Okay, let's give software engineers a break for a bit and focus on obsoleting other high-linguistic context occupations.

And to do that you’ll need development so until we’re all out of a job they’ll keep pushing. Once automating is automated it’s done.

Any day now... Just a bit more space in the context window, trust me bro.

We had decades of "just more and faster bits" in computing and that produced a lot of new capabilities.

Like diplomacy? heh

Some of these models could be particularly small, depending on the market they'd target...

I know you didn't mean this but have you ever seen Meta's model which plays (the game) Diplomacy? really cool

software and agentic workflows will obsolete those things

RL environments building on top of each other will get these models there

needs people doing software development lifecycles to figure it out and implement
