Everyone âknowsâ AGI will either make us all unemployed or fabulously wealthy. Except, a rather brilliant (and chilling) paper from a Yale economist suggests it's neither. It says the economy will boom, and our wages... won't. A bit awkward. I've been digging into this 2025

+1 for "context engineering" over "prompt engineering". People associate prompts with short task descriptions you'd give an LLM in your day-to-day use. When in every industrial-strength LLM app, context engineering is the delicate art and science of filling the context window
I really like the term âcontext engineeringâ over prompt engineering. It describes the core skill better: the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM.

I think the Deepseek moment is not really the Sputnik moment, but more like the Google moment. If anyone was around in ~2004, you'll know what I mean, but more on that later. I think everyone is over-rotated on this because Deepseek came out of China. Let me try to un-rotate
