Software Is Solved. Will We Be Okay?
A thought experiment panel with a philosopher, therapist, and engineer.
Suggested reading: THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS
Software will be solved in 6 month. You brief an agent: "Don't make mistakes". Walk away. Come back to a working feature.
Once that's true for engineers, the same thing happens to analysts, designers, marketers, lawyers. Travel booking. Insurance. Payment intermediation. SaaS priced per seat. Every business built on human friction collapses.
Two questions for the room.
What actually happens to work?
What happens to us while it happens?
Open debate. Come with questions.
