The idea of LLMs putting coders out of work at a large scale seems inherently self-defeating.
The LLMs needed to ingest a massive volume of code to get to their current level of proficiency. What will happen if they put all the coders out of work and Stack Overflow is down to just a small number of hobbyists? Will the LLMs just stop advancing?

I have been watching Conan Without Borders and just coincidentally watched a 2019 episode where he goes to Greenland to arrange for its sale to the US. This was from the last time Trump was making noise about wanting Greenland during his first term.
It was pretty funny. Needless to say the people of Greenland were less than jazzed about the prospect of joining the US.
No, that's fair. Annoying but not difficult.

But then you have to wait 45 minutes for Windows update to spin, and potentially hang in the middle
