Mark Zuckerberg said today’s founders and entrepreneurs should take advantage of the technology he couldn’t when he was building Facebook two decades ago.
“If you started everything you start 20 years ago, you should have accumulated all these different skills within your business, and now there are just excellent platforms to do so,” said Meta PDG at the Stripe Sessions conference this week.
Zuckerberg says that the use of technologies like AI can help the founders today “focus on the main idea” of a business.
“I think it will just lead to much better quality stuff that is created worldwide because now you can just have them, like, very small talented teams who are, like, passionate about an idea,” said Zuckerberg.
Replacement of “intermediate level engineer”
Zuckerberg talked about the effect of AI on much larger companies, including Meta, on the Podcast Joe Rogan Experience in January.
“Probably in 2025, we, in Meta, as well as the other companies that work mainly on this subject, let’s have an AI which can actually be a kind of intermediate level engineer that you have in your business which can write code,” he said.
Of course, LLMs are known to have disturbing hallucinations at certain times, and companies could see negative impact by avoiding their ranks of intermediate level engineers.
“Ease of use is a double -edged sword,” said Harry Law, an AI researcher at the University of Cambridge. “Beginners can make rapid progress, but that could prevent them from learning architecture or system performance.”
The use of AI too largely in coding could also make scaling or debugging difficult, he warned.
“Security vulnerabilities can also pass without examining the appropriate code,” he said.
However, companies find means to charge in advance with AI
The CEO of Y Combinator, Garry Tan, said in a CNBC interview in March that the “ambient coding” will help startups remain thinner by allowing small teams of engineers to produce a work that would otherwise take a team of 50 to 100 developers.
“I mean, the wild thing is that people reach a million dollars at $ 10 million per year with less than 10 people, and that has never happened before at an early stage,” he said.
“You can simply talk to the big language models and they will code whole applications,” continued Tan. “You don’t have to hire someone to do it.”
Vibe Coding, the new hot fashion in the valley, was invented by the co -founder of Openai Andrej Karpathy in a post on X in February.
“There is a new type of coding that I call” Vibe Coding “, where you are fully given up in vibrations, kiss the exponentials and forget that the code even exists,” wrote Karpathy in his article. “I build a project or a Webapp, but it’s not really coding – I just see things, I say, and it works and it works.
The CEO of Shopify, Tobi Lütke, recently told managers to ask to hire someone new, they must prove that AI could not do the work better alone.
In March, the co -founder and anthropogenic CEO Dario Amodei said that AI could “essentially write the whole code” in 12 months.
The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, said in the call of results of the third quarter of the company in October that more than 25% of the new code created in the company is generated by the AI, then verified by the employees.
Pichai said the use of AI for code has increased the company’s “productivity and efficiency”.
“It helps our engineers to do more and move faster,” said Pichai.
OPENAI CEO Sam Altman said in early February that he expected him to expect that software engineering seems “very different” at the end of 2025.
The use of AI in large technological companies to help, accelerate or directly the work of their employees is reprimanded with the efficiency of the industry on efficiency in recent years.
Zuckerberg has proclaimed 2023 a “year of efficiency” for the company, which has experienced several mass layout cycles in recent years. Several of his peers have also reduced thousands of jobs while they focus on the flattening of their organizational structures and the abolition of their “lower interpreters”.
