Get ready for a bunch of unskilled people making the shittiest apps imaginable.

And I wonder how easy it will be to get Claude to create malware with just a few prompts...

That's because the tech industry has a deep vested interest in this type of bullshit succeeding. So it's always presented as the most awesome thing ever. Did you see the not-a-sex-robot presented at CES this year as if it was basically human rather than a freaky uncanny valley Realdoll? Even the guy who they had do the video was clearly having trouble keeping a straight face while he praised it.

So that's where all the new jobs are going to come from after the economy goes to shit because of climate change, oligarch hubris, etc.!

They are going to pay the unemployed people pennies an hour to humiliate themselves by dressing as robots and doing all sorts of menial tasks for them. It's going to be like Sleeper meets Gone With The Wind.

(I'm joking at this point, but this could make a good plot for a dark sci-fi comedy.)
