One thing I hope we'll see is that the people with the big LLM servers try to be platforms as opposed to one-stop shops [1]. With AI getting better and better at executing, I think best case we'll see an era where good novel ideas are the currency of the realm[2]. That would be great - coming up with novel ideas and thinking deeply about what we should be pursuing is about the best alignment with human nature I can imagine. But it can only happen if access to the LLMs themselves is cheap and hacker-friendly.

[1] there's good arguments to evolve a business model in that direction, e.g. Apple beating blackberry not through superior hardware but a superior app store.

[2] I'd be remiss not to plug my own recent oevre here, https://eucyclos.wixsite.com/eucyclos/contact-8-1 inspired by the difficulty of conveying positive emotions over screens. Advice from people who have built this kind of thing successfully is of course welcome.
