that when execution is free, ambition is limited by what you own, what you can learn, and what you're curious enough to pursue. swyx quoted his line 'if you want good taste, you have to eat.' Slides highlighted real cases: ML consultant Paul Conyngham learning molecular biology to help his dog, and Hokkaido farmer Hiroki Tomiyasu running a broccoli farm with ChatGPT and Codex. Comments noted his art-school-to-AI-engineer path.
