Dario Amodei, anthropic's CEO, just answered the question everyone is asking. Should you still learn to code?: 1. Coding is going away first. the AI models are doing it already. The broader task of software engineering takes longer but that's going too. If you're learning to code purely for job security, you're learning the wrong thing. 2. Even at 5% of the task you're still valuable. If AI does 95% and you do 5%, you become 20 times more productive. Comparative advantage is surprisingly powerful even when the gap is massive. 3. The professions with the most runway are human-centered ones. Things that mix people, the physical world, and analytical skills together. He uses the radiologist example. The doctor who understands patients and context, not just reads scans. 4. Critical thinking might be the most important skill of the next decade. When AI can generate anything, the ability to tell what's real from what's fake becomes rare and valuable. You don't want false beliefs. You don't want to get scammed. That’s his actual advice to a 25 year old. 5. AI can make you stupider if you use it carelessly. Anthropic ran studies on this. depending on how you use the model, de-skilling in coding is measurable and real. The tool doesn't cause it, carelessness does. 6. The semiconductor space is his pick for a capitalistic win in the next decade. Physical world, traditional engineering, direct AI tailwind, not software but chips.
