So I haven't read anything by Steve Yegge before, but looking into it now I see he's the head of a company that sells tooling that leverages the very models/agents that he's saying will turn the industry on its head. Not saying he's wrong, just seems like everyone that says AI will do X is person who will profit very much if everyone believes that AI will do X.
It's a bunch of people selling shovels trying to convince everyone else there's a gold rush
Yeah, the problem is if the AI is convincing enough at appearing to do X and the rush to adopt happens very quickly, then there's the potential a lot of damage could get done.
Or if AI does in fact do X, it'll just punch the accelerator on every negative trend in tech.
