    I'm still convinced that a human intervention will be required for well-functioning development. I remember back in the 80's we had code generators. Their stuff was utter crap, and totally unreadable. The trick will be in design, as it always has been.

      Any job that involves interacting with objects rather than people is on the chopping block. Maybe not in our lifetimes. The jobs that involve talking to people are also going to get hit with substantial splash damage, as most of the talking jobs involve talking about ways to direct and organize humans.

      Education is extremely important.

                This isn't really going to succeed until they rename it the "hyperintelligence" group.

                Incidentally, I Googled 'AI models'. Holy shit, some of them are really lifelike.

                I was only joking

                    About "50% from China" ... even among those labeled "American," many of them have Chinese-sounding names.
                    A little surprised that there aren't more Indians (of South-Asian descent).

                    Not sure what "L8+ Level" means, maybe a reference to Meta's pay scale. 🤷

                      I was wondering what MTS was… just means Member of Technical Staff at the company, such as OpenAI.

                        Some companies throw around the title "Engineer" rather casually (e.g., "Software Engineer"). Some other companies are more careful with the title, reserving the "Engineer" title only for those who are state-licensed "Professional Engineers" (PE), and use some other title like "Member of the Technical Staff" (MTS) for those who are not state-licensed PE.

                          I’ve never seen the latter except in civil engineering. State licensing was seen as totally unnecessary when I graduated BSEE in 1990.

                          I remember my grandfather (BSME from MIT class of ‘28) implored my mother to make me take the exam. He didn’t realize how irrelevant it was in the EE space.

                          Thank you for your attention to this matter.
