I was worried about this for several years.
I then had the realization that if someone manages to genuinely automate programming, humans will wind up still being in the loop to confirm that the generated code is reasonable under the hood, and to be sure we have people who understand what it's doing and why.
If I'm right about that, code review chops will be worthwhile in the long haul.
- Nevermark 5y agoI think the end game is humans just let self-coding machines work as long as they are generating more cash than the cost of resources they use. Otherwise ... DELETE! Or the machine runs out of the crypto it needs to purchase more computing capacity and halts naturally like Odin intended. Of course, there is just that existential risk that the machines recognizes the profit distributions we are taking are negatively impacting their margins - and ability to survive. :( Where all this goes, nobody knows! But it won't be boring.
