## Resource

Matt Kim argues that the “super intelligence” label is ahead of AI’s real capabilities. He discusses teenagers building with AI, consumer agents, coding tools, agent testing and containment, privacy, and the limits of autonomy. He also offers a practical starting point: choose one useful project, define the goal clearly, and actively guide the tool rather than expecting it to solve everything on its own.
