Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm of the mind that we are early in the timeline of AI that develops software. In 10 years, I believe that people will not do any software development. AI will be far more mature and you won't even have the same constructs that we do today, maintaining projects won't be a thing because it is only a process that exists out of current necessity.
We have grown accustomed to these temporal and defect triggers for making changes to software. That concept will eventually become obsolete. Instead of versions and builds, the development will just be a continuum, an ongoing process that doesn't really end. Future software will not have these periods of time where nothing is done, it will just be a smooth stream of ongoing improvement. It'll be the difference between watching a stop action movie that runs at 5 frames per second to one that goes at 60 frames per second. It won't get updates on an irregular basis, it will just grow and evolve like ant colonies do.
There may still be humans involved at some level, maybe just to monitor and direct, but the need for "maintainers" will not exist as it does today.
I don't, I believe that in 10 years society will be well on its way to collapse from severe climate events, food shortages, and war. Anyone who pushed AI will be dead along with the data-centers.
