I am a software developer and AI engineer. 2-3X productivity improvement is conservative!

I’m really not trying to exaggerate, but I could easily see 10-100X improvement in productivity for senior engineers that were previously generalists that could work up and down technology stacks. I have some of my friends that were already unreasonably productive people who could build entire full-stack software applications and startup businesses in several months (two extremely hard things to do). Now they can do the same thing in several days and even auto-generate pitch decks to go out and secure funding for their software products.

It’s insane!

I especially appreciated pointing out how devoid of critical thinking the public-at-large can be with regard to technological progress and innovation. We're just not wired for rapid progress.
