My hot take is that the evangelical people don't really like AI either they're just scared. I think you have to be outside of big tech to appreciate AI

- elzbardico 11mo agoIf AI replaces software engineers, people outside tech doesn't have much chance of surviving it too.
- LPisGood 11mo agoExactly. I think it’s pretty clear that software engineering is an “intelligence complete” problem. If you can automatically solve SWE than you can automatically solve pretty much all knowledge work.
- elzbardico 11mo agoA lot of modern corporate work is bullshit work. I don't think it is too outrageous to believe that LLMs can do a lot of what all those armies of corporate bureaucrats do.
- int_19h 11mo agoThe difference is that unlike SWEs, the people doing all that bullshit work are much better at networking, so they will (collectively) find a reason why they shouldn't be replaced with AI and push it through. SWEs could do so as well, if only we were unionized.
- elzbardico 11mo agoGotta agree that you have a point here, a pretty strong one indeed.
