Hassabis confirms what many frontier engineers are seeing: AI-augmented engineers can produce 500 to 1,000 times the output of engineers working just six months earlier. The compounding effect comes from iteration speed—using smaller, cheaper models (95% as capable at 1/10 the price) where the lost capability is more than recovered through faster cycles. He argues the immediate future is human-amplified productivity before fully autonomous agents.
