npub1gfdrrw9629qxwvwaa3vwnvzhtaqu2c5m9wf6vcwjnmdnhs7hl4jsux7gg6 (npub1gfd…7gg6) As a programmer.. How should that make me feel fearful? If ML systems can actually do (most) of the programming that would be great, right? We'd need fewer programmers meaning the excess programmers could be retrained and provide value elsewhere in society. Which is good considering increasing demographic pressure.
How come when coal miners become redundant we say 'don't whine, get retrained', but when programmers or professional artists do it's a tragedy?
