Will AI Agents Take Jobs from Programmers? 

So less low level work, more high level work. However I believe we will figure out and use AI for planning soon enough. What remains then? Wishes? If so the damand is unlimited 😄 PS Going forward good/accurate intuition will be an increasingly valuable "skill"

I appreciate the feedback and for watching the entire episode! I think specifically transformer llms are pretty similar to the calculator as they don’t have any self learning capabilities and require long training loops to update and incorporate new information. A faster self-reinforcing learning method isn’t really available even today in how you mean I do agree that when we do get to true self-directed reinforcement learning where AI learn from interactions and can reflect, that will be a different shift. Still, technology generally creates jobs as human “computers” lost their jobs to calculators. There was job loss there and the technology did result in exponential ability to calculate accurately which is a pretty big jump. Companies laying off employees now, if for that reason, are short sighted. I believe there will be a rebound as a lot of these companies look to reinvest in what more they can do and not just “floating” with the status quo of business as usual

@@StableDiscussion Thanks for the thorough reply! Yeah, agreed. I just think adding reinforcement learning may be right around the corner. But we will see! Personally I'm excited to trade my normal software job for one where I can leverage AI to get a lot more done. Hopefully, like you say, it doesn't hurt the chances of people trying to get into the field. The world is a complicated place, and AI is far from being able to do everything we do, but it has taken a big step in the past year.
