Anthropic & Nvidia’s CEOs are Just Plain Wrong
Recently I have watched this interview with Dario Amodei from Anthropic and this interview with Nvidia CEO — Jensen Huang and both struck a chord with me. I strongly disagree and think they are way off the mark and I want to outline my reasons in this article. I am a Software Developer so of course their opinions irk me but I feel I am justified in my feelings.
Most People Don’t Want to Program
In Jensen Huang’s interview he states — “Everybody in the world is now a programmer”. Really? Everyone? Even my gran? Ok, ok I am being facetious but this statement is so ludicrous you have to allow me some leeway.
But seriously, this remark is filled with such ignorance to the current state of society and people in general that it really incenses me. Newsflash for Jensen — most people don’t want to program and would do anything to avoid it. Most people don’t want to build something to solve a problem they have, most people either just want a solution or rather just forget about the problem in the first place.
The reason for this… modern life is HARD! You have bills to pay, mouths to feed, ever increasing costs of living, health issues, sick relatives, disputes to navigate, houses to clean… the list goes on and on.
