I use LLM-type AI every day as a software developer. It's incredibly helpful in many contexts, but you have to understand what it's designed to do and what its limitations are.
I went back and forth with Claude and ChatGPT today about its logic being incorrect and it telling me "You're right," then outputting the same/similar erroneous code it output before, until I needed to just slow down and fix some fundamental issues with its output myself. It’s certainly a force multiplier, but not at any kind of scale without guidance.
I'm not convinced AI, in its current incarnation, can be used to write code at a reasonable scale without human intervention. Though I hope we get there so I can retire.
So you can become homeless you mean :p
Bro's legit out here thinking there's some sort of meaningful wealth redistribution instead of winner takes all for the few, abject poverty for the rest.
He's a programmer, they're not really known for their awareness outside of pretty specific problem solving.
I'm a programmer. Programmers are the way the are because of biases inherent to pre-existing wealth and historically in-demand skills / high pay. It's only a matter of time till they learn the boot of capitalism will crush them the same as any other worker.
It was mostly a joke but I don't disagree with your assessment.
