Can someone actually redpill me on AI?
No hype, no cope.
Is it actually going to replace most devs in the next decade? Should I pivot?
I thought that we'd hit a scaling wall, but it seems OpenAI and Google have blasted through that.

>most dev
yes, not because AI is that good but because "most" devs are that bad

who the fuck knows that?
it also depends on where you live, EU might rule out some regulations and stuff
if you were doing it just for money you would end up miserable and burned out anyway

this
there's so many jeets churning out garbage code that AI will probably be an improvement and who cares if jeets get replaced
go back to India and wallow in the turd streets

I'll give you an answer but you won't like it.

"AI" is basically just a way for the state to grep through all the data they're collecting from end user devices. Well that and what they get from their various listening posts where they spy on communications. They've funded and are building massive data centers right now to run the software and they've promoted various people from AI companies into the US Army/Military.

The use case is what you see in China right now. They need the ability to track and tag everyone in real time. They will use the AI to give you what people are calling a social credit score. Everything you do, say, write and think will make this score go up or down based on perimeters the state has programmed into their servers housed in said data centers. Your score will determine if you get access to things. Like being able to leave your local area, rent a hotel room, buy a plane/train ticket, go to events and buy food. It'll also probably determine how much food credits (money) the state will dole out to you on a weekly/monthly basis once they crash the USD.

This is the main purpose for the software. All the other uses (replacing various jobs) are just secondary to the above. It'll be used to replace a lot of jobs but not everything. They'll still need people to help keep the data centers going and to work on software. But it'll be very few people with high scores.

Most likely it'll lead to internal war/conflict and a lot of people will die. Then they get their faggy utopia where the slave class (you) can never revolt again while the richfags live like digital kings.

The only reason to learn to program right now is because you like it and would do it as an unpaid hobby. AI is going to totally replace wagies, and anybody who says otherwise is just coping.

It will replace a lot of jobs. But not all of them. The rich people will still need human servants for example. The factories will still require a couple of people to service the robots and check up on the servers running them. Stores will still need a human or two to make sure the automated facial recognition is working correctly and to step in if it fails. Companies producing software will still need a couple of humans to check up on the code the AI generated. They'll still need humans to service the self driving cars and janny robots cleaning things up.

But we're talking about a huge reduction in jobs. Take the average office with say 50 employees. They will be reduced to maybe 5 or less people. The rest are "useless eaters" that will no longer serve any function and have no skills to work in the post-automation world. Even if they train and try to obtain skills to find a new job there will be so few of them that it'll be nearly impossible. You'll have to have a very high social credit score to qualify for the right to work in the first place. Only the trusted will be allowed anywhere near the robots and servers running the so-called AI.

The only question is will they buy off the "useless eaters" and feed+entertain them until they die. Or will they just murder them all? They've been talking about reducing the population for decades now. So I'm interested to see which way they go.

Bull. Google recently raised token prices.
>In a move that at first went unnoticed, Google significantly increased the price of its popular Gemini 2.5 Flash model. The input token price doubled from $0.15 to $0.30 per million tokens, while the output price more than quadrupled from $0.60 to $2.50 per million.
