No doubt. The last people to be replaced are going to be software devs (because when you can write a computer program with an AI you can make the AI write the AI and you have general AI), cleaning ladies and probably police investigators.
- thavalai 10y ago"But of your job is to look at data and make descisions based on that data, you're gonna be the first to go." "The last people to be replaced are going to be software devs" If your job is to write code so people can look at data and make decisions based on that data, you're gonna be the second to go.

- tomjen3 10y agoNah a 3D environment with the right force feedback input would be both much more convenient, much cheaper and much more private.
- onion2k 10y agobecause when you can write a computer program with an AI you can make the AI write the AI and you have general AI There doesn't need to be a single AI to create the entire app. An AI to model data structure, an AI to build an interface, an AI to consume external APIs, etc. We already mostly bolt libraries together to make software; it doesn't take a huge leap for those libraries to be generated by machine learning. Building anything but the most complex apps will be trivial in 10 or 20 years time.
- lsaferite 10y agoI have a feeling someone said the same thing 10 or 20 years ago.
- eru 10y agoWe are just ratcheting up the complexity all the time. Moving goalposts (and a bit of complexity-bloat).
- stale2002 10y agoThey DID say the same thing 10-20 years ago, and they were CORRECT. Ever try to build a web application in Assembly language or C? It would probably be pretty difficult. You don't have to do that anymore. 1 web developer can do more work today than 100 assembly developers could, from 50 years ago.
- cmoscoso 10y agoBuild a JS app today is extremely complex.
- onion2k 10y agoI think that's more a sign that we want more from web apps than any increased complexity in the apps themselves. Building a web app now isn't any more technically difficult than building a Linux app was 20 years ago. The only difference is that the tools aren't as mature.
