Original post

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said earlier that currently, 90% of Uber’s engineers use AI, but the top 30% (power users) are seeing unprecedented productivity gains. These power-users of AI are pushing the maximum number of "diffs" to the codebase. He predicts in 5 Years the ROI of a human engineer is surpassed by the ROI of adding more AI agents and GPU power. So at that time he will just hire more AI agents and pay for NVIDIA GPUs instead of human software engineers. --- From 'The Diary Of A CEO' YT Channel (link in comment)
