Amthropic CEO claims we are 1yr away where AI can do everything SWEs
- Juliate 9mo agoI expected Anthropic to be clever enough to position themselves differently from OpenAI. This sounds like a failing marketing message; their critical long-term customers are people, not CEOs.
- dlcarrier 9mo agoThat's the same timeline as commercially viable fusion power plants, or fission power plants in a shipping container, or off-the-shelf self-driving cars that work in non-ideal conditions without human intervention, or batteries that charge in minutes, or work well in cold weather, or don't weigh a literal ton to get a half-usable towing range, etc…
- sargstuff 9mo agoUmmm... no time line on when AI's excpected to outsource to less expensive SWEs.

- andsoitis 9mo agoLogically, that means that Anthropic will fire all their SWE’s one year from now.
- thewhitetulip 9mo agoThat's what he said. AI is building AI so that's where they are headed. Most of my devs don't write code, they review it.
- andsoitis 9mo agoI would wager $1m that Anthropic will still have SWEs doing engineering work 3 years from now, if the company is still around.
- thewhitetulip 9mo agoYeah. And afaik and hage used AI models, unless you use claude opus 4.5high you don't get good results
- tjr 9mo agoIf AI can do the full job of a software engineer, then it can review code too.
- N_Lens 9mo agoTitlegore aside, we've been 6-12 months away from automating SWEs since GPT3.0 came out.
