I knew this was going to be the first reply.

The answer is because you still need at least one human to develop and test any tool, integration, feature.

Why? Use agent bruh. Even the bun rewrite post said that agents do writing testing everything!!!

Unless AI overlords lied and we do need humans

They had a human oversee the bun rewrite, didn't they?

that's the hypocrisy I was pointing out. Lol

For their work they extensively test using humans with deep expertise

But while marketing they say just vibe code bruh

And here they can't even rewrite CC in rust? Why not! Use 1000000 agents!! Write it in platform specific binary! SAAS is dead, that's what he claimed. So what's stopping him from writing the harness in Rust or C than ReactJS?

What hypocrisy? Anthropic never said you don't need a human anymore.

I think we are not living in the same universe if you claim this. And I can't speak with someone who doesn't live in the same universe

Show me where Anthropic claims you don't need any humans anymore to build working, production ready software.

> The "General Labor Substitute": He rejects the idea that his employment forecasts are "doom marketing". Instead, he asserts that AI will act as a general substitute for human labor, noting that most software engineering could be entirely automated within 1 to 2 years

When someone says all Software engg could be automated within 1yr they don't mean 'oh use our agents and keep human in loop'

They mean 'AI superior than humans fire all humans and all SWEs will be jobless'

I am not going to reply to you going forwards as I can't speak with someone who lives in a different universe

Have you watched the video where that was said, as opposed to just reading interpretations of it from people with their own assumptions?

Here's a transcript: https://gist.github.com/simonw/0050b4ce40439b97598d4ffdb273d...

		I summarised the transcript using LLM just like our AI overlords intended.

News flash: most of software engineering is already automated. When was the last time you wrote code?

They did not claim there is no human involved.
