...does anyone have a guess as to the total amount of money spent on software developer salaries each year? What percentage of that would the AI companies need to capture to be profitable?
(I'm not trying to imply that LLMs can replace software engineers, it's just an interesting comparison. If nothing else, I suspect that if the cost of development goes down, demand for custom software will go up.)
- Wowfunhappy 5mo ago^ For what it's worth, Claude estimates $1.3–1.5 trillion. https://claude.ai/share/8a3de813-677e-4a75-9b7f-1785495c2569 https://claude.ai/share/8a3de813-677e-4a75-9b7f-1785495c2569 Honestly doesn't seem great for the AI companies.
