Comment on Ask HN: What are your optimistic takes on the SWE job market post AI?parent

GPT-4 does have 35,000 token limit. I'm sure GPT-5 will probably have an order of magnitude bigger context window. I'm sure by the seventh or eighth model there will be enough context to recreate Twitter's entire codebase or something. Although perhaps the context window for LLM's really is fundamental and a completely different architecture is required. That's alright, I think Anthropic might make some progress with their "constitutional" AI then. And if that fails, Deep Mind has it's own multi modal agent which is probably running a unique architecture as well.

That sounds like the end of basically all clerical/office work.

Not exactly. People will still need to proof read important emails and documents. They'll just be able to do more with less time.
