I wrote what I wrote before watching it. After watching it I am not afraid for the coming... 5-10 years. Ok. But what then? Why am I afraid, what am I afraid of? In the last years "AI" started to make surprising leaps every few years. What we got now is the "child of a new species". It's still a child. But it can grow. The species we are seeing scares me, as an overpaid codemonkey. I can compete with a child of it, but I could not compete with an adult of it. Imagine this system, but more advanced, more tuned to your specific domain. The systems we work with are all trapped in mind boggling complexity, but what if AI starts to untangle this, what if AI starts to truly become the only human-machine interface to produce software?

Eventually you’ll need better control systems. As AI becomes more advanced it becomes harder to understand and then control. Everything that isn’t AGI is still easy to control. My vision would be a brain computer interface, which lets you perceive the data processed by the AI and so on like you’d perceive sounds or colors. It would be like synesthesia where you perceive multiple modes of qualia correlated with together. You’d have an extremely high level “programming language” using your thoughts, the brain computer interface automatically interprets that to machine instructions. In this scenario the AI doesn’t become a human machine interface. The AI is the machine and the brain-computer interface is the human-machine interface you described. In theory you could use this to access cloud compute and delegate tasks to machines like you would today with a computer. I suspect this will help us compete with and survive artificial general intelligence.
