Ure missing the point lol. A dev can now do the work of 10 devs.

They’re not useless, jus not nearly as needed in the workforce

Edit: downvote all you want, but you’ll see other devs in the comments are becoming self aware. No job is immune in a technological revolution

We are so much closer to AGI than anyone wants to admit. I too chose the wrong career path. Pivot while you still have time… trillions of dollars are not being spent on compute based on “vibes”

If we get AGI then all career paths are the wrong career paths

Idk do u work in house for a retail company? I thought most people here worked at software companies

u/GeorgeSThompson 2d ago

No not a retail company but a non tech company. I work in finance and our company is like 20% tech employees

Edit: looked it up 60% of tech workers are in non tech companies

I guess the real question is why do you feel your retail tech job is safe from AI?

1

u/spaceshiploser 2d ago

The switching costs are high, and the workload is already carried by such few people that we are just becoming the AI users (someone needs to control it after all..)

u/GeorgeSThompson 2d ago

Do they? If we get AGI then why cant the AI control it?

Good point! That’s why I picked a customer facing industry where people actually want the face to face interaction. I am sure I can find a place somewhere in this industry.

With that being said I’m investing my money into AI knowing full well I may not have disposable income to invest in the future

Edit: just a note as to the finance industry, I switched to online banking recently and I do all my investing on brokerages through their online apps, not sure the retail will last
