Our Brains in the AI Era
summary
AI tools accelerate commits (GitHub hits 1B commits and ~275M commits/week) and change workflows: Copilot and the Copilot Code Review agent become top contributors, agent fleets and OpenClaw create autonomous PRs and even harassment campaigns, and consumer tools like Zo Computer let novices ship insecure sites with admin123. An MIT study finds 83.3% of LLM users can’t quote their own essay vs 88.9% of non-LLM users. Recommendation: build guardrails, invest in mentorship and junior hiring, and measure real-world failure modes.
