Random machines replacing random machines
They are trying, just give them a bit more time and money and money and money and money.
A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You'll be glad you got in on the ground floor...
We do need a little more time, though. And money.
Also, water. We’ll take all of that please, just pipe it right over to our spot in the desert. We’ll need some more money with that, of course.
Just one more datacenter, bro!
and all the water+energy a small country needs.
I'm pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren't in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It's great.
It's the AI that is prone to delusions, or was that just me?
I won't be surprised if AI ends up so expensive that they will cost more than actual developers. But as experience has shown, C-Suites prefer expensive and bloated tech than providing developers autonomy, good salaries and good career plans. They see us just as rebellious cogs in the machine.
Replacing everyone, especially on a global scale, is unlikely to be possible, since it is too expensive. But working in large companies and earning a lot of money may not work out as before, although this will depend on the country you are in and whether your government goes crazy or not.
