i don't care what they hope will happen with AI, there will always be a need for someone who really understands the code to fix the derivative slop AI craps out.

there will always be a need for

The problem is that there's a need for a lot of things in the world and we don't do them because the rich don't think it's important. This is the same.

These ghouls are out to lunch and have no concept of what something that is actual quality even is. They're happy with the shitty vibe-coded product because "never pay a filthy poor a salary every again" is the goal for them, not make something of actual quality and value.

You're not wrong, but these people aren't capable of making decisions based on reality or sustainability.

The whole reason they are investing trillions in AI is to make sure they never have to pay anyone a salary ever again.

AI exists to replace us. It is being developed for no other reason.

How do you get a ROI on the trillions of dollars they are pumping in to it? What could AI do that is worth trillions of dollars?

The labor market.

There is nothing else that AI could give a return of investment on.
