That's most likely what's happening. SNR will constantly decrease as LLM content is so much quicker and cheaper to generate, which makes it more statistically significant, which will make it more "relevant" for future models. A positive feedback basically.

How would Kubernetes work without DNS?
Re:Ask HN: When will managers be replaced by AI? on Wednesday May 21, 2025 @10:57AM (#44052168)
I have argued with managers and it's so boring and frustrating. At least with an AI I can start a conversation from scratch, or even practice with a locally running instance.

The only reason managers exist is because of their power to fire people. They are essentially clerks that "coordinate" work, as if work needs that much coordination.
My bet is that engineers will have to go down, closer to the silicon level. The higher-level stuff will become more and more accessible to the non-tech consumer, so building apps and stuff will no longer require tech-savvy people, everyone will be able to make their own app.

I don't use ChatGPT and don't use cryptocurrency. Those 2 are super inefficient, brute force solutions to problems I don't have.

Funny how the author later worked on NATS [1] which supports exactly-once semantics [2].

What does COVID-19 have to do with anything here? They are an Internet company, one would expect they'd be thriving in this scenario.
