On The Lex Fridman podcast, DHH argues “AI psychosis” is actually a rational response to the scale of what’s happening. After 40 years working with computers, he says the advances he has witnessed in just the past two months have completely upended his understanding of the field.
His central point is that the real delusion is believing nothing fundamental has changed, that AI is merely an “electronic parrot.” Failing to recognize the gravity of the technological shift, he argues, is more detached from reality than being overwhelmed or exhilarated by it.
