Maybe what you’ll see is a bigger distance between modes of the salary distribution for software engineers.

Top end salaries for language model fluent high performers… and the rest.

I know I’m simplifying and that there are many other factors at play in salaries, but my point is that language models are changing the cost structure of knowledge work. That is also the point of TFA.

My advice: critically assess the cost structure of your job, and which parts neural networks will commodify. Then reposition yourself accordingly.

and by the time you've spent enough time training such that you may be useful to an employer: the model has improved and can do that too

Can you please elaborate on this? Like which part of the job is CRUD?
