Today, I read an article that really hit me. Four major models were released in just three days, and I’m increasingly feeling that the era of traditional IT professionals is truly coming to an end. It’s like when machines first entered textile factories—many workers didn’t realize their time was about to pass. At the launch of its new generation model, OpenAI said one sentence: 'Welcome to the era of AGI.' A year ago, if you’d mentioned AGI to me, I’d still be wondering how it’s different from AI. Four years ago, if you’d mentioned AI, I’d probably still be thinking about how it differs from Baidu Search. But today, AI’s capabilities have grown so powerful that, for the first time, I genuinely believe we’re standing at the doorstep of the AGI era. GPT-6 Astra scored 99.99% on ARC-AGI-3, while humans only managed 48%. Fable 5.1 doubled the performance of its predecessor on scientific research tasks. AI can now assist with NASA’s Venus terrain reconstruction, independently write GPU models needed for bioinformatics, and improve inference performance by 2.5x. The scariest part? It’s starting to complete closed loops on its own. In the past, a programmer would start with 'Hello World,' learn syntax, frameworks, debugging, and build skills line by line over four years of university. Now, AI can take a single requirement, break it down into tasks, write the code, run it, find errors, fix them, and iterate until the task is fully completed. So lately, I’ve been pondering one question: as knowledge itself becomes increasingly cheap, how much longer can the traditional path of 'learning knowledge → mastering skills → finding a job' hold up? Being able to write code is becoming less rare; knowing what to write is what’s scarce. Having knowledge is becoming less rare; asking the right questions, judging directions, defining goals, and organizing resources is what’s scarce. In the past, the gap between people largely came down to who had more knowledge and skills. In the AGI era, it’s shifting to who can better harness an intelligent system that’s far smarter than themselves. Just like the Industrial Revolution didn’t eliminate humanity, but it completely reshuffled the value hierarchy of human labor.
