He can scoff at people who can’t code all he wants. I know enough history to understand how nasty science can be.

What he doesn't address is that AI doesn't have to be at a human brain level of complexity, of course, to actually erase a big chunk of entry level desk jobs, cell center positions and trucking jobs. That being said, it is no picnic to build something that can handle any real complexity. I'm in the throes of it right now.
I agree with you mostly tho.
