But when a mid-tier or entry level dev can do 60% of what a senior can do, it’ll be a great way to cut costs.

Same as how an entry level architect can build a building 60% as tall, and that'll last 60% as long, right?

Edit: And an entry level aerospace engineer with AI assistance will build a plane that's 60% as good at not crashing.

I'm not looking forward to the world I believe is coming...

Get 2 and the plane will be 120% as good!

In fact if children with AI are a mere 1% as good, a school with 150 children can build 150% as good!

I am sure this is how project management works, and if it is not maybe Elon can get Grok to claim that it is. (When not busy praising Hitler.)

this brooks no argument and it’s clear we should immediately throw all available resources at ai so as to get infinite improvement!!~

(I even heard some UN policy wonk spout the AGI line recently 🙄)

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
