People and computers
Altman considers continued demand for people who get computers to do things.
Sam Altman says that employing people to get computers to do things looks likely to continue for much longer than some observers had expected. In this short interview clip, he is describing his interpretation of a changing field, not presenting a quantified jobs forecast.
Earlier predictions
He recalls the confidence with which some predicted otherwise.
He recalls that people were very confident six or twelve months earlier that such work would no longer be needed. The exchange highlights how quickly expectations about AI and programming can change.
Demand for software
He suggests there is more demand for software than previously understood.
Altman's proposed lesson is that demand for software has been much larger than many people realized. More software work may coexist with changes in how it is done, but this excerpt does not establish the effects on the number of jobs, wages, or individual careers.
