Great point on data. Part of the disconnect is that managers perceive soft value. In my individual experience - managers thrive on soft power

More to the point, they only care about things that make themselves look good. They want you to work slower so they can have an excuse to hire more people. The more people you manage, the more power you have.

Recorded months before OpenAI was founded, the conversation treats intelligence as math plus incentives rather than something mystical

Great, maybe these people can add their insight to Wikipedia, since clearly no one thought of AI that way before 2015.

In fact, if we're going to be reductionist, we could say that incentives are also just math so put me on Wikipedia too, since no one has ever thought of that either!

btw, since you've read so much, you should consider writing a book yourself. You have a deep reading list that would power your aesthetic sense. The first attempt might not be great, but your writing on Slashdot has improved so much that sooner or later you would write something great.

I tend to agree, but they do have algorithmic infrastructure with a scalable graph over source code at scale.

I am fully willing to encourage people to spend their own money to do this kind of thing. In the worst case, they will help the world better understand the bounds of the technology. It's like a Red Bull challenge for programmers: "How good will the Chatbot be if we spend $100 billion on it?" (Pretty great, actually, but maybe the money would be better spent elsewhere, like on inventing new AI technology)

Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale

He put some scale in his scale.

AI agents, guided by algorithms

Computers are guided by algorithms, amazing.

Even if you use AI, bullshit is still bullshit. That doesn't change.

If a software engineer can suprivise 1 million lines of code being written a month, then there is no job for software engineers anymore. A single person can't verify that much code in a month, so writing code would no longer be an important skill.

The difficulty here isn't the Rust (since literally anything can be rewritten in Rust with more or less difficulty); the difficulty here is the Ai.
