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.

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.
