Jensen Huang Says English Majors Are Sweeping Computer Science—What Now for "Black Myth: Wukong"?

Saturday afternoon, finally powered up. I meant to relax, but stumbled upon this news instead. Heard that English majors are about to sweep the tech world, which left me completely floored. Usually, when I'm scrolling on my phone on the subway, what I care about most is how this news relates to games. After all, for us office workers, weekend time has to be spent wisely to be worth it. He said natural language has become the core of controlling AI, and code is no longer complex.

This means that making games in the future might not require that many programmers. The global coding workforce might swell from 30 million to 1 billion. Sounds exaggerated, but thinking about it, it really does feel like weekend overtime. The communication skills of liberal arts majors have now become the hallmark of the new elite in the intelligent era.

Anyway, what good news does this actually bring for us players? NPCs in games might be able to chat with you like real people to kill time. Low-level coding work is gradually being automated and replaced by artificial intelligence. In the future, game update speeds might even be faster than ordering takeout. But then again, while technology changes, the core of a good game hasn't changed. We only care about whether the game is fun and worth spending time to experience.

The NVIDIA software engineering team is reportedly still actively hiring. What's being eliminated isn't the major, but those who don't know how to use the tools. It's like when we play games; beating the level without a walkthrough is the real skill. How I see this trend, I think it's a potential benefit for players. At least in the future when we urge developers for updates, they can use AI to fix code overnight.
