I am still reading through this and will probably try to comprehend it a bit more. Some of it really seems to follow Arditi et al. (2024) (https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.11717). Projecting out a direction can only remove behaviour and not add capability so the jump mostly comes from unblocking the looping.

Written, but was it reviewed? Do you need to edit code written by LLM?

I agree that most of the things are written by AI but writting code was never the bottleneck in big tech.

I would not agree on that point. It really depends on company's structure. I mean it also depends with people that makes the team. I would say there are a lot of unknowns but I would certainly not generalize.

How I find your argument is that one distinguished engineer from US could do the same with the use of AI.

I worked with both and I know great and bad engineers from both sides. Only thing is that US has a bigger pool of great engineers.

I am not sure this feels right. I agree that the US currently has leading minds in terms of tech, but I am not sure it is too big of difference with the EU knowledge workers. EU is still a lot cheaper then US in terms of wages you would need to pay.
