Now is the time to unionize if you are in the tech industry. The government doesn't have a plan for how to handle this, so we are forced to buy time by unionizing to keep AI from replacing employees. You don't want to wait until AI is at the stage that it can replace you or it's too late, you want to unionize now. We are already seeing layoffs by Meta and Salesforce so that they can replace workers with AI, as AI becomes more capable year after year, this is going to become more common. We need to buy ourselves time and unionize now. This would also send a message to the government that they need to come up with a plan for how they will handle the transition towards an AI driven economy where AI performs most of the labor.

I'm in the same boat. I think it''s important for us to realize though, it's not AI we fear, but the governments refusal to plan ahead for how to handle these scenarios and how they might screw us in the process. I don't think that upskilling is the answer, at best that will buy you a couple of years. AI is going to continue to improve until it surpasses humanity in every way. How do you upscale beyond ASI's ability to replace you? You can't. That's just a myth that the tech industry is spinning to prevent the governments from shutting them down. So what can we do? Right now, you have a golden opportunity. AI is a force multiplier, and you don't need a company to make software. I recommend staying employed as long as you can, but in your off hours create your own software and sell it. Right now is the best chance you will ever have to make money with selling your own software. Once AGI is freely available everyone and their pet dog will be creating software and our salaries will be toast and our ability to sell software will decline. But for now, we're golden. Make that money now and as fast as you can. I'd also recommend taking political action. Contact your senator and tell them about the problem and give them suggested solutions. Form a labor union while AI still can't fully replace programmers and put pressure on the companies to not replace humans with AI. This will work until AGI is fully realized and fully able to replace human workers, but it should buy you some years. Remember, everyone in the industry is in the same boat. We are not alone in this, and together we can force the government to act.

What is a processor? The fastest arithmetic-logical unit (the BTC era caused faster graphics cards to appear; no matter). AI speaks the language of a computer at the lowest level, so its OBVIOUS that its the easiest to program (its arithmetic and logical). What is a pseudo-quantum processor? Still the same, only with a complexity between 0 and 1, so also just a matter of time. And a strange paradox- do programmers not understand WHAT A COMPUTER and AI ARE??? How else to explain the belief that AI will not replace them??? The CPU and AI speak the SAME LANGUAGE! But not all of them... max 99%. Ciaooo... :)

that will not happen. you sound like you dont understand what scope is in a project and how much of a system you have to understand to fix just a minor bug. this is difficult for AI to accomplish because of the multi-modal nature of how software is engaged and the specific user feedback that must be used to fix it. i dont know about you "code tour" but chatgpt has never fixed a bug in its own code let alone created a complicated enough solution to also then fix. it always screws that up and will always screw that up for a long long time. the context problem is real and you have done a surface level amount of research into the faults of AI. sad to see your video being parroted as if companies didnt just fill in roles they never intended to hire for. thats not you losing a job thats the company losing expertise. software is as human as it is robotic and there can never be a middleman like you think.

Tech is betting big that AI can greatly reduce the need for human labor in many areas, most of all coding. AI is trained on boat loads of software so it can put out some really good looking solutions. But applying that generation to very large code bases is the wild west, and we have no idea how many humans if any it will take to help guide the AI. Even the best AI models still have serious flaws when it comes to reproducing human like general logic and problem solving ability. And like you said the best ones right now are power hungry. I think it is impossible to tell how successful the inital wave of AI agent tools will be, how fast they will improve.

I am from a non technical background it's a different situation for me. I want to get into swe but now it's this whole AI thing. I am taking a gamble still gonna do it wish me luck

The term "AI agent" is complete nonesense , and its more of a copium for most. anything optimistic at this point in regards to replacements and Jobs is stupid at best!

i'll trust this guy. He has a cro magnon skull

You don't look like an AI or sound like one......maybe a year from now I couldn't tell that...for now we all humans here...mostly

I'm more pessimistic than optimistic when it comes to AI changing the software developers' market as a relatively new developer. But all I can do is be ready to pivot. The question becomes: which CS subfield should I pivot to? Right now, I'll watch closely what happens in DevOps engineering and how AI affects it.

this naive idea of a lesser intelligence controlling a higher intelligence is a textbook case of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Imagine 4-year olds trying to control 40-year olds 😂

Chill out mate. AI is just a new tool and the rest is hype. All the LLMs have very small but critical fault.

Anberlin is a nice band)

I think the problem with AI is that it can quickly become more expensive than humans. OpenAI is bleeding money for what is right now basically a party trick. How much more expensive is it going to be with super human AI that will have to do all human tasks at once? And who’s going to pay it? Right now nobody except the big companies are paying the true cost of this AI but that’s not sustainable. It’s all investment but little returns. Economically I don’t think it will work.

