My Dem senator from a “very blue state” described the US economy with decades of forced austerity and rising inequality as a model for the world and then Trump ruined our credibility.
Let that settle in; our credibility is was built on growing inequality. Decades of austerity being cheered on behind closed doors to leave a left wing senator believing austerity politics, gentle eugenics is a model for the world.
The problem is not the parties. It’s the people in power.
It’s myopic to think other things are not possible. Sure.
No immutable force of physics acts as a forcing function to continue with AI. That’s all a debatable political/conversation for the aggregate, as the aggregate outnumber tech people.
Computer science researchers are very much a minority and the biological mass of the other billions very capable of doing away with them.
LLMs are a known quantity and while people will make money off them, energy based models will simplify even further the electromagnetic geometry needed to eliminate programmer ecosystem of languages and editors, state, used to ship software. OS will boot strap from a model and scaffold out its internal state. We’ll save resources storing all the developer cruft of the trade and compute cycles running it. We’ll compress down to a purely data driven transform of machine state with a few variadic functions processing model inputs.

So coding is going away because coding as a requirement was merely a stop gap until manufacturing caught up. The plan to achieve these things was set upon decades ago. It’s why politicians are letting it happen.
So we can do different things. That’s not the question. The question is how do we handle the transition? Violent collapse as ossified pols and self aggrandizing tech bros refuse to understand the reality for Main Street and that doesn’t sit well with human biology with kids to feed?
I for one will cover my ass by going with the flow of my immediate community and if that means get Luigi on the establishment or be considered dead weight and a traitor (say what you want about such social concepts, they are what the majority live by) well sorry tech bros but my biology means more to me than yours. Pew pew.
Yes you present a grammatically correct sentence with a consistent internal logic. You’re still one of billions and our country, you, let’s random unknowns die in the street every day. Humanity won’t bat an eye wiping out some coder bros.
Let that settle in; our credibility is was built on growing inequality. Decades of austerity being cheered on behind closed doors to leave a left wing senator believing austerity politics, gentle eugenics is a model for the world.
