My Programming Job Has Become an Intelligence Buying Job

Someone still has to orchestrate. I read every decision the LMs make and will stop and pause it and test it's assumptions and output. Sure that will occur less and less, and the feedback loop may go up a few levels (I.e. it breaks in production and requires a team of investigators, a code detective, and a techno-theologist, perhaps), but the feedback from the real world (nature vs nurture) will still occur. The laws of thermodynamics and system equilibrium still apply, and the need for those to architect and orchestrate will still be needed.

In the future, I see a small percentage of benevolent system-thinkers, hackers, and architects still at the helm. And, even if 95% of the time they are the guy who feeds the dog that protects us from touching the machines, occasionally nature will force us to convene and tell the machines what to do (or at least bargain with them).

The rest of humanity will go back to the default state: digging potatoes out of the ground in a village of 200 down by the river.

Yes, someone still has to orchestrate but it's going to be fewer people with higher level of responsibilities.
