@GaryMarcus I wonder if this will result in fewer people getting into programming short-term and actually increase the shortage of programmers in a few years.

I call bullshit. But nobody will ever hold Zuck (or Dwarkesh) responsible, if this is turns out to be wrong like so many previous overhyped predictions.

Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg:

"within 12-18 months, most of the code is written by AI"

It won’t just be autocomplete.

AI agents will set goals, run tests, find problems, and write better code than top engineers.

The statement is part of a discussion on the impact of AI on programming jobs, reflecting skepticism about AI's ability to replace human programmers and concerns about future job shortages. It engages with public issues related to technology and employment.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but expresses concern about potential negative outcomes.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement lacks empathy or compassion, focusing more on skepticism and criticism. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but lacks constructive dialogue or solutions. [-1]
