I mean some hard evidence is them currently hiring a lot of software engineers for random product-y things. If AGI was close, wouldn’t they go all in on research and training?
I recently interviewed with them, and one of them said they’re hiring a lot of SWEs as they shift to product. Also many of my friends are currently interviewing with them.

Could realistically be either, but it’s probably the comforting-lies thing. Whatever the ground-truth reality may be, the AGI labs are not bearish.

Interesting. Source? Last I heard, they’re not hiring anyone because they expect SWE to be automated soon.
