In one year, we'll all be waiting for your own custom kernel and OS. We definitely need more competition in the space.
The current AI hype train is exactly what steers society in the direction opposite of what you seem to want. It gives companies an excuse to fire people without taking accountability, and it gives employers an excuse to try to cut wages.
If it were as powerful as you seem to be implying, it would make software devs some of the most valuable workers on the planet. One dev would be capable of doing what entire teams were capable of before. Everyone would want to hire all the devs on the planet and churn out software at an accelerating pace to try to overtake all their competitors. Do you feel that software devs are, in fact, that valuable? Because I just see people getting fired, pay being cut, and workloads increasing to abusive levels.
