At the top of the chute, people tell themselves they're going to use these tools as a kind of fancy autocomplete. As they descend, they say they'll spin up some agents to explore ideas, but they'll write the code themselves. Next their agents are generating the code for them, but don't worry, but they'll review all the output. Soon they're plummeting downward and well, they don't actually review the code being spat out much anymore, but they trust the agents, heck maybe the agents are actually better coders than they are they say. And where does it go from there? From "I don't even code anymore" to "I don't even prompt anymore"?

Lattner is a capitalist. He calls for intensification of labour and in general analyzes things from a tech executive perspective. But his knowledge of compilers and the fact that he seems to have read Claude’s implementation reveal interesting limitations on LLMs creativity.
Lemmer-Webber’s main argument is that we give more and more freedom to agents and so we are gradually losing understanding over our code, which is very dangerous.
