Amthropic CEO claims we are 1yr away where AI can do everything SWEs

That's the same timeline as commercially viable fusion power plants, or fission power plants in a shipping container, or off-the-shelf self-driving cars that work in non-ideal conditions without human intervention, or batteries that charge in minutes, or work well in cold weather, or don't weigh a literal ton to get a half-usable towing range, etc…

Titlegore aside, we've been 6-12 months away from automating SWEs since GPT3.0 came out.

Logically, that means that Anthropic will fire all their SWE’s one year from now.

That's what he said. AI is building AI so that's where they are headed.

Most of my devs don't write code, they review it.

I would wager $1m that Anthropic will still have SWEs doing engineering work 3 years from now, if the company is still around.

I expected Anthropic to be clever enough to position themselves differently from OpenAI. This sounds like a failing marketing message; their critical long-term customers are people, not CEOs.

Ummm... no time line on when AI's excpected to outsource to less expensive SWEs.
