- if everyone stopped using LLMs and went back to coding by hand, guess what happens
- claude subscriptions stop selling
- open AI subscriptions stop selling
- both companies crash overnight
- finances are pulled back from all data center projects
- because obviously nobody wants to build something with no demand
- but 99% of HN itself is filled with "I have stopped coding manually" people
- and these are the same guys that ll on a different thread and cry about climate change
They are using the usual techniques. All successful negative things always have a claim to virtue.

After social media, streaming, crypto, what have you, too many of us have come to understand that advances in technology in this era are going to be used against us more than for us.
An insightful comment but not because I agree but because you raise the question "who benefits?" And that is a great question.
