问HN:那些仍对软件职业抱有乐观态度的人——为什么?

2作者: cipherdc17 天前原帖
我们不断听到最新的大型语言模型(LLM)正在接近通用人工智能(AGI)。负责前沿实验室的人们警告或暗示,未来所有的代码都将由模型编写。有些人认为软件工程不仅仅是编码,但对于那些其他方面的工作,所需的人数也不会太多。 那么,那些在学校和工作中花费数十年时间、对编码充满热情并从编写代码中获得能量的人会怎样呢? 我不相信普遍基本收入(或高收入),因为到目前为止,世界并不是这样运作的。我从未见过一个所有人都拥有平等能力或资源的世界——无论是体力、财力,还是其他任何东西。如果每个人的收入都一样,我看不出人们工作的动力来自何处。而没有工作,我认为人们的认知能力会下降,我们最终将完全依赖机器,成为科技的奴隶。 思考这些问题让我感到相当沮丧。对于那些在科技行业中仍然积极面对每天的人:是什么让你们保持动力的呢?

We keep hearing that the latest LLMs are approaching AGI. The people who run the frontier labs are warning or hinting that soon all code will be written by models. Some argue that software engineering is about much more than just coding, but you don&#x27;t need nearly as many people for those other parts either.<p>So what happens to people who spent decades in school and on the job, who are passionate about coding and get their energy from writing code?<p>I don&#x27;t believe in universal basic (or high) income, because that&#x27;s not how the world has worked so far. I&#x27;ve never seen a world where all humans have equal capabilities or resources — physical strength, financial strength, anything. If everyone gets paid the same, I don&#x27;t see where the motivation to work comes from. And without work, I think people&#x27;s cognitive skills will decline and we&#x27;ll end up completely dependent on the machines slaves to the tech.<p>Thinking about all this has left me feeling pretty low. For those of you in tech who still feel positive about waking up every day: what keeps you motivated?
