You should probably still learn how to code.

It’S like nobody should learn math because we invented calculator . Its sounds like a commercial

Coding teaches a framework for logical and outcome based thinking. By doing so you learn how to break problems down and take all variables into consideration.

Learning how to write code is basically solving complex problems which is always critical for smart people.

Meanwhile he hires developers to create drivers for his hardware

Jensen says that because then corporations would control the world with no one knowing what is going on behind the scenes

Coding is a framework for thinking, the same is for physics.

Computer science and coding is not the same thing

Jensen doesn't want our children to learn Computer Science, his children will.

He’s encouraging that “no one has to program,” but his job is to program “to create the technologies we use.” Meaning, leave the creation of these technologies to him/them and just remain consumers of the same.

I'm also betting that 99% of the people that say that AI will now become a developer have 0 plans in the future of writing any software themselves either assisted or unassisted by AI.

💯. Started in Sept last year from zero XP in coding and almost ready to launch in a couple of months. And yeah I felt that I am becoming smarter

Based on my most recent experience attempting to get Claude to build a non-trivial app (i.e., not just another to-do/habit-tracker/meditation/crypto-wallet), I am glad that I know how to code. It fell on its face pretty hard. I was able to prompt it to fix many of its mistakes, but my ability to instruct it on how to correct the mistakes is built on 30 years of experience, 26 of that professional. Jensen wants you to buy into his utopia because it pumps his stock price.

Learning anything makes you "smarter", not just coding.

Yeah totally agree. Coding has changed how my brain works and my way of thinking and I see things that I can apply this way of thinking in daily life all the time and its been awesome

Both are correct; Jensen wants to make programming easy and accessible so that everyone even if they don't know how to code can be productive, while on the other hand that man suggests people to learn code so that we can have more smart people which will further push the limits! Basically Jensen wants to make coding/programming accessible to all even if they don't how to code which is a great thing but this doesn't eliminate the need of programmers, eventually it'll lead to a paradigm shift more or less.

People should learn that LLMs don't "learn" how to code, they just predict most probable tokens.

You don't necessarily need coding for that. There is enough other STEM fields where you learn logic.

Programming teaches you how to break tasks down into small pieces. An App into modules, modules into functions, functions into single commands.

I still think it's very far fetched that LLMs will be able to create complex software that is behaving the way that a human wants it to under the hood. It might resemble what the human wants, but it won't be exact. You will need to know how to code to help it get there.

“Coding makes you smart” is relative… it’s smart in one way, and if you don’t enjoy using it much it might just be exhausting
