alt Hacker NewsThere are many tens (hundreds?) of billions of dollars being poured into the smartest minds in the world to push this thing forward
I'm not so confident that it'll only be code monkeys for too long

Dunning–Kruger is everywhere in the AI grift. People who don't know a field trying to deploy some AI bot that solves the easy 10% of the problem so it looks good on the surface and assumes that just throwing money (which mostly just buys hardware) will solve it.
They aren't "the smartest minds in the world". They are slick salesmen.

Until they can magically increase context length to such a size that can conveniently fit the whole codebase, we're safe.
It seems like the billions so far mostly go to talk of LLMs replacing every office worker, rather than any action to that effect. LLMs still have major (and dangerous) limitations that make this unlikely.
