The value of software is going to go to zero. A good or service has a value only if buying it is easier than making it. For example, we pay for a car because the time, effort, and cost involved in building our own car would be immense.

only incredibly complex tasks like curing cancer or reversing climate change or building perfectly realistic VR worlds will require this kind of software building power.

And thus, the other 99% of software which represents everything from iPhone apps to massive ERP systems will approach 0.

Im very excited about this talk I gave. A sincere thank you to @ipam_ucla for a week of incredible learning! Starting in minute 12, I make the case for why improving hurricane predictions is a moral imperative - that’s why Worldsphere.ai exists. m.youtube.com/watch?v=vOQjsz…
