Technically he didn't claim to be _employed_ as a programmer. I'll always be a programmer. But of course my job will be gone soon. Not sure what I'll do after that.. I'm too old for a new career.

Maybe the economic system of just letting billionaires do anything they want to is not the one we should be using anymore.

Hang in there as best you can. Contrary to what AI bros on HN claim, LLMs can't actually program worth a damn. In time the deficiency will become too great to ignore, and companies will be replacing their models with humans. No telling how long that will take, but this is going to get walked back just like outsourcing to cheap Indian firms got walked back in the first decade of the century.
