With salaries of half a million dollars a year at Meta, AI replacement promises to cut costs and redefine the job market, but raises fears of mass layoffs and an uncertain future for programmers.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is once again in the spotlight, and as usual, his statements are causing a stir. Recently, during an interview on Joe Rogan's podcast, he made a prediction that could completely change the future of the job market: artificial intelligence is about to take over the creation of code at Meta. And he is not alone in this idea.
Imagine a world where human programmers become a thing of the past, like typewriters or VHS movies. Well, that's exactly what Zuckerberg envisions for the future. Next future. He believes that AI will soon write all the code used in Meta's applications, replacing tasks that currently depend on highly skilled engineers.
What Mark Zuckerberg Revealed on Joe Rogan's Podcast
During the interview, Zuckerberg didn’t mince words: “We will get to a point where all of our application code will be written by AI, not by human engineers. And that will probably happen by 2025.” According to him, this transformation will not only reduce costs, but will also allow human engineers to focus on more creative and innovative aspects of their work.

For companies like Meta, the promise of saving billions in salaries is a lure that is hard to ignore. After all, Meta's programmers average level in the company can earn up to half a million dollars a year. For Zuckerberg, automating code is a way to maximize efficiency.
Zuckerberg tried to downplay the impact of this shift by saying that human engineers could spend their time on more creative pursuits. But did he succeed? Many experts believe that this transition will inevitably lead to massive job cuts.
Salesforce and Klarna lead the charge
Meta is not alone in this race to automation. Other industry giants are already following suit. Salesforce, for example, announced that it will no longer hire human programmers due to the advancement of its AI tools.
Another example is fintech Klarna, which recently laid off 22% of its staff, attributing this to the adoption of AI-based technologies. The message is clear: machines are increasingly taking over spaces that previously belonged to us humans.
The impact of this shift by Mark Zuckerberg and other CEOs on the future of human work
We are entering a new era where the most dire predictions about the job market are coming true. While companies are becoming more efficient and costs are falling, the price of this technological revolution may be too high for the workers who depend on these jobs.
On the other hand, we cannot ignore the benefits of this transformation: more time for innovation, lower costs for companies and, theoretically, more affordable products for the consumer. However, do these benefits justify the social consequences?
And there goes another career downhill, unfortunately the world is going from bad to worse.
Prepare to live with the consequences, depression will become more common every day.
An empty mind is the devil's workshop.

I want to see when I had a bug in the code or who will make specific changes to the system 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is AI a client? Does AI consume? The dream of these billionaires is to exterminate the human race.
