Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Anthropic engineer Addy Osmani warns that AI could make us stop thinking for ourselves. Working on Claude Code, he says AI agents now handle so much of his work that he rarely needs to use critical thinking. He identifies three stages: “cognitive offloading” (delegating tasks), “deferral” (accepting AI answers) and “cognitive surrender” (trusting AI completely). “Skills that you stop exercising are going to go away, and probably faster than you might guess.”
