increasingly believing much of the communication gap between LLM Enthusiasts and LLM Skeptics on this website boils down to “are you someone who has largely experienced a *reasonable* amount of job security in tech, or are you someone who has not experienced job security and likely aren’t in tech”

I think this is super real, and I want the conversation to move here. The longer we stay in the "is it useful" debate, the longer we defer taking action to protect ourselves in a changed world.

I am pretty concerned about a world where there's only 2-3 companies that can run these models. I have been spending the last few days idly musing about a coop that sets up hardware and runs the open models.

Regarding the employment future around software, it's hard to make predictions right now without knowing where the model capabilities land. I barely know how to think about hiring right now.

I think the cognitive load required to make something that conforms to your firms expectations will still require people regardless of how efficient these models are. Similar to how outsourcing your core product never really works I agree the future is less concentrated tech talent
