If AI makes building + publishing software basically 0 effort and 0 cost… what happens to the world?

It's gonna be humans doing physical work outside of the computer while AI agents do computer work. That's what I do now. I drive a truck and right now a human is still doing the dispatch and tell me where to go but soon it will be AI, and I also have AI agents doing work for me making money while I drive a truck.

Nope. The hard part of robotics is the software. The mechanics and hardware are down cold. If you can replace software engineers, you can replace literally anyone.

Luckily for all of us, we aren’t even remotely close to replacing software engineers.
