I fail to understand, in its current state, the mass hysteria around this revolution. Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but I constantly need to review and manage my agents, are we really headed to a reality where engineering mindsets are no longer needed?

Even if they did exactly what you wanted, you need to want something. To decide what you want, the thinking shifts from how and when to what and why.

I think it’s just part of the zeitgeist. Like, I’m actually pretty AI-forward, but my post is getting downvoted. Not that I care, it’s just an interesting sign of the times.

By using the models you're training them to be better at these tasks, it's where a good number of improvements have already come from. Frontier labs just feed it back in.

Can you not look back a year or even 6 months to see the progress that has been made? The pace of change is incredible.

How does that not lead you to same conclusion that everyone else is having? That this is only going to improve.

It's so shortsighted to make an assessment only on what exists today.

“If these trends continue… ayyyy!”

It's equally fallacious to assume that the curve continues. It may well be a sigmoid-like progress curve.

"It can happen or it won't--so the odds are 50/50!"

Yeah, you're right. Best to keep your head in the sand and assume best case scenario.
