    Alternative title: CEO of failing company makes shocking statement in order to attract investors.

    He might believe this but developers aren’t going anywhere. Development is just becoming more abstract. This has happened in fits since forever.

    I don’t believe that he believes that. Sounds like attention seeking by making outrageous claims.

    Maybe he really is that stupid, but I find that unrealistic.

      There are plenty of people who believe that. The date of AGI according to 700 people is 2033, so probably an AI that can code as well as humans will be ready a few years before that.

        Tbh, as soon as GPT-5 or something as powerful Drops and it’s capable of programming its successor AGI/Sentient AI is coming nearly immediately aftwards, so I hope you guys are all onboard for the new ai overlords.

      Why do you assume the AI of tomorrow is going to be the same LLM of today? I don’t think AI is going to need supervising for much longer.

        Because everything needs supervision, even the president of the United States is supervised by judges and voters.

        AI will need supervision in 5 years. Even a completely autonomous agent will need a supervisor

    As a software engineer who existing limited tools daily: actually programmers will definitly be gone. i do think there will be something along the lines of “llm supervisor”/ “Person who fixes bugs in llm code that it cant” but such a drastically lower number of them.

    like probably for every 100 programmers now there will be a few… and it will mostly be the engineers not developers. most developers right now are given a series of bug or simple feature request tickets that LLM’s now can do the majority of the work on. i cant imageine in 5-10 years
