Giving people the "benefit of the doubt" is usually the shortest path to inviting a bunch of nonsense drama into your life. Your instincts are there for a reason.

Somewhat agree but they won't process the payment to Shiloh, just to let everyone know of this speculation.
And that's the optimistic outlook.

The article gives the following explanation for this graph:
I have my doubts about this, and I'm confident that we'll be able to replace at least 90% of all software engineers within the next decade. However, I can't think of any other plausible explanations. Progress in AI definitely looks more promising than it did in 2011, so a new AI winter cannot be the explanation.

On that score, the big AI companies seem to think they are close to AGI. One giveaway is reflected in their own hiring practices. According to Zeki Data, the top 15 US AI companies had been frantically hiring software engineers at a rate of up to 3,000 a month, recruiting a total of 500,000 between 2011 and 2024. But lately their net monthly hiring rate has dropped to zero as these companies anticipate that AI agents can perform many of the same tasks.

This is nuanced, believe me. Connect the dots. Follow the money. Once you see it, you'll shit bricks... more like brocks.

1. Qwen3-8B can fit into an 8GB VRAM GPU. With thinking enabled you can have your own LLM instance with robust tool calling capabilities.

Further context: you can get an R9 580 for like 50 quid.
2. "Huawei has embarked on an unprecedented effort to develop every part of the AI supply chain domestically from wafer fabrication equipment to model building. We have never seen one company attempt to do everything before."
