"low/high level" starts to lose its meaning to me because it gets used in opposite ways
- mrayycombi 2y agoWhere are the low level CEOs vs high level CEOs? I'll bet AI could do their jobs right now. Can SOMEONE please write AI software to replace these people?
- ITB 2y agoAre you bothered by the fact that software engineers might be easier to automate?

- throwaway290 2y agoIt's the opposite. An LLM is better at CEO stuff than working code. A good developer + LLM instead of CEO can succeed. A good CEO + LLM instead of developer cannot succeed. (For a tech company)
- rsynnott 2y agoIs that a fact? I mean, see the linked article; even the company whose whole business model lies in convincing people that that _is_ a fact is kinda saying “yeah, perhaps not”, with vague promises of jam tomorrow.

- realitysballs 2y agoYeah low-level language conflated with low-level coders , means the opposite in some sense
- anonymoushn 2y agoEven better, if you click through to the linked source he doesn't say "low-level" at all, or make any claim that is at all like the claim he is cited as making!
