I disagree with your assertion. Efficiency, production improvements are exactly what many companies are going for. We already have a huge deficit of software that needs to be written that cannot be written with the current Human programming resources available. We have plenty of things, infrastructure and otherwise, that don’t get built because of a lack of human labor to do them. We haven’t colonized the solar system yet due to a lack of resources, etc…
It’s really pessimistic to think that all this tech is going to go to maintaining the current status quo with just much less labor.
- jaybrendansmith 10mo ago100% this. I run a software company and we never run out of new things to build. Our issue is velocity, we would be foolish to lay off employees, rather we must use AI to build things 50% faster if we can. What AI will do is further level the playing field in software, just like tractors allowed farms to expand in size.