It does get "weird" doesn't it?! 🤔 Yeah cause the set of sets "emanates" from the "One." 🤣

I enjoyed this video ! Keep making more of these :)

If costs are going up, while your salary isn't while prosperity is increasing (due to A.I. for example), then increased prosperity is not being distributed well. Having 'a job' is a modern invention, in fact many people who are still farmers, especially in less developed countries, don't have "a job". They simply live. I can understand that you are worried, and you are right to be worried, but you the focus of your worry should be the transitionairy period. That might be hard. Either you go into A.I. or learn practical skills, electricians will be useful for at least a decade.

Blade Runner the replicants are more human than human at some point you can't espouse Being Human and The Human Experience and all that other stuff the robots will be better at that then even humans I don't think you people understand everything everything and then you're also not comprehending we don't need to get to full deal like let's say the sex bot if we start having I already saw something at CES like a neurolink device you put it on your head and you can talk to the AI and your fucking head with just neural activity he'll hear you and then it sends you the message through the bone conductor what happens when we like VR headsets like that and they find some way to send back in just sensory feelings so now people are sitting like like Sword Art Online you need to fully accept mentally embrace the idea everything defined as human will be supplanted by a machine love connection empathy there's already talk that poetry has completely Fallen to the machines poetry which is literally the definition of espousing The Human Experience i'm sure if not now at some point someone will see this comment and not know if it's fucking AI it's not for the sake of posterity but you won't believe me in the future no one will and even if they do how far into this madness until people themselves are AI did you hear what I just said about the bone conducting neural device we're Inseparable from our fucking phones could you imagine a generation raise with a neural device attached to their fucking head the voice of an all-knowing directing their every action since the earliest moment of their Consciousness they remember the machines voice in their head before they remembered their own voice and their own head they probably don't even know the sound of their own voice can we call these creatures human or are they just cybernetic puppets

No point in fear. Theres nothing you can do.

Bro im an AI Engineer, and we have 12 months bro. We are about to be pushed to the third world for the 99% and the 1% will live like kings. Only hedge would be massive investments in assets that positively cashflow.

To all of those who worry of AI takeover and who grow anxious, witness the poetry of ze frank, from ye old days of web two naught zero: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e52Wgpewn5uFgqM Be a surfer, and all will be well.

AI will hit the iceburg of hidden complexity- most people's jobs look fairly easy on the surface to automate- but it's that 90% that is hidden away below the surface that the AI's will fail at, because so much of it is informal and implicit, rather than structured and explicit. A good example is AI Art. On paper Artists are toast because we now have these machines that can create amazing art- which is true. But it turns out that being an Artist in many scenarios is more complicated than just making pretty pictures- they also have to understand a clients or Art directors brief- and more broadly understand the wider cultural context of that brief and how the Art they are making relates to the needs of the overall project. They have to be able to make progressive iterative changes to a design to respond to ongoing changes in that project- and ensure that the aesthetics of their work are consistent with the projects overall look and feel ect ect. I'm sure the same is true of programming- it's not just about code, but about many other things besides. So I would not be too concerned that AI is going to sweep us all away- the most likely scenario is that it will only really be useful to those who have the skills and understanding to make it useful- in the hands of the unskilled it will remain what it is now- a clever toy that is entertaining but not that useful.

I think there’s lots of opportunities, most people do not like thinking out sided there technical box. Most job also do not encourage it either. You can’t be creative in a job interview too risky to not tell employers exactly what they want to hear. What your left with is stagnant jobs that do nothing to skill up employees into future creative will be more important then pure skill sets.

Tried to set up some tests today with Cursor and Claude. What a pain! This is like guiding someone who knows the syntax but has like an IQ of 70. 1. I have a Google Chrome handler in my code that opens new tabs and stores information about them. It couldn't figure out that because we work with two separate node.js processes and we 'open' tab in one process but try to 'fetch' it in another, it fails because they each have separate app memory. 2. there was also a mismatch there between the 'key' we passed during opening of the tab and the one used later in retrieval. The mismatch was just because a variable was named a bit funky. A human would put some logs in to trace the issue, but the AI kept trying to guess and I had to stop it once again. What are you talking about when you say 'AI' is smarter than a human can ever hope to be? Do you have a particular model in mind? If so, let me put it in my Cursor because my today's AI session was such a waste.

my guy u seem to know things, but i think u are not as smart as do you thing you are, you smell like an average joe, with good job at least for now.

Our future economics wont be anthing recognizable to how they work now. Money wont be worth anything. But we will reach a point of abundance that you wont have to worry about survival

The only way to make money in the future will be by investing in the tech companies.

