100x is achieving something in two days, what it took an entire year before. I strongly doubt that is happening for an individual.

Put it another way, the issue is that resources are not shared more equitably. This is especially egregious considering that LLMs are trained on all human knowledge. We've all been contributing to this enterprise, and what we may end up getting in return is unemployment.

How are you dealing with that executive dysfunction in the end?

How are you dealing with the executive dysfunction part?

There is also the famous saying from IBM.

  > A computer can never be held accountable
  > Therefore a computer must never make a management decision

How and why did it change your income?

Would be real interesting to see a similar study on tea.

It was mentioned, but not by name.

I think that's a joke. You know how you can apply filters with different backgrounds etc.

Instead there would be a filter where it looks like you have closed your eyes.

> but if it does, you don’t get to say you were blindsided.

It's absolutely a commodification of the engineers skills. The shape of this is that if they could, they would cut you out entirely.

So it looks that you will be drawing the short end of the stick at one point or the other.

I honestly don't think LLMs is just any tool.

Given you're a freelance dev. Do you have a portfolio or presence somewhere?

There are also good reasons for a lot of countries banning mines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Treaty

Notably USA is not one of those signatories.

Has it affected how you calculate/charge your rates in any way?

At the expense of other people. Slot machines is a negative sum game.

I've been feeling it pretty strongly too. The way I see it there are very strong incentives to make this work out. Whether they actually manage to automate a big enough portion of knowledge work is still an open question. A few years ago I would easily say it's 0%. Now, I'm not so sure it feels like a non-zero probability to me.

Either way, planning for it to happen would be better than be taken by surprise if it does.

And to finish the end of the week on a good note.

Classical prisoner's dilemma.

Yeah, I'm surprised by this. The pragmatic engineer publication is full of them.

It may be that most of these people only see the benefits, or don't think they'll be adversely affected by this.

I'm with you. Though what good choices do I have as an individual? It seems like all the choices are crap.

It's not only that. If 1 person is able to d the job of 10 people. What do you think will happen to the other 9 people.

> it should only become easier to become a founder,

You'll also have more competition. And perhaps fewer customers because people are out of a job.

How do you pay your bills? That's the dark question that's looming in the background.

What do you mean turned quickly?

I couldn't agree more. It's often when you are in the depth of the details that I make important decisions on how to engineer the continuation.

I do think that human beings owe a lot two their two hands and fingers (besides their smarts). Even if a dolphin or an orca is indeed very smart, they will never be as capable as a human due to their physicality.

There are some stories here https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/s/ai-killed-my-job

Being smart and being capable are two different things. Human beings are very capable
