<p>I'm an atheist, but if there's a God then I am grateful to her for granting me the wisdom to pay off my house before retiring instead of investing that money in some horseshit.<p>Its a shelter from storms, both physically and metaphorically.</p>

<p>My mental model of the 'new normal' is end users using AI to get their work done.<p>So if I re-worded the OP's description and replaced 'internal tools' with 'internal AIs' then this would at least seem like a more reasonable process to me...<p>> At our startup, engineers don't build features anymore. 
> They build APIs that internal AIs can connect to. 
> Most "features" like running an SQL query, sending a push notification when product X is ordered gets built by ops or product folks using those tools.<p>To me this describes a team of engineers that use AI-capable tools and that are building 'features' for themselves.  
In the way that us dinosaurs used to write build scripts.<p>I'm not saying that my mental model is right or wrong, just that working this way seems reasonable if you buy into my model.</p>

<p>This decision only makes sense it saves more lives than the number of lives that will be lost because of it.<p>It seems to me like it should totally be possible to do the math here and figure it out.  Compute the lives saved and compute as many of the lives that will be lost.  
For instance, statins are a risk to pre-diabetics, and to children, and to etc...<p>There better be a very large difference.
That's the bottom-line argument that I would have attempted to make.</p>

<p>I predict the same thing, that publishing new APIs will be rare, but for a different reason.<p>People will stop publishing any new knowledge or method to keep it from the LLMs and to keep people from exploiting new ideas before they can.</p>

<p>>>Another way to see it is that the set of valid theorems in FOL is uncomputable.<<<p>I've never seen it put that way exactly.  
And I've never learned the gory details of the incompleteness proofs and I've never made the explicit connection between incompleteness and computation before.  
That blew my tiny pea brain :-).<p>Now that I've read the Wikipedia page, I guess I only understood incompleteness as the 2nd theorem.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_...</a><p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I would be concerned that I'd get out of school and not get a job because I don't actually know anything.<p>But I wouldn't blame students if they're not preparing for interviews and jobs.  
Because in this world having a job seems like a recipe for being poor.  
Instead, maybe students are just going to prepare to get ahead, in any way possible.  
And they'll go to a university to network and such.<p>Personally I doubt that's gonna work out well, but I'm old what do I know.</p>