In Soviet Union, living make you.

Your comments are very genuine and thoughtful. Just remember, you are young, smart and capable of learning. There will never be a day when someone calls up a robot to wire a house. I think that the role of government should be to encourage appropriate AI adoption while at the same time, maximizing employment. IE, instead of Universal basic income, we have universal basic employment. This fulfils our nature as humans and legitimizes the benefits of AI for all and not for the privileged.

Honestly I wish I could say I felt sorry for you guys but you really did it to yourself didn't you ? So my advice is to get those delicate keyboard fingers dirty and learn electrical or plumbing, it's going to be a long long time before robots can perform remodeling in existing buildings if ever, so if that sounds harch but life's a bitch

"espousing the human spirit"? There's only one thing I can think of that a human will be able to do better than a machine in the long run, and there's zero $ in it. That's consciousness exploration. Get an isolation tank and some psychedelics. Being funny? Being creative? Nah, a machine will CRUSH us at those things - they aren't nearly as hard as people think.

I recommend you build up tangible assets or consider entrepreneurship your intelligence in these will still be useful

In 10 years? I'd say you're quite optimistic. prices keep going up, more layoffs, freeze hiring, interview process totally broken, etc.

First of all, no one knows who you are. Second, if you're trying to black pill people on AI then you've never actually used AI to understand how unimpressive AI actually is.

Do AI hype / news videos until the bubble pops.

Just continue on with your life. AI will take ages to deploy in the real world. That Jeff Clune pod was really good.

You probably just need to expand your idea of what "genuinely useful" means. I listen to or watch some content creators just for their voice, conversation cadence, and wit, to name a few. You mentioned Quinn: there are many others who post similar content, all in my orbit all hogging my watch time. I've never seen your channel before today and you've got a new subscriber. "Not really creating anything new" no one really is. Most of us need more than one source on the same topic to get it or find a tutor whose teaching style makes it click and makes it stick. Plus people's bubbles host different creator ecosystems anyways. There's a place for you. Sounds like you'll find your way tbh. Sometimes you just gotta step away from it and zoom out 1000 foot view to see where you can apply your skills and knowledge in this new paradigm. Good luck bruv.

If you can be replaced by ai it's because you need money and if you need money it's because you bought into the system or were coerced into it. Hard work will set you frei.

Every call of civil unrest? If our govts really cared about us, job security would be national security.

The jocks had their run, then the nerds took over. the nerds had their run, then robots took over. Robots had their run, and now big t!t goth girls will take over and ruled the world.

Best thing to do is to coast by, and hold on tight until UBI comes. Luckily our current administration supports the idea, Trump said before he agrees we’ll eventually need a UBI as AI automates more and more jobs, and of course Trump is closely partnered with Elon Musk, and Musk is a BIG supporter of it. So I think there’s a good chance it’ll come, but we’ll have to hold on tight until then. I predict that we’ll get a UBI sometime within 2035 to 2040

It will be chaos in the short term, but once the dust settles(prob a few years), there will be so much productivity and flourishing. Robots will produce so much food that no one will go hungry, and raw materials and transport will be so cheap that building houses will be cheap and homelessness will be solved. You just need to survive the chaotic transition period and you'll live in a utopia.

Same. In the past month, I've begun to worry even though I am an AI developer. The disruption is going to be massive in 2026+

As a small business owner with no prior programming experience, I was able to set up my own SQL database and front-end inventory system for stock and job carts using HTML within a week, with GPT guiding me through the process step by step

Is AI scaring you or is having to change your mindset? Humans don't react well to change however exponential change will require you to adapt or become obsolete. Yes it's going to get VERY competitive. The key is to leverage it's power to keep you in the loop, your creativity must be amplified by the AI itself. I run an AI consultation Agency, best believe i will adapt and pivot until i get that wireless neural upgrade in 10 years. I'm not going anywhere.

We transition to a resource based economie like the Venus project but first UBI

There is still a lot ai can not do. When ever you make a critical decision someone is responsible for the consequences, and that vil never be ai but the human making or accepting whatever ai produced or wants accepted. So when you put code into production some has to find out if a contract was broken or not. Developer jobs will evolve into a kind of reviewer job, and for a long time humans will need to understand what’s going on. Don’t be afraid and don’t stop being critical. Being critical is what’s it’s all about :)

It's a catch 22 - People without jobs can't consume to pay the corporations running the AI Agents

Im a doctor, im sure as hell concerned. All jobs… gone in 5yrs

Ai will not replace the human. Human who uses the ai will replace the human who doesn't.
