   Nvidia CEO predicts the death of coding — Jensen Huang says AI will do the work, so kids don't need to learn. Coding is old news, so focus on farming. Ah yes glorious future for all of us as everyone is going to return to the farming. What makes you think machines can’t do farming? https://www.techradar.com/pro/nvidia-ceo-predicts-the-death-of-coding-jensen-huang-says-ai-will-do-the-work-so-kids-dont-need-to-learn

     @nixCraft the proof that AI won't replace workers is that managers were never replaced by flowcharts

     @nixCraft I'm learning new languages for fun (currently Spanish and Rust). No AI can take it away from me :-). And I'm wondering how well all these GPU farms are secured from electromagnetic impulse... Just a thought, not that I wish something bad should happen and impact the future of AI. This field is very promissing. But all these people who lost their jobs due to this 2nd industrial revolution, they still probably have quite a lot of resources and possibilities.

     @nixCraft Just had to finish laughing before I could type. Teaching coding at the moment and decided to try and see what ChatGPT could do with HTML and CSS. Gave it the same brief as the kids, told me to find a web developer. Paperless offices, no bookshops, synthesised music, online teaching only, they are all fads. Once people try it for a bit and realise why they did things a certain way it all changes again. I will continue teaching coding, apart from anything else, they love it.

     @nixCraft I think these days the central role of CEOs is trying their best to trick uninformed people (probably to get them to buy more stocks).

     @nixCraft Well I predict the end of CEOs. AI will do all the work 🙃

     @nixCraft, and who will develop the models? Will AI develop AI itself? Dangerous, isn't it?

     @nixCraft
     There's a lot to unpack in that. I will just point out:
     By 'farming' he likely means farming as a field of organized study. To the extent that 'machines' (i.e. systems) do farming now, they usually do it quite badly. Good farming often makes intelligent use of big 'smart' machines in ways that are counter to what farmers are taught in college. My guess would be he doesn't understand farming to that level of detail.
