The bottleneck always moves somewhere else.
Never forget that and you won't get taken in by huckster stories about the jobs apocalypse.
The problems in the Universe are infinite.
We solve one problem faster and a new bottleneck appears. Abstract one level, the next level is more complex.
Complexity breeds more complexity and new and varied jobs and challenges to solve.
And no AI will not just be able to do it all.
Some problems AI will solve. Some will be people. Some will be a hybrid of people and AI working together. True intelligence is collaborative.
The stack is infinite.
Awareness is understanding.
Here’s a key line in this mythos update. This is precisely an example of why engineers don’t go away, ever.
We’ve made it far easier to create and find security issues, which means the new bottleneck is our ability to actually review, respond to, and fix the issues.
Far from AI magically solving all of this, there still is major triage work and human judgment required to do the follow on work to actually protect systems. As a result, we’re about to enter a security engineer boom.
Jevons paradox all over again.
