You can replace your employees with robots to make the tacos, but you need human beings to buy the tacos to exist.
Indeed.
But here's where it gets even crazier.
already companies have been quietly rehiring engineers because the AI could not actually do the job.
And behind the scenes, there are some tech companies that have said, if we find any element of vibe coding in your work, you are fired immediately because the vibe coding from these AIs is miserably bad and they can't figure out how to fix it because no one's created a code map of what they actually did.
So at least for now, I do believe AI will get to the point where it will be much more functional.
For the time being, we are cooked.
Look, at the turn of the century, in the 1900s, there was fears that New York would be overrun by horse manure.
They were writing, there's too many people, population growth is too much, and with all the horses everywhere, there's going to be piles upon piles of manure everywhere.
And then 20 years later, there was not a single drop of horse poop.
Right, because they invented the car.
Exactly.
So perhaps there will be some kind of technological revelation, which will help
solve this crisis.
But the end result is this.
Whether you have technology to solve your problem won't matter if there's no people to use the technology.
The last point I'll make is there's a video game about, I forgot what it's called, but you play the game where you're the cat.
Have you guys seen this one?
It was very popular.
I've seen it.
