Earlier quoted context omitted.

- there could be a multitude of reasons, maybe chinese models become so cheap that frontier SOTA industry completely collapses as nobody wants to pay 200$ a month anymore - maybe we hit an architectural limitation that was not previously anticipated - maybe there just isnt enough power to run anymore data centers - could be any of the 4654545246541365456 reasons here

-did you stop using the internet once it got cheaper (post ADSL) -Even if that limitation is hit exactly today, 99.9% of code will still be wrote by the current SOTA AI in the future. -Nuclear energy, idk much about the energy sector but its not a bleak outlook. anyway, im super bullish on AI and LLM to solve coding.

thats the point i am trying to make https://larsfaye.com/articles/ai-coding-will-prevent-experti...

wrote this on a different HN thread somewhere, let me reiterate again... - it is going to be so bad that vast majority of these "i dont write code anymore" guys are going to be unable to write even a c++ hello world program without an LLM - the argument these guys come up with all the time is "I dont need to" - Big assumption there buddy, big assumption. Lets play both cases shall we. - Case 1: LLMs infinitely improv…

Case 3: nothing changes, the people who are currently getting good at directing LLMs get pretty good at directing LLMs, the people choosing to do things the old way get or remain good at that, the job market adjusts salary expectations for each group according to how useful they turn out to be in the new normal Case 4: LLMs continue to improve incrementally, the people who are currently getting good at directing LLMs…

Case 6: Tokens become very expensive for some reason and some devs who can't code without LLMs are hostages because can't pay or must learn the old way. Others become partly junk removal beginners because production issues. Less delivery.

Agreed it's a corner case, but still.
