I am. I know we're in a situation now as programmers where there is more AI tooling and more programming jobs - but it's difficult for me to see that last.
You could be the best at using the tools, but I think there could be a point where there is no need to hire because the tools are just that good.
Have you considered what an enormous jump in career that is? Or that all the people who already started building AI products are being obsoleted by OpenAI a year after they started?
What concerns me is that Google and OpenAI are racing us to a point where almost no product is valuable. If I can just have AI generate me a booking.com clone, then what’s booking.com worth ?
There is zero chance this tech is going to be locked up by a few companies, in a year or two open models will have similar capabilities, I have no idea what this world looks like but I think it’s less of a concern for individuals and more of a concern for the global economy in the short term.
Outside of all of this, yeah we’re either going I have to adapt or die.
Well, alone I was able to launch a software company in 2010. From accounting to nginx, everything was automated.
Alone, maybe I will be able to launch a unicorn in 2030. It’s just tools with more leverage. The limit is just the computing resources we have, so we’ll have to use computing resources to calculate how much earth resources each of us can use per year, but that seems a usual growth problem.
That is my point though, I mean it's good you could launch the company, I just don't know what happens to the large companies that employ a lot of people. Seems like they're heading into dangerous territory.
