Devin: World's Best AI Agent (the future is here)

Please Subscribe.

Devin is the world's first autonomous AI agent that can do software engineering... or at least that's what the company wants us to believe.

Once you have an autonomous agent capable of coding and capable of performing high level software engineering, said agent can then be used to improve its own code and capabilities. We have reached the beginning of the self improvement curve

This will help me build applications faster and abandon them half-way, just faster

Looks like AI is advancing even faster than guys like Ray Kurzweil predicted. Society as a whole should have started having discussions about AI ten years ago. Most people have zero idea what is coming and how fast.

They really labeled him as a “Human Software Engineer”, what a crazy time we are in!

AGI is not a single task AI. It's an AI that can do numerous disparate tasks at human or higher skill level. This thing can do multiple tasks, but they're all directly related to coding

Why do I get the feeling that GPT5 might be able to do this 😅. With that said, the impact on jobs (software developers) will be catastrophic. I guess Jensen Huang was right after all

In a month we will have at least one if not more opensource alternatives with even better capabilities. Happy foom everyone, the future is awesome and closer than we think

Your excitment is contagious. I have done my best to follow AI’s growth. The thought that it may now be possible to use an agent like this to earn money is really exciting! Let’s roll.

To my fellow software engineers: so long and thanks for all the fish.

[Pixelskill]

While you may not 'need experience', I think those with programming skills and knowledge will get the best out of these opportunities as they can get more from the AI due to understanding how it operates.

One step closer to fully automated game development :)

I think your estimate of 20min - 1 hour of work was very generous. That would realistically be a 1-2 day task for most software engineers considering the number of distractions / meetings they have too

[AlephCasara]

this is HARDLY agi, it is impressive, but far from agi, scary, but not yet agi.

[jojosaves]

Next you'll see an AI instrument, instructing multiple single task AI agents in varying fields, to work together.

AGI will be here in a week.

People will believe anything...
What's more likely, that a computer program meant to predict text accidentally becomes sentient, or a human being fooled into thinking so because he doesn't understand text prediction?

"maybe I am dreaming and will just wake up in a moment.." :D was right there with you with the mind getting blown!!! I need this agent asap. TY for this super inspiring rundown..

[WesRoth]

wow! you weren't kidding.

keep up the great work!!!

[doingtime]

Ok let's not get ahead of ourselves, there are some reddit threads claiming it is fake. We'll see soon what's going on.

[firesoul]

I find it funny that Yes they ARE hiring still.

we already have AGI. Actually, SORA is more amazing than this. My theory is that Sora is not running on GPT4, but actually running on a secret AGI within OpenAI. I say this because you have to ask yourself, "what does SORA need to understand in order to generate those images?" Sora has to have a beyond human level real world understanding of objects and their relationships to each other, their look, their context and their meaning. Devin is quite amazing, but this understanding for coding is purely in the logical domain. But for me, I would define AGI using a year 2000 analysis. If you would demo a current AI to an intelligent person living in the year 2000, would they say it's AGI? I generally think most people in the year 2000 would say GPT4, SORA, Devin are AGIs.
