i've said this before but i'm gonna say it again: it's *fascinating* watching the software industry rediscover why best practices exist in real time

@eniko not a single one of these execs is going to be forward thinking enough to realize if you need senior engineers to review code, and your junior engineers only vibecode, eventually you're going to run out of engineers with real experience to review.
They are not expecting to need human employees in a few years.
The massive investment and eagerness to adopt AI runs contrary to your expectations, I think.
Instead you will get wars, bioweapons and genomic viruses to cull the excess humanity. Alas, our elites seem prone to malthusian doctrines.

> cull the excess humanity
There isn't an excess of humans, there's an excess of *elites*, and they're all competing for dwindling resources.
Writing's on the wall for the US empire. There's going to be less wealth to go around, austerity is going to kick in and at that point, a lot of fortunes are gonna be lost...
> Alas, our elites seem prone to malthusian doctrines.
They've had it way too easy the past 75 years. Watch as financial survival starts to become more central to their thought process, a lot of these "extraneous" belief systems are going to go right out the window...

The earth is fucking massive...
> turning all our resources into ammonia
"our resources" (communist)
> feed useless brown bodies
Okay, lets make a differentiation here, the ones collecting SNAP and playing vidia, yeah, useless. The ones in Africa working in lithium mines are productive citizens, something everyone should aspire to.

Blah blah blah blah blah they said that about 1 billion.
This is the same shit as Peak Oil, Global Warming, and the Nostradamus End of The World predictions. Every time it turns out not to happen, they just adjusts their numbers a little bit so it's gonna happen Soonβ’.
And people just keep believing them, because the idea of imminent civilizational crisis is a midwit magnet.

Again, you're mixing things. When we're talking about taking resources away from productive people and using them to produce more unproductive people, I'm entirely in agreement.
BUT, post-imperial multipolar world is going to fix that shit in a hurry. Take away World Police, and suddenly any country that starts being dumb and inefficient is gonna get invaded and start losing land. So that's gonna fix itself.
