Yeah, and I keep wondering why.

They need top talent to operate the current generation of models, that's at the mediocre-talent level, in order to teach the next generation how to operate at their level, and eventually above. After which, they won't be needed anymore.

Because LLMs are a tool.

They are best placed to not fall for their own marketing claim that their tool can replace engineers.

Because either:

1) They are knowingly lying about AI being at human replacement level rather than a useful developer tool

AND/OR

2) They think they are special, and that their software developers ("AI researchers") are doing harder stuff than those most other companies
