Comment on What is the aim of all the AI investment?

It has already revolutionized software development. As my friend put it:
On the subject of claude code, I went to a high-level founder talk about code ai and the general consensus was that CEOs were telling their staff 100% of code must be written by an agent within 6 months or they have to leave the company. And all the focus was switching on to how you verify, for example, a 15000 line PR written entirely by AI.
100% of my own code is now written by AI. I’ve been programming for 20 years - I can write code myself, but the AI is so much faster than I could possibly be that managing it is far more productive. It makes mistakes, but so do humans.

I guess they just need to pray for 100% accuracy before you retire. There’s going to be a massive issue if hallucinations still exist and we expect software engineers to review AI code, but no one knows how to code anymore or no JR devs were ever hired again to gain experience.
But that’s a nice can we can kick down the road for future us to deal with. There’s money to be made now so fuck the future.

I hope I have 30 years until I retire, but given how rapid progress has been, I’m worried about whether or not I’ll still have a job in just a tenth of that time. The technology is just a few years old and still improving rapidly, so my bet would be that current limitations will be overcome. (And the goal isn’t 100% accuracy, because humans don’t have 100% accuracy.)
