People here are being complacent.
I’m willing to bet all my money that a savvy startup will log all your keystrokes and train an AI model on all the code you’ve ever written - for your employer or otherwise - and create an AI agent that can code just like you. You will no longer be needed.
And it will be far easier to implement than an AI actor.
All of it will happen within 10 years. Which, as far as job security goes, isn’t a whole bunch of time.
- wiseowise 3y agoWhat makes you think that? Seriously, what kind of job do you do on a day to day basis to even remotely consider possibility of this?
- spaceman_2020 3y agoYou’re really underestimating the incentives at play and the amount of change that can happen in 10 years.

You will no longer be needed. 1. I write very little code myself these days, and I'm pretty certain that LLMs are a very long way off from doing my type of science. 2. The type of code that LLMs can automate today is, to be frank, a waste of human capital anyways. 3. Good. Programming is a bottle neck for a lot of efforts that would substantially improve the human condition. Freezing software engineering at 2023 is weird and regressive. I'm all for upending wage-based employment and huge parts of financial capitalism. Luddite labor movements aren't the way forward.
