The CEO of the company is not going to be directing the LLM

At minimum you at least need CEO -> product person -> LLM

There can any number of agents/loops after that but someone has to translate the requirements to the LLM and monitor/verify the results.

What I'm saying is in the extreme case the SE evolves to become the product person.

If you want to argue for fully autonomous companies then thats drifting into sci-fi

> The CEO of the company is not going to be directing the LLM Why not? Many CEOs are prompting LLMs and coding agents directly. What happens when the CEO -> LLM interaction is more efficient than CEO -> product person -> LLM?

Why couldn't a software company be completely automated with sufficiently powerful LLM-run agents? What fundamentally is the barrier, if the models are intelligent enough?

Because then you're just describing AGI not LLMs, which in the short term is obviously not happening

Long term maybe but its not a very interesting conversation to talk about things that far out.

[atleastoptimal]

what are your definitions of “long term” and “short term” with respect to number of years

The barrier is who gets legally liable if things go wrong. An llm cannot go to prison.
