AI is a threat to everyone. People who claim that AI will never be able to do X have consistently been proven wrong.

The only people who are safe are those whose jobs depend in some way on their humanity. e.g. yoga teachers, bouncers, etc

Nobody knows.

It's not a zero sum game. You can have AI "senior engineers" working under humans building bigger things than we've been able to.

We also don't know where the capabilities of current AIs will plateau. The benchmarks aren't really telling the entire story. From my perspective of using the models there are certain axis where they're not making a lot of progress, like being able to have large accurate context on the scale that humans can. There are other dimensions where there is still a large gap between human capabilities and LLMs. It's true that relative to other areas (lessay chess) LLMs are more generalized but they are still not fully generalized (back to the chess example, LLMs are not good at chess).

This was sort of what I wanted to say, but I guess I should have worded it differently. I certainly didn't mean to say that I thought AI would stop improving. If anything I'm surprised at how much we have to fight the AI models to do what NASA has been doing for 60(?) years.
