Nice talk, an interesting positive way in which AI might be useful?

This conference looked interesting but was extremely small and sold out quickly, I hope videos of all the talks will be posted at some point.

i like the general thrust of this presentation but color me skeptical:

We first need language model agents that are designed to act as central orchestrators for home-cooked software projects.

These agents can guide barefoot developers through the process of writing technical specifications and help them work out what kinds of tools they might need for a piece of software.

this is a core premise of engineering as a subject-matter-agnostic discipline, and people seem eager to suggest that “agentic frameworks” are going to extend language models with these sorts of capabilities.
