Right now AI is lifting up the floor, so if you don't know programming, mandarin or any other topic it will sure do better than you. (Vibe coding goes here)

Same for tasks you know how to do but AI does them faster, there is also value there. (Claude Code used by a senior goes here)

The interesting thing is when AI is lifting up the ceiling everywhere, but maybe then is when we are almost on AGI territory.

I feel like that's the only way this insanely high bet on AI could possibly pay off - if AGI/"ceiling lifting" is achieved then maybe all this could be the trillion+ bet they expect. If it doesn't really progress much beyond where it is now, they're in trouble.

We already have a lifted ceiling.

We have several synthetic datasets and automated evaluation options for such things that were close to impossible to do before LLMs.
