It just seems a little overblown.

But again, I'm a tech guy, not a macro guy.

I think what it's doing is it's rapidly changing coding.

It's changing the job of a software engineer.

You saw that in that post you're talking about.

He was talking about engineering.

And it's true that it is abstracting away much of what was traditionally considered software engineering.

It's doing it incredibly quickly.

People who build these systems, the leaders of these AI labs, they don't really expect the models to generalize to new domains in the way that they have to coding, at least not as quickly as coding has taken off.

There's a special thing to coding.

It's deterministic.

You can know for sure that your code works.

It's math.

And AI and LLMs really excel in that kind of environment.

And sure, you know, we saw the sell-off with legal stocks, for example, when Claude added the legal AI and the contract review and all of that.

So there is a threat of, you know, these AI assistants eating whole sectors as they mature.

But, you know, Sam Allman pointed this out around the Super Bowl.

You know, ChatGPT has more users in Texas than Claude has globally.

These are still not widely used tools.

And so this hype that you see, and I was joking on my X account earlier today, it's like Neo dodging bullets in the Matrix trying not to get sucked into all these, you know, the world is never going to be the same essays on X, right?
