Right now, I’ll be very honest: it feels like a race to the bottom, except for the hardcore engineers working on genuinely difficult problems.
Only a small number of people will get the chance to work at that level as the field changes. I think there will be a radical shift from here.
Altman and Dario know this well. That is probably why the tone has changed from “engineering will disappear” to “engineering will change.” But I think we have already reached the inflection point where a large part of the work is getting automated.
Craftsmanship has already started moving somewhere else. Where exactly it moves depends on the kind of work, and I do not think everyone will figure out what the new end goal is.
