I teach computer science at Montana State University. I am the father of three sons who all know I am a computer programmer and one of whom, at least, has expressed interest in the field. I love computer programming and try to communicate that love to my sons, the students in my classes and anyone else who will listen.
A question I am increasingly getting from relatives, friends and students is:
Given AI, should I still consider becoming a computer programmer?
My response to this is: “Yes, and…”
Will they collapse? I don’t think you are taking into consideration the rampant corruption in the government. We’re going to end up footing the bill…I guarantee it.
We are footing the bill already. The average 401k is paying the CEOs salary while they gut each company.
But yes, they will leverage the government to squeeze a bit more, in the end.
