tokens will stop being given away for free at some point, writing software was always a pretty simple white collar job, so it makes sense it's one of the earlier ones to be automated, but really the axis of evil has it's shot now at ruling the world or whatever now, but if they miss it they will eventually be subject to the market and you really will need to automate a lot more than just software developers for models this large to be worth the cost.

Of course we should really be talking about using the state or otherwise to make training larger and larger models impossible. It's not in the public good if LLMs actually get good enough to replace a lot of human labor, only a small handful of billionaires and their cronies will ever benefit from that. The Luddites were not wrong after all.

Coding champagne socialists everywhere now.
