alt Hacker NewsI've posted numbers that indicate that productivity is becoming decoupled from value delivery. If you follow the link in my comment it reviews a pretty robust study of 4000 teams over 2 years. There is no product throughput increase.

Interesting data, thanks.
Yep.
Code acceleration is great, but.... something precedes that. Vision and strategy re. expansion of offerings and businesses. Once a firm reaches maturity in what it offers and is only touching the edges - this code acceleration is literally useless when you factor in all of the trade-offs.
This is a good thing - it means fat and slow incumbents are sitting ducks to be out-witted by creative and imaginative founders, which is healthy for a well-functioning economy.
Now the economics of existing frontier models are not sustainable - its looking like a mix of the airline (supersonic vs subsonic) and EV industry with China in the background providing decent offerings at much lower prices.
