alt Hacker NewsIsn't there anywhere to "go" from here? In the last decades, introducing new high level abstractions on top of existing paradigms naturally had everyone move up the ladder and work at the next higher level, why should this be different these days? Do we think AI will reach the top of the abstraction ceiling, so there's no where to go from here?

>introducing new high level abstractions...
Coding via LLM is not similar to using an abstraction. Imagine a car. The controls like steering wheel, the pedals, the gear levers. Those are abstractions.
But using LLMs are like driving using a remote control that has probabilistic behavior. You just loss what it feels to be in a car and you fail to improve as a driver because of the erratic remote control.
That’s the big question for sure
This isn't abstraction though. Outsourcing is a better term. If things continue moving up that latter, you will see that your agent/agency will pass the buck too. But there should always be some last turtle. Maybe that turtle will be the human that thought he was climbing the latter, who knows.
