      Within 10-20 years, nearly every branch of science will be, for all intents and purposes, a branch of computer science. Computational physics, comp chemistry, comp biology, comp medicine... Even comp archeology. Realistic simulations, big data analysis, and ML everywhere

      This tweet is infuriating many, apparently. Imagine the controversy if, in 2000, someone predicted that by 2020 most companies would be tech companies! Still true though. Good thing they didn't have Twitter back then :)

      Don't worry though, your domain expertise will remain very important. Just like how... uh... having a strong linguistics background is essential in natural language processing (formerly computational linguistics)...

      Anyway, "most science will be CS", just like "most companies will be tech cos", is a prediction you should take seriously, but not literally. It means that CS proficiency will soon be indispensable to staying relevant as a scientist: most what you will do will require CS.

      In the same way that "most cos will be tech cos" means that tech proficiency will be essential to staying in business: most of your operations will critically require tech. Walmart, AXA, FedEx, etc. are "tech companies".

      It doesn't mean that chemistry will be literally classified as a subfield of CS, or that Walmart will be literally classified as a tech company. Obviously...

      But it does mean that, if you were a business executive in 2000, you should hire people who understand tech (including at top levels), and if you're a scientist today, you should make sure that you develop your CS chops (including ML).

          I agree with the basic idea, but see it more like CS becomes a commodity skill, still the essential hammer to have in ones tool belt, but the science skills are the differentiator

          This, until your original thesis actually comes true, when things become so complicated that even human AI hybrids are no match for nature and it’s up to AGI only, to unravel its true facets. For one thing I believe only an AGI would be able to crack the complex adaptive systems

          that make up life. That is if they can be cracked at all. A considerable chunk of all research money should be directed towards developing AI, but I believe that ML is a flawed paradigm that’s going to bite the dust pretty soon.

          Do you figure it’s worth investing time into learning ML even as a SWE today?

          Learning competency with the toolset is normal not transformative. The tools may be changing but that’s all you are describing.
