"They are stuck in 2020 office jobs and weekend open source tech, programming-wise."

You say that like it's nothing special! Honestly I'm still in awe at the ability of modern LLMs to do any kind of programming. It's weird how something that would have been science fiction 5 years ago is now normalised.

All true, but keep in mind the biggest boosters of LLMs have been explicitly selling it as a replacement for human intellectual labor--"don't learn to code anymore", "we need UBI", "muh agents" and the like.
