Thank you for your perspective!

I think it's obvious that demand is overwhelming supply right now. I agree that we don't know how much of the demand is due to perception, perverse incentives, or poor management, and how much of the demand is 'real'. I personally believe that the demand is mostly real and will continue to go up, but I don't have a crystal ball.

I also acknowledge that the productivity gains are highly dependent on your specific company's implementation and the work that you're doing. I think the role of a technical IC (which I am as well) is going to be managing fleets of agents, and many people who aren't suited to that type of work will leave the industry (and many people who are will join).

I generally agree with you on the points about American politics, I don't think the way they are cracking down on immigration is very wise.

As for correctness - it's a nontrivial problem to deploy AI in prod that works and doesn't blow up over millions of runs+. Hence why the initial value has accrued to the intelligence layer (labs) but the bulk of the remaining value will accrue to the applied layer in my opinion.

So the people who "aren't suited" just get thrown out with the trash. I'm sure that will help with public perception of AI.

I will buy your entire supply of money for $0.50 per dollar.

Our demand for compute and software is infinite, but our price sensitivity is also high.
