"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."
is brilliant writing. It's such good writing that it might convince you it's true. But it's cope. By that point, all senior engineer jobs will be automated too. And companies with old unknown chron jobs and USB sticks will get replaced by ones that innovate.

Quite a lot of smart people are taking it seriously
We are at AE Studio with research like https://ae.studio/research/self-referential and https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10188
Anthropic is doing interesting work here, Eleos exists (https://eleosai.org/), and https://digitalminds.substack.com/p/digital-minds-in-2025-a-... is a great review of other compelling work
The field is just beginning but it is worth taking a serious scientific approach to this work

Seems like the only difference from CardMunch is they import contacts to Salesforce for you.

Not incredibly ambitious, but would be cool:
Gmail like it used to be before the Google Plus redesign, with Boomerangforgmail and Idonethis built in
