Some people keep saying not to learn to code on the grounds that AI would automate it. We will look back on that as some of the worst career advice ever given. AI will make software development easier, just like the compiler did. Or open source. Or the cloud.... show more

Andrew Ng, co-founder of Google Brain and Coursera, on the worst career advice being given about AI right now: He doesn't mince words about what he's hearing from supposed experts: "As early as earlier this year and certainly last year, there are a few people advising others to stop learning to write code because AI will automate it." His reasoning is rooted in a historical pattern most people miss: "As something becomes easier, more people should do it, not fewer. When the world moved from assembly language to COBOL, there were actually articles saying, 'Well, we now have COBOL. Programming is so easier. Looks like we don't need programmers anymore.' But the opposite happened." Andrew believes the same thing is happening now with AI-assisted coding: "As we now have AI assisted coding, a lot more people should be coding. And I think the demand for software, custom software, has no practical ceiling. So the cost of software engineering comes down, which it is, we'll just get more and more great software out in the world." But here's where the advice gets uncomfortable for experienced engineers. Andrew Ng is honest about what he's seeing on the ground: "It is true that a fresh college grad that is really on top of AI will outperform a full stack engineer with 10 years of experience that is still doing things they were back in 2022, 3 years ago before GenAI." However, there's a nuance most people miss when they hear that stereotype: "The other piece that is less well appreciated is the best engineers I know are not fresh college grads. They're actually very experienced engineers that deeply understand architecture and the conceptual framework of how to think about computers and additionally are on top of AI and on top of these AI skills."

Shedeur Sanders on the play before this (also included), did not throw it with urgency. Followed that up with this unnecessary interception when it’s just easier to go down, or make a quicker decision. Will learn to keep the same focus, on every play, zone or man coverage.

I have a huge distrust of anyone who hates or fuds vibe coding Before AI, it took years to learn to code, and everyone was very envious of talented devs that could automate anything Now the playing field is more level, people should be excited not jaded

🚨ZUCK: "Probably in 2025, Meta, as well as other companies, will have an AI that can effectively be a mid-level engineer that you have at your company that can write code. In the beginning that will be very expensive to run, then at some point a lot of the code we have in our apps will be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers. In my opinion that will augment the people working on it. My view is that in the future people will be so much more creative and freed up to do crazy things."

.tylercowen believes AI will change religion just as profoundly as past technologies like the printing press. "People more and more look to the AIs for wisdom, therapy, counseling, warmth, and dialogue. This will extend into the sphere of religion." "Why ask your priest or rabbi when the AI knows more about the Bible or the history of the Catholic Church? I think a lot of people will do religion solo through their AIs. Over time, more oracles will evolve. It'll be an kind of implicit polytheism." "Religion changes every time there's a new technology. We saw that with the printing press. This is the next stage in that evolution." From his appearance on the show in January.

Elon Musk: At this point, education is mostly a social experience. You don’t actually need school to learn anymore. With AI, you can learn just as much—or more—on your phone at home. School is becoming less about knowledge and more about being around people your own age. People should go to school today mainly for the social side of it. The learning itself? AI can already do that better. Conventional schooling could be vastly improved, and individualized AI teachers will outperform the one-size-fits-all classroom. Education doesn’t need to happen in a building anymore. You could learn everything at home on your phone. Kids go to school to hang out, build social skills, and experience a coming-of-age—not because it’s the most effective way to learn. School today functions as a social filter, not a learning engine. AI handles the learning better. Humans still go to school for friendships, relationships, leadership, confidence, and real-world social development.

.Naval: The easiest way to see that AI is not taking jobs but creating opportunities is to go learn AI and then reapply for the job that rejected you. Watch how they pull you in. “My last startup, Airchat, could not have existed without AI because we needed the transcription/translation. And even the current thing I’m working on—it’s not an AI company, but it cannot exist without AI. It is relying on AI. Even at AngelList, we’re significantly adopting AI. Like everywhere you turn, it’s more opportunity, more opportunity, more opportunity. And people like to go on Twitter—or the artist formerly known as Twitter—and basically, they like to exaggerate. Like, ‘Oh my God, we’ve hit AGI.’ ‘Oh my God, I just replaced all my mid-level engineers.’ ‘Oh my God, I’ve stopped hiring.’ To me, that’s moronic. The two valid perspectives are the one-man entrepreneur shows, where there’s one guy or one gal, and they’re scaling up like crazy thanks to AI. Or there are people who are embracing AI and being like, ‘I need to hire, and I need to hire anyone who can even spell ‘AI’—anyone who’s even used AI. Just come on in, come on in.’ Again, I would say the easiest way to see that AI is not taking jobs but creating opportunities is this: go brush up on your AI, learn a little bit, watch a few videos, use the AI, tinker with it, and then go reapply for that job that rejected you. Watch how they pull you in.”

