Yesterday, I wrote about Jensen Huang's provocative claim that "English is the new programming language." I gave it an aggressive timeline. In 36 months, code and content will be essentially free.
This is not a prediction; it is a heads-up. Industries that rely on the scarcity of technical creation skills – such as marketing, software development, content production, and legal services – are about to be disrupted. When natural language becomes the primary input, the economics of creation will collapse.
My Sunday essay, What Happens When English Becomes the Only Programming Language You Need?, explores what this means and why it matters. I hope you'll give it a read. -s
