Won't this mean that a lot of developers in Silicon Valley will find themselves out of a job? If the competition (AI operators) can sit 8000 miles away and be paid peanuts.

The whole point is that we’re TikToking the software industry and no one will know what to tell the ai to get the software written in a way that works. It’s in principle the same as idiocracy where no one knows how to make burrito covers anymore because shit won’t grow

Maybe we need to start cryofreezing some of our best engineers as a precaution. Or even just a bunch of average ones.

		Imagine being Guido van Rossum typing away and then the cryo-freeze squad (new ICE) comes knocking.

Maybe a super smart AI will take over the part of telling the smaller AI's what to do.

Humanity can then relax in floating chairs drinking soft drinks and consuming AI generated entertainment.

Probably the other way around. The idea behind outsourcing is that you move the generic labor abroad and keep coordination and control onshore. AI can now do the generic labor for even less, so you'll likely see small onshore teams using AI instead.

AI won't end silicon valley, but could still shrink it significantly.

		Unless, of course, new opportunities arise and the economy grows. This is not even unlikely as we've seen amazing growth the last 25 years, even. In which case your sentiment is probably correct. And now that I think of it, this is potentially very bad news for the outsourcing companies in countries like India. They also have less money to spend on tokens.
