Or athlete…and with all the drugs out there to boost performance, there's similar argument there.

AI and robotics might just be the deflationary solution to our inflation crisis. All the major companies producing these products/services are American.

So however "bad" the future may be, it will be least bad for the US. Its all relative.

The focus should be on making sure AI is dominated by America and free from woke/political bias. Otherwise, China will takeover.

I just used Claude OPUS 4.6 to develop a website for my GF. She does Mahjong classes, leagues, and events. It created several thousand lines of HTML/JavaScript. I chose to use Node.js+Express with a SQLlite database on the backend. I don't write HTML or Javascript. I don't do web development.

I did not write a single piece of code: no HTML, no Javascript, no CSS, no SQL, no backend API calls... Nothing. I have a fully functional website, database, and integrated payment systems. It also created an admin site she can use to manage the backend database. Pretty much everything on the main forms: text, images, pics, fonts, etc... are stored in the database to make them dynamic and changeable.

It was easy and fast, just telling it what to do. Amazing.


Good luck to the Utes!

Does it use a platform like Wordpress or Shopify?

How can you guarantee that it's bug free if you don't know how to debug, yourself? And how do you know that it's secure?


Wordpess and Shopify are mutually exclusive to what I'm doing here. Those are sites that allow website creation and hosting. Claude is building the website at my direction. The source is in github. It's ultimately being hosted on Railway.

I know there are no bugs because.... there are no bugs. I would see them manifest themselves while iterating the website functionality. A bug is simply when the software does not do what it was supposed to do.

The app is secure because Claude knows more about security than the top security experts. The only user that has unfettered update access to the data is the admin. The only part that would be a real risk is the payment systems, which are APIs provided by Paypal, etc...

That seems to be a question that even Wallstreet and corporate america has forgotten existed.

In our rush to squeeze every dollar out of a consumer driven economy, weve forgotten that broke and unemployed individulas will mean a break point when people stop buying.

Did you write a testing module to include unit tests that get the "happy" path but also the edge cases? It's easy to have Claude generate all that code for you. Run 'npm test' from the terminal to launch the tests, or write an agent to do all that stuff for you.

I had a long drive yesterday and listened to a segment on Bloomberg. Scared the crap out of me.

Doomsday guys say 12-24 month for jobs where you look at a computer screen most of the day. He thought it will be longer than that.

His thought was this: if what the computer generates can immediately be tested and verified, you are F'ed. The prime example is coding/programming. It codes and then can immediately test it. SaaS is screwed.

I think accounting/finance is toast.

I am a lawyer and I think the transactional-type jobs are toast. Courtroom is safe for a while.

He wouldn't give an estimate but said, look, in 100 years all the jobs we know now will not exist. It is not a matter of if, but when.

It's not that more people/businesses are going to be able to offer SaaS. Yes, it will go away.

Kids? This is going to affect everyone, and very very quickly. I am expecting unemployment numbers to tick up through 2026 and get really bad in 2027 with major impacts on any information type of jobs (including software and white collar jobs sitting behind a computer).

In the early 2030s even most physical/manual jobs will be able to be done by humanoid or specialist robots. Including plumbers and electricians and mechanics....

People and society are not prepared....how could they be?

Even if you have a bunch of money saved, what is the value of that money if the economy is cratered? People aren't working, not paying taxes, have no money to put into the economy....

The futuristic ideal of "abundance" is possible on paper, but the process to get there from here has the potential to be quite dystopian and tragic.

Roughly $1 trillion (possibly closer to $2 trillion depending on what you count) has been wiped out of software and SaaS market caps in just a few weeks. The video frames it as an "AI-driven SaaS apocalypse" rather than an AI bubble popping. Anthropic's recent model/tool releasesespecially industry-specific automations like legal workflows and legacy-code modernizationhave spooked investors because they directly threaten the revenue streams of established software companies by making previously paid, specialized work cheaper or effectively free. He says this isn't just "more competition" among SaaS apps; it's demand destruction, with value rotating away from application-layer software and toward AI infrastructure (compute, chips, inference). He extends the point to everyday life: people will increasingly use AI agents to build bespoke tools on demand, reducing reliance on traditional apps, GUIs, and service providers, and he predicts the next major shockwave will hit labor as these capabilities spread.
