Turns out the AI are learning to code. Two immediate takeaways from that:
1) There goes another career path.
2) Dear Sweet Baby Jeebus, have none of these people ever watched *any* science fiction? Giving an AI that has a demonstrated lack of morality the ability to re-write itself is the very height of “I *told* you not to do that!” insanity.
I saw a somewhat astonishing thing today. GPT was asked a question that it needed to write code to answer, and given access to a Python REPL. It wrote buggy code, then based on the error message it fixed its own code until it worked (and gave the correct answer). It debugged. pic.twitter.com/O6cdxH8gvC

I have a feeling that-now that CEOs heads are on the chopping blocks-there will be less resistance to higher wages for actual work-now that they have to push brooms.
Nope, literally everyone will need those last remaining human jobs, so the wage pressure will be downward.
Meh. ChatGPT is terrible at doing anything useful. Remember that these things are just playing at word association. At best they can generate boiler plate code, which good dev environments have been automating for years.
