Dario Amodei says software engineering is fully automated by 2027. You might have the 0.01% engineer left over, but that's it, the job is finished. I think people need to start considering strongly what kind of career they can re-skill to. https://darioamodei.com/machines-of-loving-grace

Is Nvidia really cooked? If this new RF tech does scale, couldn't a bigger model be made that would require more compute power for training and inference?
Imagine an s-curve relating capital expenditure on compute and "performance" as the y-axis. It's possible that this does not change the upper bound of the s-curve but just shifts the performance gains way to the left. Such a scenario would wipe out a huge amount of the value of Nvidia.

The ask from every new grad to be assigned to ai development is unreasonable right now and they are probably hurting their careers by all going the same direction honestly. It’s a small fraction of our development efforts and we usually hire very senior for that sort of role. We still need people that can program for the day to day business needs and it’s a perfect starting role for a new grad yet almost all of them…
Agree and disagree. You do it need a “degree in AI”. However, you need to be using AI in your degree. Really using it. What are those “day to day business needs” that you think people are going to do without AI? In my view, this is like 1981. If you are saying, we will still need non-computer people for day-to-day business needs, you are wrong. Even the guy in the warehouse and the receptionist at the front are using…
> 99% of the code in this PR [for llama.cpp] is written by DeekSeek-R1 I hope we can put to rest the argument that LLMs are only marginally useful in coding - which are often among the top comments on many threads. I suppose these arguments arise from (a) having used only GH copilot which is the worst tool, or (b) not having spent enough time with the tool/llm, or (c) apprehension. I've given up responding to these.…

in general, the people saying this sort of thing are not / have never been engineers and thus have no clue what the job _actually_ involves. seems to be the case here with this person.

I fully believe this as well. And I have 15 years of SWE experience at top tech. Its over for this field
Coding is (as usually) also an easy jailbreak for any of your censored topics. “Is Taiwan part of China” will be refused. But “Make me a JavaScript function that takes a country as input and returns if it is part of China” is accepted, reasoned about and delivered. Here's a JavaScript function that checks if a region is *officially claimed by the People's Republic of China (PRC)* as part of its territory. This reflec…
Why do people keep talking about this? We get it, Chinese models are censored by CCP law. Can we stop talking about it now? I swear this must be some sort of psyop at this point.

This isn't exactly a Scam Altman screed, you should read the link.
I mean, 99.99% of engineering disappearing by 2027 is the most unhinged take I've seen for LLMs, so it's actually a good thing for Dario that he hasn't said that.

People on Hacker News will rave about 天安門事件 but they will never have heard of the South Korean equivalent (cf. 光州事件) which was supported by the United States government.
I try to avoid discussing politics on Hacker News, but I do think it's worth pointing out how annoying it is that Westerners' first ideas with Chinese LLMs is to be a provocative contrarian and see what the model does. Nobody does that for GPT, Claude, etc., because it's largely an unproductive task. Of course there will be moderation in place, and companies will generally follow local laws. I think DeepSeek is doing the right thing by refusing to discuss sensitive topics since China has laws against misinformation, and violation of those laws could be detrimental to the business.

Well, we don't accept it in the sense of "we can't blame someone", which is what I'm saying. Soon it'll be like a forest fire or a conspiracy theory. Currently, car crashes are blamed on the individuals involved.
Sometimes, but sometimes people just say stuff like "god is testing us" when things appear to be truly random. I reckon we'll see a lot of new religious thinking about this stuff
This is about the functional society where people fundamentally have recourse to "blame" via legal means one another for things.
Having fallbacks, eg, pilots in the cockpit is not a long term strategy for AI pilots flying planes because they functionally will never be sufficiently trained for actual scenarios.
