All fields are basically over as a long term career besides perhaps prostitutes and even there I'm not entirely sure.
But the questions of how soon and by how much matter a lot.
Being early is the same as being wrong a clever guy once said.
- mikert89 2mo agono programming is verifiable, and the major LLM companies are focused on it. its the first domino to fall by probably 5+ years
- nanapipirara 2mo agoI think this is true. A lot of AI believers (me too fwiw) seem to forget it’s a lot harder to ‘close the loop’ on non-code projects. I think this is because they are usually coders.
- owebmaster 2mo agoThat's what all AI believers get it wrong about programming. Code doesn't create products, humans do.
- weatherlite 2mo agoIs it really that simple ? A programming function that has set inputs and determinstic outputs is rather verifyable. A ten million lines code base is not easily verifyable. Knowing whether an agent is improving when it's working on a huge codebase is not that easy - it could easily start hurting code quality without it being clear in any output.

- palmotea 2mo ago> no programming is verifiable, and the major LLM companies are focused on it. its the first domino to fall by probably 5+ years Which is kinda proof they're populated by sociopaths with extremely little empathy. The people who are building that stuff are programmers, and if they had a tiny bit of functioning empathy they'd stop or slow down or at least be unenthusiastic. And we're not talking about very high level empathy here, but the very basic kind of thinking about the effects on someone very much like yourself.
- swat535 2mo agoI hear you, but just to pedantic.. prostitution is certainly not a long term career either.. never has been. After 35, you're not going to find work as a sex worker..
- confidantlake 2mo agoIt is over for me before it even started.
- abnercoimbre 2mo agoCan't believe I'm correcting you on HN, but MILFs and DILFs are a thing. (Granted you'll need the appropriate genes and gym fitness.)
- weatherlite 2mo ago> gym fitness Not necessarily, there's a growing and somewhat untapped market for BBWs
- abnercoimbre 2mo agoHuh, I stand corrected too!
- ethagnawl 2mo agoDepends on your definitions, I guess, but look up people who get busted for performing sex acts at massage parlors.
