The post adds that coding may now account for more than half of OpenAI and Anthropic revenue. DeLong asks whether this developer experience gives a misleading picture of AI effects across the wider economy. The tweet frames these points as observations and open questions rather than settled conclusions. No further details or responses appear in the supplied packet.
