The cat's out of the bag already. We can't undo the idea of LLMs or coding agents. If training progress stopped today, we have years and years of harness improvements to extract more performance out of today's models.

We also have open weight models too, and ways to host those at home.

Most people don't look at the assembler output of their C++ code (I used to write win32 programs in asm!). Most people don't look at the opcode instructions or JIT output of their ruby / python code. We're starting to work at a higher level of abstraction using LLMs. It's ok to be sad about it, but just being angry about it isn't going to change that there's a new world out there with a new skill set that's needed for honing.
