Yuandong Tian's view that AI could replace his job within five years

A post announcing a new episode of The Information Bottleneck says Yuandong Tian, formerly at Meta and now a co-founder of Recursive Superintelligence, used GPT-5 to write his last paper at Meta. Tian said the experience made him think his job could be replaced in five years, but he also said models still produce mediocre ideas that others have already thought of. The conversation also covered reinforcement learning, Go, Coconut reasoning and calls to restrict self-improving AI.
