Silicon Valley's high earners keep chasing AI, and Armin Ronacher asks what the race is for

Never Enough

Ronacher points to two stories: a couple earning $550K a year fears an Anthropic employee will buy their dream home first, so the husband offloads parenting to become his company's top AI user; a founder records her dates and asks Claude to rate her empathy. He argues that instead of making room for life, tech is rearranging life around AI—every saved hour goes back into a race with no finish line.

Why it matters: Armin Ronacher's blog carries weight in dev circles; both anecdotes are specific, named, and sourced. Strong H and R. Lacks K—no new data or verifiable findings, it's commentary—so it lands at 78, the featured threshold.
