Excluding from this evolution the less "smart and able" people, whatever that is, means guaranteed social trouble. And when the pitchforks start running on the streets, living in a big city becomes rather a liability.
- staunton 2y agoI didn't really mean anything by this "exclusion" that is not already the case right now. Programers (just like anyone) who are able to solve various problems are doing well. Those who cannot, and who are not doing well can try doing something else, it's their choice. Basically, I just wanted to avoid claiming that "every single programmer will find a great new job". I guess there was no reason to put in this caveat. Economic developments have never been perfectly fair and neither will this one, which is obvious enough to not need mentioning. The wealth generated by such automation would allow for good social care systems and I hope we get some in any case. That's assuming we don't wipe ourselves out in the process.
