You are responding to some voices in your head, not to the context of the conversation.
You're also presuming too much about what I'm thinking and being dead wrong about that.

I am responding to what you wrote:
> We are perpetually just months away from software jobs being obsolete.
only hype artists are saying this. and you're using it as a way to negate the argument of more skeptical people.
Functional illiteracy and lack of any capacity to hold any context longer than two sentences has long been a plague on HN. Now that we've outsourced our entire thinking process to "@grok is this true", it has now claimed almost the entirety of human race.
soulofmischief: complains that AI-skeptics would say the Wright brothers were idiots because they didn't imediately implement a supersonic jet
ares623: we were promised supersonic jets today or very soon (translation: AI hype and scam artists have already promised a lot now)
eru: The passive voice is doing a lot of work in your sentence. (Translation: he questions the validity of ares623's statement)
me: Here are just three examples of hype and scam promising the equivalent of super jet today, with some companies already being burned by these promises.
soulofmischief: some incoherent rambling
Apply your own "functional literacy". I made a clarification that those outside of an industry have to separate the opinions of professionals and hype artists.
The irony of your comment would be salient, if it didn't feel like I was speaking with a child. This conversation is over, there's no reason to continue speaking with you as long you maintain this obnoxious attitude coupled with bad reading comprehension.

Your posts here remind me of Trumpists citing random Twitter leftists as Democratic party leaders.
Lol. "random leftists"
First two come directly from OpenAI, Anthropic and others
Last one is literally made rounds even on HN e.g. Klarna bringing back their support staff after they tried to replace them with AI.
Last one is irrelevant. Of course some companies are miscalculating.
OpenAI never claimed they had achieved AGI internally. Sam was very obviously joking, and despite the joke being so obvious he even clarified hours later.
>In a post to the Reddit forum r/singularity, Mr Altman wrote “AGI has been achieved internally”, referring to artificial general intelligence – AI systems that match or exceed human intelligence.
>Mr Altman then edited his original post to add: “Obviously this is just memeing, y’all have no chill, when AGI is achieved it will not be announced with a Reddit comment.”
Dario has not said "we are months away from software jobs being obsolete". He said:
>"I think we will be there in three to six months, where AI is writing 90% of the code. And then, in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code"
He's maybe off by some months, but not at all a bad prediction.
Arguing with AI skeptics reminds me of debating other very zealous ideologues. It's such a strange thing to me.
Like, just use the stuff. It's right there. It's mostly the people using the stuff vs. the people who refuse to use it because they feel it'll make them ideologically impure, or they used it once two years ago when it was way worse and haven't touched it since.
