Has the prospect of AGI seeming close influenced any of your life/career decisions so far?

i’m not sure we’re as close as the media keeps reporting. Seems we’re great at refining the llms in silos but it seems we’ve still got some ground to cover before we crack AGI tho the past couple of years completely altered how we certainly work pre-covid from image creating to writing, so for me it’s been more of an embrace than shift wbu?

I think AI being proficient at building software is a key factor for disrupting the world as we know it, and that’s more along the lines of what I’m thinking about Personally haven’t made any material decisions based on the assumption that the world will be fundamentally different soon yet, but I have noticed myself subconsciously factoring it into my longer term planning a bit recently

AI building software is really just a euphemism for a higher-level programming language to me (at least with the current LLM approach). This will certainly increase programmer productivity and increase access to building apps...but is that in itself really something that would restructure society?

Not necessarily but it’s hard to say what the impact will be if the ability to build software is commoditised at a scale magnitudes greater than what we have today

not solely… but as llms have provided much more depth to menial tasks from writing to image gen, there def seems to be a shift in job creation or replacement due to these tools integrating into most of the corporate work tools. absolutely see a seismic shift in the corp work force no different that we saw w/ labor changes in the assembly line and robots
