I am completely the opposite. I could care less about whats in that packet of data. But, I deeply care about how I move it from A to B and if gets there according to specifications.

Spoken like a true CEO. LLMs makes everyone feel like CEOs. Imagine a world where everyone thinks they're CEOs.

This one of the things that frightens me about LLMs. Like MBA programs, they seem to make people dumber over time, while simultaneously making them feel smarter and more confident in their abilities.

Dumber? Different eras call for different skills. Is the US populace dumb because it doesn't know how to dip candles or render soap?

In your opinion, what skills are called for in this current era of LLMs?

Like any new tool, figuring out where, when, and how to use it appropriately.

There’s the smarter/dumber aspect yes. But there’s also the empathy aspect. You start looking at other people and their work and you immediately think “what a fucking waste. AI could’ve done that. What the hell is wrong with that person?”

Not CEO level at all, just one layer up from coding. Just as coding is one layer up from assembly, machin code, binary, logic gates and registers, etc.
