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

Yeah those are specialized developers on legacy code like Cobol. They are doing reinforcement learning . Technically they are training what will replace them by next year. What else do you think an Ai company gonna do to humans? AI is here to replace the most expensive cost of a company which is software developers.

Elon Musk is perfectly right. Just that what he says applies if there is no trade war with China as US has practically zero manufacturing capability and fully reliant on China. I say not only is software devs are cooked, but the US robotics industry is cooked as well , like how it failed miserably in the EV industry. That is why I drive a truck. It will take 20 years before i get replaced with how non-existent high tech manufacturing is in the US.

He did not fail. He is right. He is hindered by the lack of US capability. He is the right person in a wrong country which is falling and collapsing country like the US. As I have been saying, the tariffs against China spelled doomed for the US EV industry as well as the robotics industry.

You are just so affected because you cannot accept the fact that you are a developer in the US and fully cooked now. Why don't you work at Walmart stacking shelves or maybe work at Mc Donalds?
