Man... It's hard after seeing this to not be worried about the future of SWE
replyIf AI really is bench marking this well -> just sell it as a complete replacement which you can charge for some insane premium, just has to cost less than the employees...
I was worried before, but this is truly the darkest timeline if this is really what these companies are going for.
Of course it's what they're going for. If they could do it they'd replace all human labor - unfortunately it's looking like SWE might be the easiest of the bunch.
replyThe weirdest thing to me is how many working SWEs are actively supporting them in the mission.
Enthusiastically supporting them. It’s quite depressing to watch over the last few years. It’s not like they’re being coy about their aim…
replyDon't worry – if you're lucky they might decide to redistribute some of their profits to you when you're unemployed =)
replyOf course this assumes you're in the US, and that further AI advancements either lack the capabilities required to be a threat to humanity, or if they do, the AI stays in the hands of "the good guys" and remains aligned.
This is the playbook since GPT2
