The sooner those paths are closed for low-effort high-pay jobs, the better, IMO. All this money for no work is going to our heads.
It's time to learn some real math and science, the era of regurgitating UI templates is over.
- rfw300 2y agoI don’t want to be in the business of LLM defender, but it’s just hard to imagine this aging well when you step back and look at the pace of advancement here. In the realm of “real math and science”, O1 has improved from 0% to 50% on AIME today. A year ago, LLMs could only write little functions, not much better than searching StackOverflow. Today, they can write thousands of lines of code that work together with minimal supervision. I’m sure this tech continues to have many limitations, but every piece of trajectory evidence we have points in the same direction. I just think you should be prepared for the ratio of “real” work vs. LLM-capable work to become increasingly small.

You do realize that software development was one of the last social elevators, right? What you're asking for won't happen, let alone the fact that "real math and science" pay a pittance, there's a reason the pauper mathematician was a common meme.
