Downvoters mind to explain?


Boring doom and gloom.

AI probably did not take your job yet. How many AI queries did you use last month, and how much time has it saved compared to digging through the web?


Only reading the first sentence maybe?


could you elaborate please?


both companies have large spending commitments while their margins will be continuously wiped by open models / router-like solutions. both companies are rushing for ipo and doing an awful lot of financial engineering to look good (highly recommend ed zitrons analysis on anthropic profitability) before their margins are eroded that much.


enjoy learning the job for 3 years before gettin replaced by the cheap floods


That is motivational content, but not economics. Most startups will be noise, even more so than before. The value of being a founder ceases when everyone is a founder, when it becomes universal. You will need customers. Nobody wants to buy re-invented-the-wheel-74.0. It lacks character, it lacks soul. Without it, your product will be nothing but noise in a noisy world.


Cope. If you create something that genuinely solves a problem, people will buy no matter what.

Look entrepreneurship has never been easy. In fact it's always been one of the hardest thing ever. I'm just saying... *you don't have to do it*. Do whatever you want lol

Happy to hear what's your solution to avoid becoming totally replaceable and obsolete.


How is that relevant wrt the argument?


So nothing changed


After that debacle on X, I will not try anything that comes from anthropic for sure. Be careful!


What happened?


Why would coding be that unwanted task if one decided to work as a programmer? People's unwanted tasks are cleaning the house, doing taxes etc.


But the value in coding (for the overwhelming majority of the people) is the product of coding (the actual software), not the code itself.

So to most people, the code itself doesn't matter (and never will). It's what it lets them actually do in the real world.


At some point the bubble will pop


Higher chance of AGI/most SWEs being out of a job for an extended period of time than the bubble popping imo.


Agree with this. It's so strange to me that out of the all the anti-AI arguments one can derive, the anti-AIers have settled on riding with the "it's useless" argument, when it's plainly one of the most useful tools created since the desktop computer.


These people remind me of the people in the late 19th century who were scared of electricity because they thought it could remove all the air from rooms and suffocate people.


Way higher chance


Official documentations are not always complete. It depends on the diligence of who wrote them and how good they are at writing. Customers and users will always send mails or open tickets to ask this and that about the docs afterwards. Can't rely on just learning or retrieving from the docs. Clarifications by some dev or someone who found a solution/workaround will always be required.
