"Build me a high speed railway. Make no mistakes."

Now that SaaS CRUD apps can be built in 10 minutes, we can maybe do something more worthwhile, no? So much wasted effort has gone into this field already, in my opinion.

The "lack of knowledge is an unambiguous net negative even to the powers that be".

I think it's far more ambiguous and less measured of a net negative, than it is a clear, measured net positive for the "powers that be" if we define them as the wealthy.

You can take a very clear, measured look at wealth distribution over the past 50 years.

Did anyone ever do a software project before AI? You can predict costs far better than you can with people.

Yeah, that guy you hired to write the prototype went on a 2 month bender and created 0 usable code. Did you budget for that? Oh, okay. The strategies to deal with spending on tokens are nothing compared to the overhead of managing actual people and their outputs.
