> It cost $20,000
I'm curious - do you have ANY idea what it costs to have humans write 100,000 lines of code???
You should look it up. :)
That's irrelevant in this context, because it's not "get the humans to make a working product OR get the AI to make a working product"
The problem is you may pay $20K for gibberish, then try a second time, fail again, and then hire humans.
Coincidentally yes, I am aware, my last contract was building out a SCADA module the AI failed to develop at the company that contracted me.
I'm using that money to finance a new software company, and so far, AI hasn't been much help getting us off the ground.
Edit: oh yeah, and on top of paying Claude to fuck it up, you still have to also pay the salary of the guy arguing with Claude.
However, let's suppose the alternate case:
If AI works as claimed, people in their tens of millions will be out of work.
New jobs won't be created quickly enough to keep them occupied (and fed).
Billionaires own the media and the social media and will use it to attempt to prevent change (i.e. apocalyptic taxation)
What, then, will those people do? Well, they say "the devil makes work for idle hands", and I'm curious what that's going to look like.
