Alex Heath@alexeheathFactory CEO on why AGI is already here @matanSF is the co-founder and CEO of @FactoryAI, a $5 billion AI coding startup building Droid agents to automate the engineering process. He tells me how AI is changing the job of a software engineer and why Factory is betting on a future with many competing models. We get into how it balances model performance with token costs and why he thinks companies should avoid depending on one AI provider. We also discuss why he thinks AGI is already here, how Factory hires its own engineers, his view of the open-versus-closed AI debate, competition with companies like Cognition, and when companies should outsource to AI rather than build in-house.

Matan Grinberg@matanSFAs a former theoretical physicist I can attest: You will not notice anything as you cross the event horizon. Your watch keep ticking, everything around you looks normal. For AGI, we have already crossed the event horizon. So far so good, but lots of work left to be done.11d
