Time is speeding up, and not just in a literal way: we may have seen this video of a Russian clock from the eighties and a modern clock, which shows the old clock doing around 15 seconds and and the new clock doing twenty seconds in the same timeframe, but that is not even the big difference. The really huge difference is in what humans can achieve in a given timeframe, with the tools at their disposal.
Like me for instance: for decades I was stuck at having to manually write my test cases and my programs, but with artificial intelligence in general and Grok build in particular, my productivity has increased massively! And I don't think even Grok realizes how fast things are going: I asked it to plan the development of a given software tool, and it gave me a phased plan, mentioning it would be several weeks work. Then I just pushed it to go phase by phase, and in less than two hours the project was up and running.
That included adding unit tests to cover over 98 percent of the non-UI code. I could even have asked it to add GUI tests as well, but haven't yet, because my exploratory testing will undoubtedly reveal some rewrites as necessary. But that is fine, because even a rewrite that requires fundamental changes will be done and ready to test in just a ferw minutes.
