Right now, we see that overall demand for software engineers is going up, but the junior engineers are affected, right?
So if you're a new grad engineer, you are actually struggling to get work because you're not really that much better than quad code.
But if you're a senior engineer, you're totally fine.
Lots of demand for senior engineers.
The thing is, if you look at the way that AI models have progressed on software benchmarks year after year after year, they are improving really, really fast.
And so right now, maybe AI can only replace a junior engineer, but it seems totally feasible to me that next year AI will be able to replace a mid-level engineer.
And maybe the year after that, it will be able to replace a senior engineer.
And if that continues, then...
AI will then we will no longer need human engineers to make more software.
Right.
And so the argument that people like Daria would make here is that AI breaks the necessary tie between humans and labor.
And that's the thing that people like Marc Andreessen are failing to consider.
That would be me making the steel man for Dario's case.
Yeah, so this is the argument that like Alexia Moss, the economist has made, right?
Is like, what will become scarce?
Like, oh, relational goods, like you said, therapists, you know, personal trainers will become scarce.
Party hosts, I think that there'll be a lot of party hosts after AGI, event planners, whatever it is.
And to be clear, I personally am like quite sympathetic to this argument.
But the argument that Daria would make here, or when I'm feeling pessimistic, the argument that I would make here is, actually, AIs are really good at emotional and relational labor too.
And even a lot of wealthy people choose that stuff.
