How will the decline in need for technical skills will affect internet cultures?

A Hacker News user asks how the decline in need for technical skills, driven by AI, will affect hacker/nerd/geek culture, which was built on deep technical knowledge in software and computer science fields.

I feel like in the past, software jobs like programming, IT and academic fields like computer science, created some identity -- these fields required deep understanding of technical details, which attracted a specific type of people, and thus allowed a certain type of culture to be created, what's called the hacker/nerd/geek culture -- and now in the age of ai, this technical knowledge is much less relevant. What will happen to this culture? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49049379 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49049379 Points: 1 Comments: 0
