Tangent here, but I think this bit is super interesting!
You could viably hire someone to do this work for that kind of money - I think the interesting thing is that substantially less interested/experimenting engineers would consider paying for a human to do this work, than would happily chuck a big amount of money into an LLM.
I don't have any suggestion about why that exists, but it's a strange and interesting contract.