The man who built Nvidia from a Denny's booth into the world's first $5 trillion company just told us exactly why AI will never take our jobs. "AI has no possibility of doing all of what we do. However, depending on the jobs that we do, sometimes it could do 20% of our jobs, a thousand times better." "For some people, it might be able to do 50% of their job, a thousand times better." "Every one of us should apply AI to automate, to become an assistant, to help us with that either 20%, 40% or 50%." "People ask me, Jensen, is AI going to take your job? And I tell them absolutely not. The person who uses AI to automate that 20% or 50% is going to take your job." PS.

🚨 FRANCOIS CHOLLET SAYS THE CURRENT LLM STACK IS THE WRONG PATH TO AGI Interviewer: “When will we accomplish the first definition of AGI?” Chollet confirms we are already on that exact trajectory, pointing out that: "Current technology can fully automate at human level or beyond any domain where you have verifiable rewards, right? And code... code being the first one." He then brings up the problem with LLMs, stating that: "It's possible in principle to build something that looks a lot like AGI on top of the LLM stack... I do believe, however, this would be the wrong thing to do because it would be very inefficient." Looking ahead to what the final architecture will actually require, he explains that: "AI research will have to trend towards not just efficiency, but in fact optimality over time. And for this reason, future AI in a few decades... it's not going to be this harness on top of a reasoning model on top of a base LLM."

Some personal hot takes from AI: engineer Miami follows... 1. Software development is a dead-end profession because anyone can be a software developer now. 2. Anyone can use Cursor or any other tool and generate code. Being a coder and being a software engineer are different. 3. Computers used to be gated; now everyone has the power to make computers malleable. Everyone is a software developer now, but that does not mean they are software engineers 4. If you cannot demonstrate how a coding agent works, you are just a consumer and have imposed an artificial glass ceiling on your career as a software engineer. 5. If you are curious, you will have a job. If you have not been curious in the last two years, you are replaceable. 6. SaaS per-seat economics may become unstable as customers need fewer people to achieve results, prompting founders to think about new unit economics 7. Most companies will take two or three years (or more!) to figure out AI transformation. 8. Some companies are already building AI native teams of five to ten people who can build with the grain of AI 9. There will be an explosion in the number of software developers. Software development is now essentially free, and tokens are cheaper than humans 10. Not enough engineers know what it means to be a product engineer 11. JIRA ticket monkeys are cooked 12. If your company has banned AI, you should quit that company 13. AI is more like a musical instrument than just a tool play with it, make discoveries, build intuition learn where AI is good and where it fails

"I think one of the truths is that the demand for AI intelligence and smarter AI intelligence is going to be insatiable. Some people disagree that once we reach certain thresholds then you don't need more intelligence. To that I ask people, 'Have you ever worked with or managed someone in a work environment and wouldn't press a button to make them smarter?'" George elaborates on his thesis that the demand for smarter AI intelligence will only increase over time even as models get more powerful. George Cameron

Just having more advanced weapons on the battlefield that can react faster than any human could, that's really what AI will be capable of.

We asked the CEO of HuggingFace clem 🤗 what the risks of releasing powerful open source models are. He says restricting AI creates more risk than openness. "Six, seven years ago, at the time it was GPT-2, and there was already a lot of people saying that it was too dangerous to release in open source." "Mythos, when it was announced was crazy dangerous... In a few weeks or a few months, everyone is gonna be using Mythos, and not destroy the world as a result." "For cybersecurity, the biggest risk is that a few players have capabilities that other people don't have... If you make it more open, it's usually easier for defenders to react and make the whole system safer." "The idea of restricting a technology like AI based on risks is like saying, 'Some people can punch other people, so let's tie down everybody's hands.'" "Otherwise you slow down progress, you create massive gaps in terms of controls, in terms of capabilities, and you create actually additional risks."
