Guest bio: Sam Altman is the CEO of OpenAI, the company behind GPT-4, ChatGPT, Sora, and many other state-of-the-art AI technologies.

Lex: So how will the homeless situation be in the future?

Sam: AI won't replace Homeless people, they'll just need a totally different skill set

[UriyahRecords]

Lex: Will anyone work in the future?

Sam: Terminator

[kraftwerk]

As an Assembly coder from the 80's I feel like nobody has really been coding since the mid 80's when C took over because the CPU's speed increased and RAM's price went down. Since that time developers don't have a clue what exactly the machine does. When they call a functio they don't know what the Stack is doing with the register contents, etc, etc.

[SiriusDogStar]

Sam Altman has made a dynasty out of not saying anything at all.

[kamilk]

Code written in most programming languages does a precise task while task given in natural language can be pretty ambiguous

[MrBorest]

I belive that coding will become more of a mathematician's (or physicist's) job than a programmer's job with this phase transition. There are already people thinking in higher levels of abstraction but without computational support. This developments on learning will bring actual computations more close to this highly abstract people.

[godblessCL]

It depends on the software. Complex financial software with right level of abstractions is not simple. Chatgpt may do a lot of tbings but he does not understand, he just predict the next word. And of course, when problems arises a human will have to examine the code ... so it is not that easy and too much hype. They will help to translate old legacy code tbough to a certain level ...

[shashwatkumar]

I think it will affect coding one way or another. My friend is saying with Github Co-Pilot, he can do 4-5 coders job by himself so there might be smaller IT tech teams in future but will solely depend on how Govt. regulate this.

[anyoneanyone]

Lex: Is there any hope for coders?

Sam: Yes, they can always unite and overthrow their AI oppressors

[amishel]

To get there, LLMs will need to be able to design and implement new languages and runtimes, create stable parsers, compilers and generate bytecode.
Being stuck with pretrained models based on the general purpose languages and old github repos won't advance the computer science

[maymonther]

Lex: what’s the future look like
Sam: idgaf about anyone. I’ll just hide in my bunker

[strahinja]

As long as business/product owners want accountability from developers, nobody will be completely replaced by AI. You can't blame chat-GPT for flaws in your code.

[truelies]

Man, AI should be able to maintain linux kernels and even version bump for kinds devices

[tonynagy]

Don't forget to program the 'can not

[aadarsh]

"We will not turn ourselves into robots, of course."

Famous last words.

[grsalvi]

Isn't current programming language non verbose version of natural language to communicate specifically what we are expecting from computers

[DennisNedryisStillAlive]

I appreciate Lex asking the questions on everyone's mind, but Sam's answers left me wanting.
Such a vague/hazy picture of what the future will look like with AI and humans coexisting.

[codefinity]

Thank you 🙏🏾 Mr. Altman. Keep up the brilliant work 🤓 🤖. Any task that can be outsourced to AI should be outsourced to AI. 👏🏾

[B_Keat]

I just dont trust people with this tech. Maybe its just me but most likely its gonna be a bad deal.
