This is me. I was in a leadership role at a large institution and made the mistake of joining a promising startup (great partners, good funding).
In 2021, the company went down, and since then I have been rejected for everything. And by everything, I literally mean every possible way to get money in. I have only been scraping the leftovers at the bottom. Recently, I joined an outsourcing company to do digital transformation work (I have deep AI experience). It's shocking to see people getting hired with 0-1 interviews who then prove to be incompetent just because they are the right caste.

I think we are at the beginning of a new golden age of software engineering, but not in the way we think. The cost of creating software might go down to zero with AI. That doesn't mean that no skills are needed. Quite the opposite. If AI would create outstanding code, then it would win every Kaggle coding competition on the planet. But it doesn't.

Maybe the engineer makes 90K, but there are still thousands in social contributions. Can be up to 15K.

An LLM is just a brain in a vat.
Our brains would also not reason in such a condition.
Given the right framework that can do miraculous things.
I am not saying that these systems are conscious, but they are able to abstract their context in a way allowing them to understand their own limitations.

Mistral's annual revenue (700M) is what Anthropic generates in 3 days.
It will be extremely difficult to build new models with these numbers.

It is indeed a huge success but it also underlines how far ahead the rest of the world is.
