How is Nvidia CEO the biggest company in the world a charlatan when he says there will be no more programmers in 5 years? Can you explain? That's why I made this post to hear opinions incomprehensible to me.

That claim as you have stated it (I haven't seen the original words) is clearly trivially absurd and void: eg I will be continuing to develop and maintain my own code well beyond then at all sorts of levels from data gathering and system scripts up to my research modelling. He is someone who clearly benefits from mantaining hype. If he made the claim as you state then jail time may await him. Else perphaps the message was more nuanced and you are not reasoning carefully enough. Elsewhere on this story you seem to be making black and white statements when things are just not like that in practice.

  He made exactly that claim and so have all the prominent people in tech. You can find it online too and all their messages. But as I said in the post, no amount of facts or evidence can swing opinion l.

    > so have all the prominent people in tech This is not at all true. There is no consensus here.

    You really do seem to be very loose with facts and claims. Eg you make claims about "all" which are obviously and trivially false. It's not a good look, and not good for your future IMHO.

It's the same as Musk saying a Tesla will be able to drive itself from NY to LA in 2 years [2016]. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920

It's a bubble. He's grabbing as much cash as he can until it pops. The real bias here is from you, who apparently can't see reality or practice basic cynicism.

People said this when Cobol was invented. Programmers change as Languages change. Nvidea will make money by selling chips and fanciful quotes by their leadership to the future are entertainment and pr, not plans or pronouncements.
