I didn't mention anything? But I'll answer your question anyway.

Be it software, artwork, essays, graphic design or movie clips. There is a market for shipping cheap junk.

Well assuming it's successful, there will be a large number of companies who's value will be reassessed as the token cost to replicate and run the business.

Multi-million dollar companies will be reduced into multi thousand dollar companies.

The CEOs will be replaced with teenagers in garages with their parent's credit cards.

If it stalls, then China will undercut the whole AI market with cheap electricity and crash the US stock market.

So what exactly is the win scenario here?

Probably a con job. The AI companies don't think they will be able to significantly improve their models in the next year or so, so they are stalling with government regulations whilst taking in investor money.

"From the perspective of the Iranian state" Well you say that but they have got a non-nuclear nuke equivalent in the form of kamikaze drones.

Oh no, I live in a flat in a converted commercial building.

They have been going wild in the UK converting office space to residential.

The Spanish tankers aren't going through because there aren't any Spanish tankers that operate in that region.

Spain has permission from Iran to send through tankers if it indeed had some.

So going forward all countries will be providing citizens of other countries free access to the internet whilst censoring their own citizens?

Static typing and duck typing both date back to the 1950s. You may have heard of Lisp.

The last new significant thing invented in programming was OOP in the 1990s.

Everything else is just ancient, OOP was about bringing the benefits of micro-services to single computer environments. Yes, you read that right

The new ECS system for 3d games was used by the first computer drawing program Sketchpad in 1963.

Programming is mostly just recycling ideas around and around.

The issue is that duck typing with a minimal set of types was the great idea of ABC, which is the language Guido cloned to make Python

Well given that the US DHS is posting on social media that it intends to get rid of all 100 million non-white Americans. What exactly did you expect?

If you are a good software developer in India then you move abroad. It's not that India doesn't make great software developers, it's just they don't tend to stick around.

Well I don't think anyone would pay for the COBOL to Java conversion software.

Since it's no longer New Years Eve, I'm a bit more sober :p

Programming language to programming language conversions seems to be one of the things LLMs are actually good at. Whether they can actually do it or not is an open question.

CEOs will mandate security so the CSOs will mandate Rust over C/C++ and so Rust will slowly take over C++ in next 20 years. Can't see anything in C++'s defense other than it's legacy. The drawback of sticking every feature from every language into your language is that it becomes a massive security hazard.

huh? I'm currently at $1500 Monthly Recurring Revenue, so I'm currently between seeing if I can increase that or if need to get a job. I'll find out in a couple of months.

Well it's in Windows, Linux and Mac OS kernels. So you moving into Retro computing?

Yep, not a single line left. Retired quicker than COBOL. Won't even be any maintenance jobs for legacy systems left.
